About Gish
✦ AI summary
Play as Gish, a sentient ball of tar navigating the twisted sewers of a forgotten city to rescue your girlfriend from a shadowy captor, using your malleable body and physics-based abilities to solve puzzles and defeat grotesque enemies. The game stands out with its innovative gelatinous protagonist mechanics, destructible environments, and robust level editor that lets you create and share your own challenges with the community.
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. Following Brea's calls for help, Gish suddenly finds himself in the subterranean sewers of Dross, a long forgotten city filled with twisting corridors, evil traps, and some of the most demented creatures imaginable.
With his gelatinous structure as his only means of defense, Gish must follow the echoing cries of his damsel in distress deep within the earth below. What freakish creatures dwell in this subterranean land? Who is Brea's captor? And just how far down does the rabbit hole go?
Life isn't easy when you're a 12 pound ball of tar...

Game sucks ass, but has way too much charm too be mad at it1 found this helpful
This game's kinda a gem (if you play version 170) Gish initially feels really bad to control but after a certain point you will master him and the levels will feel like jokes1 found this helpful
Forgotten gem, a very nice platformer with nice atmospheric levels and music. Short but fun to play.
Part of a humble bundle, I couldn't get into it.
GISH IS A GREAT GAME WOULD RECOMMEND THIS GAME
the later levels suck
