Gnilley is serenity now in Time Waster form

Filed under: , ,

GnilleyGnilley is a game by Glen Forrester that was made in two days for Game Jam Sydney 2010, an event that brings experimental game designers together to try to make some interesting games. While the game's graphics are certainly not going to wow anyone, the gameplay is, shall we say, unique.

The game looks like any other top-down adventure game from the late 80's or early 90's, and you move around in much the same way. But where Gnilley differentiates itself is in how you attack the monsters and roadblocks that you encounter: you scream. Loud.
