Goo Keeper

Goo Keeper is a 2D side-scrolling action-adventure game set in Shroomast, an interconnected mushroom world. You play as Rolly, a super Goo, and explore its maze-like lands to find and defeat creatures corrupted by toxic tar that has entered from outside pollution.

The world of Shroomast

Shroomast is home to Goos, slime creatures born from mushrooms and changed into many forms. The most advanced can take on humanoid characteristics, while others become fearsome monsters. Rolly lives with peaceful Goos in Goo Town, but pollution has corrupted other Goos and driven them to a destructive way of life. Goos can change shape and evolve dynamically, including through some of Rolly’s abilities, such as one that turns his hand into a giant hammer.

The hand-drawn semi-open world has nine primary zones, including overgrown castles, forgotten temples and a deep mushroom underworld. You can tackle areas and bosses in different orders, bypass some areas altogether, and choose your own routes through the world. Optional bosses may guard unique abilities or easier paths to other locations.

Abilities and combat

Rolly can jump, roll, block and shoot, and use abilities such as the hammer, Power roll, Energy shield, wall climbing and wall jumping. The game has three types of abilities: mandatory abilities needed to progress; optional equipable abilities, which are active or passive and let you customize your play style; and hidden abilities created by combining specific equipable abilities into alternate versions.

Abilities draw energy from a meter that refills automatically. The refill speed depends on the ability’s power, balancing faster attacks against slower, stronger ones. You can equip active and passive abilities to improve your power against tougher enemies.

Creatures and secrets

The world contains a cast of cute, creepy and monstrous Goos, animated with traditional 2D frame-by-frame art. You encounter numerous enemies and dozens of bosses, as well as hidden secrets and traps. The hand-drawn zones are filled with distinctive details, and a soundtrack accompanies the adventure.
