Gobble

Gobble is a top-down arcade puzzle game where you guide a hungry underground chasm across each stage to consume every object resting on the surface. Created by Fancade, the title challenges players to clear the board entirely while steering clear of any walking humans standing in the path.

Every stage presents a compact grid filled with items like rocks, fences, and props that must slide down the open gap. While the basic mechanics stay straightforward, each new puzzle introduces tighter corridors, moving targets, and tricky placements where a single mistake forces an immediate restart.

How to play Gobble

The main objective is simple: navigate across the map and swallow all inanimate objects until the board is completely clear, without catching a single person inside the opening.

You can guide the pit using standard keyboard inputs or direct mouse movement:

• WASD or the arrow keys let you slide in four cardinal directions.
• Clicking and dragging with the mouse pulls the opening toward your cursor.

Once every required piece drops beneath the ground, the stage clears and transitions to the next layout.

Puzzles and avoiding humans

The central difficulty in Gobble comes from separating harmless clutter from bystanders. Humans often stand directly beside target items or roam close to narrow passageways. Because your underground opening swallows anything directly overhead, you must plan careful routes rather than rushing across the floor.

As puzzle layouts evolve, you encounter tighter gaps between objects and humans. Dropping an innocent bystander into the hole ends the attempt right away, requiring careful alignment and steady positioning to complete the board safely.

Tips for clearing stages

• Approach crowded clusters slowly so you do not accidentally pull nearby people into the pit.
• Clear isolated items on the perimeter first before attempting risky maneuvers in congested areas.
• Use subtle taps or small mouse drags to position the edge of the mouth right up against objects.
• Observe moving paths before entering a narrow corridor shared with pedestrians.
