About this game
GOBBLEDYGUNK!
...also known as The God of Second Chances.
After committing suicide, our protagonist, Duo, finds that she misses the Land of the Living and wishes to return— A sentiment held by most residents of the Land of the Dead. Gobbledygunk seizes this opportunity to satisfy his twisted desires and pit all the residents of the Land of the Dead against each other in a fight to the death!
Upon death, you may choose to participate in this battle to gain entry back to the Land of the Living—with a wish granted to you by Gobbledygunk himself! The catch is, that every participant in his sick game is morphed into a form that reflects their deepest regrets from their old life. But what was meant to be a curse turned out to be a blessing for Duo, as she gained the ability to possess powerful Vessels and gain an advantage in the competition!
Now with the resources to claim her Second Chance, Duo climbs Fort Gobbledy hoping to finish what she started back in the Land of the Living...

Patch NotesOfficial
The Funk Rework
The Valiant Vessel, AKA Funk, AKA the second character on the character select, has received a rework to make them more on par with the Volitional Vessel, AKA Monk, AKA the third character on the character select. When you dash into an enemy, you can pick another direction to dash towards. This can be done indefinitely until you hit a wall, or are countered by an enemy (Example: You dash into a Crab's claw, ending your dash chain). Every other dash performed this way will grant an extra letter, so try to string together long chains of dashes! If you just wish to dash once, you can press space to enter the regular player state again.Read full article on Community Announcements (StinkyDev)Patch NotesOfficial

Small Patch
Beating the game as Gobbledygunk would get you the Steam Achievement, but would not count for 100%. This has been fixed.Read full article on Community Announcements (StinkyDev)Patch NotesOfficial

Virulent Vessels patch 2! Fixed a *very* obscure bug where if u had the old version of VV downloaded from itch way back when, the game would crash when u tried to open the steam version. Also, added a control screen, since I never had one before... Oops. Sorry to everyone who was confused! Also, the game moves a bit faster now.Read full article on Community Announcements (StinkyDev)
