Gish

Gish is a platformer created by an independent Cryptic Sea studio. Its main character is a sphere formed from tar. While walking with his companion Brea, his beloved was suddenly pulled into the canal. Desperate and furious, Gish moves without hesitation into the increasingly dangerous underground world divided into more than 30 levels.

We observe the actions of the main character from the side. The player's task is to use a special feature of Gish that allows him to move on vertical surfaces and the ceiling. Gish encounters a number of threats in the form of deadly lava or spikes. There are also hostile creatures living in the canals, who can be defeated most often by simply jumping on them, as was the case with Mario games.

Along with the progress we unlock additional play modes and levels. In addition to stages for a single user, the creators have also prepared boards that allow two players to compete on a common screen. As a rule, they consist of pushing the opponent on the spikes, but among them there is also a parody of American football. There are also many free levels on the Internet thanks to the included editor.

The graphic design of this title is relatively simple and refers to the classics of the genre. Most of the opponents encountered were shown in a grotesque way, which gives the production of the Cryptic Sea studio a specific climate.
