A small, determined character navigates a lonely and somewhat scary urban world with a mix of whimsy and mild tension.

What players say

Players call Gum Guy a cute but punishing platformer with floaty, imprecise controls. The difficulty is compared to I Wanna, though some find it easier than Super Meat Boy. Translation is widely panned as lazy, though the developer quickly fixes reported bugs.
