The Glob is a fast-paced maze platformer developed by Epos Corporation and released in 1983 for the Arcade, notable for running on converted Pac-Man hardware. You control a blue blob-like creature tasked with eating all the food items across 24 unique, multi-floor levels while avoiding an array of enemies.
How to Play
The objective is to clear each stage of food items before the enemies catch you. Use the Arrow keys to move and navigate the maze. Press Shift to insert coins and Enter to start. Use the Z and X keys to jump and stick to the ceiling, or to interact with elevator buttons to travel between floors.
Tips
- Master the ceiling jump: Sticking to the ceiling is your primary defense. Use it to let faster enemies pass harmlessly underneath you.
- Use the elevators strategically: Enemies will follow you, so call elevators to bottleneck them or quickly escape to another floor when trapped.
- Drop to attack: You can eliminate enemies by dropping down onto them from the ceiling, which is crucial in later, faster stages.
