A downloadable playtest for Windows

Controller Required

Gnomad is an offbeat, hand-drawn, bouncing-ball platformer. Play as a gnome exploring a whimsical, sunken forest while engaging in fast-paced combat by spiking, ricocheting, and redirecting oddball enemies and bouncy projectiles. Chain together pogo bounces with volley attacks for unique combos. 

This short demo gives you a very early look at Gnomad. There's still a lot of content and polish on the way, so go easy on us! Please enjoy!

wishlisted this game as quickly as i could! the control scheme works really well and becomes very fun once you get the hang of it. love the entire art direction too---it looks really good for a game so early in development! the only issues i had were with how well the game ran (which, to be fair, i have a computer with a ridiculously tiny amount of storage) and for whatever reason i COULD NOT get into the wall jumping rhythm for a good fifteen minutes. however, i have virtually no problems with the rest of them game and think it's got a lot of potential! keep it up, jolly fellows!

Thanks for playing our game and the kind words! 

Would you be comfortable with sharing the specs of your computer? If not that's perfectly understandable. 

We'll take the feedback into consideration!
