We Love It's Guide to…

Gish

Gish is a ball of tar who plunges into the underground city of Dross after Brea is taken below ground. You guide him through the sewers, following her calls for help. Move through twisting corridors filled with traps, creatures, and puzzles using Gish’s physics-driven, gelatinous body. Environments can also be destructible. The game includes more than 34 story levels, collection levels, unlockable modes, and six versus modes. A level editor lets players make levels, with additional player-made levels available to download.

Play Gish, a tar-ball hero, through physics-driven sewers as you dodge hazards, fight creatures, and search for Brea.

Break Destructible Environments

Gish isn't your average hero. In fact, he's not your average anything...you see, Gish is a ball of tar. A Sunday stroll with his lady friend, Brea, goes awry when a shadowy figure emerges from an open manhole and pulls Brea below ground.
