Guru Gloo

Swing to the end of the world in this old school action adventure!

GURU GLOO is a small and poetic game about climbing and finding meaning in existence.

As a child Gloo was always told that climbing is a pointless and meaningless endeavour, but now in his later years he has come to terms with who he is and so he climbs once again.

Embark on a last adventure with Gloo to learn about climbing and what it means to find your own path in life. Together with Gloo you go on a journey that takes you from the confines of a climbing gym out into lustrous mountains and lastly into the endless skies.

Guru Gloo merges immersive action with puzzle solving through simple, yet challenging gameplay. The fine-tuned balance between the need for speed and the need for thought gives a challenging adventure which is not for the faint of heart. When you play the game you can climb everywhere while uncovering secret areas and hidden truths. Levels provide multiple paths to completion and players that like to speedrun will have a good time finding the optimal way to rush through each level.

Gloo is a small blue explorer who travels through stunning environments by swinging from one obstacle to another. When reaching new areas Gloo changes colour and mood. When collecting hearts, Gloo gets enhanced energy that helps him in his climbing endeavours.

GURU GLOO is the first title from Copenhagen-based indie studio Niila Games, a team of ambitious youngsters looking to make their mark in the landscape of games.
