A Gummy’s Life

Engage in a wild brawl with a bunch of characters made of fruit gum and sugar.

“A Gummy's Life” looks exceptionally sweet at first glance, but it doesn’t take long for things to turn sour. After all, it’s your task to fight against other candies in the role of a colorful character made of fruit gum. You can use the flexibility of the sugar mass to dodge and deal out punches and headbutts yourself. You can also use the shoulder buttons of your gamepad to hold on to opponents.

The game includes 4 different modes that cover the standard repertoire of the genre: Free For All, Team Deathmatch, King of the Hill and Hot Potato. Furthermore, there are 19 different maps, most of which include some additional challenges. On the clock, for example, large needles continuously move in circles, and on the honeycombs, the walkable space gets smaller and smaller over time.

“A Gummy's Life” is a wacky brawler with wobbly characters, and therefore strongly reminds us of “Gang Beasts”. If you can't get enough of the latter, “A Gummy's Life” is definitely worth a look. The sugar-sweet setting is compelling and there’s enough content to keep you busy for multiple sessions.

Why you should play it:

• Amusing fist fights in the style of “Gang Beasts”, but with cuter characters.
• Includes a decent selection of maps/modes and the option to add bots, if you’re not enough people.

Please note: On PS5/PS4, a maximum of 4 players is supported. The other consoles supports up to 8 local players, Steam technically even more. If you play in online mode, only one person per device is allowed. However, there is cross play between consoles and pc as long as you’re in the same region (EU, US etc.).
