Gameplay and World

GOBBLE features a hand-painted 2D world where sound effects are visually integrated into the environment. Players control a character accompanied by Scythariel, a demonic bird companion that can transform into a scythe. This tool is used both for combat and for consuming defeated foes.

The game's mechanics focus on a "you are what you eat" system: consuming enemies provides health, which can then be spent to activate special abilities required for traversal and reaching secrets. Beyond the main platforming challenges, players are tasked with collecting items hidden throughout each stage as they work to reunite with their missing family.
