Snot Pop!

Snot Pop! is a single-screen arcade platformer about a goblin’s attempt to rescue the Goblin Princess, who has been taken by the Mouldlings. You descend into the sewers beneath the goblin castle in Snotland, trapping enemies in snot bubbles and popping them against dungeon walls.

The rescue mission

The Mouldlings are purple, sentient clumps of mould with legs and teeth. Optional story cutscenes follow the Goblin Princess and the Mouldling invasion. The game’s pixel-art presentation and silly story draw on early ’90s arcade platformers.

Trap and pop

You clear levels by outmanoeuvring enemies, chaining bubble pops into combos, collecting coins and gems, and beating the clock. S.N.O.T. combos and bonus rooms full of gems offer more to collect, while carved goblin idols and special coins grant temporary powers. Every level is a time trial, and the game saves and ranks your best times.

There are 50 levels with procedurally generated platforms, a hand-tuned difficulty curve and scripted enemy waves. After unlocking Free Play, you can tackle endless levels for as long as you last. The five enemy types are:

• Mouldlings
• Mushrooms
• Bog Belchers
• Glumbats
• The Brute

Modes and records

You can play on Easy, Normal or Hard. Steam Leaderboards track all-time scores, fastest victories and time trials for every level, alongside weekly boards and a Level of the Week. The game also has 39 achievements covering bubbles, coins, score, clears, completion and speed.

Presentation options

CRT mode is optional, and you can choose a screen frame from a selection of arcade cabinets.
