Super Glob (also known as The Glob or Beastie Feastie) is a fast-paced maze-platformer released in 1983 by Epos Corporation for the arcade. Players control a small blue creature navigating a multi-floor complex to collect all the scattered food items while dodging various animal enemies. Originally designed to run on converted Pac-Man arcade hardware, the game is renowned for its intense speed and unique vertical traversal mechanics across its 24 unique levels.
How to Play
The objective is to clear each level by eating all the food on screen. Use the arrow keys to move your character. You can press the action buttons (typically mapped to Z, X, or C in the browser) to perform a jump that lets you stick to the ceiling, or to call the elevators to your current floor. Mastering the elevators is crucial, as they are your main way of moving vertically between the platforms.
Tips
- Use ceilings defensively and offensively: Sticking to the ceiling is a great way to let pursuing enemies pass harmlessly beneath you, but you can also drop down from the ceiling to crush them.
- Weaponize the elevators: You can use the elevators not just for transport, but also to crush enemies that happen to be caught above or beneath the car as it moves.
