Gnomad is an offbeat, hand-drawn, bouncing-ball platformer.
Take on the role of a gnome exploring a whimsical, sunken forest while engaging in fast-paced combat by spiking, ricocheting, and redirecting oddball enemies and bouncy projectiles.

What kind of game does this look like to you?
This is the latest build of our indie game, Gnomad. It's difficult to capture the gameplay in screenshots because it's very motion-heavy.
Im curious how it reads.

It doesn't matter how many iterations of Gnomad we go through. Thomas Gurken is a universal constant.

Furnishing the hand-drawn world of #Gnomad with thousands of sprite assets can really take it out of you.
That's why we built a custom environment editor tool in @Unity.com that helps us manage thousands of sprites in every room.
