Background

Gobdun, from developer Venturous, centers its action-platforming around a goblin protagonist navigating levels filled with enemies and obstacles. Goblin and small-creature protagonists are a common choice in indie action games because they allow for exaggerated, agile movement and a lighter overall tone than a traditional human hero might carry.

The game follows a fairly standard action-platformer structure, but its character and enemy design give it its own visual identity within a genre that has many similar entries competing for attention.

How to Play

• WASD / Arrow Keys — move and jump through each level.
• Attack enemies and obstacles using the combat controls shown in-game.
• Navigate hazards and platforming challenges throughout each stage.
• Complete levels to progress further into the game.

Goal & Purpose

The objective is to guide your goblin through each level's combination of combat and platforming challenges, reaching the end of each stage to progress further.

Why Play Gobdun

Its agile goblin protagonist and varied level challenges make for an entertaining action-platformer. GBK Games also has Choppy Orc for more fantasy-creature action.
