About this game
JOHN GLEEP is a tiny alien with a big problem. His casino is a failure and he owes the mob a galaxy. Solution? Fly from planet to planet and forcibly abduct gamblers to boost business, pay off your debt, and fix your failed marriage in this unexplainable intergalactic action-roguelike mashup.
How’s one alien supposed to steal resources and citizens from unsuspecting planets while managing a failing casino full of involuntary gamblers? At the same time, obviously. Zip across the planet to abduct everyone while avoiding high-alert attacks from Captain Missile. Fill your bouncy gambling empire with every abductee and watch them tumble around while you deal with distractions. Also you’re gonna be defusing bombs. And squashing bugs. And ignoring virtual meetings. And probably a bunch of other stuff at the same time.
Every planet ransacked is another day closer to your debt being collected on by the nefarious dentist/mob boss Joey Norp. Maximize profits by upgrading and customizing your casino with pegs from the gacha machine. Use the Junk and Gadgets you find on each planet to bolster your ship or activate distracting new abilities. Don’t forget to fuel up that Hyperdrive, though - escaping to a new star system means more planets to raid, and more time to pay off the mob.
Failure to pay means game over for John Gleep. Or does it? A new run means new casino combos, new planets to discover, and another chance at clearing your debt. If you work hard enough, you might even encounter helpful companions you can earn a variety of permanent upgrades from. You could also listen to their problems and help them out with their personal lives, but whatever, you’ve got a galaxy to pay off.
Want a break from the hustle and bustle of managing your casino and abducting unsuspecting gamblers? Explore the star system and cut loose! Go to club, bet on some Binko Races, maybe play a chill round of Human Poker. Or, check in on your ex-wife Lucille and your precious Lil Gleepy. They really need you to step up and chip in some more, you know.

Announcing JOHN GLEEP! And it’s published by offbrand games!
Are you an alien? Are you in massive debt? Do you fly a UFO and have a complicated relationship with the mother of your child? Then you might just be JOHN GLEEP, the protagonist of my next game - JOHN GLEEP! Check out the reveal trailer below!This trailer came out as part of the Secret Sauce Showcase, which is run by offbrand games. They don’t just run the showcase, though… they’re also publishing JOHN GLEEP! I’m so excited to have the support of the team at offbrand games. They’ll be helping with lots of stuff like marketing, localization, QA, promos, and more.. With their help, I get to focus on developing the game and making it the best it can be!The character, John Gleep, has been stewing around in my head since summer of 2025. I knew he ran a casino, that he had trouble with his family life, and that he owed the mob a galaxy. While the story unraveled, the gameplay ideation took some time to develop. The question was - how do I build a casino manager type of game that has the intense urgency the story demanded? And so, in early 2026, the idea was born of a split-screen style of gameplay where one side is UFO action “intake”, and the other is the idle-casino “outflow.” All the other roguelike systems followed this central shape of the game. It’s a strange, but exciting bend of genres that I hope you’ll enjoy!We want YOU to playtest JOHN GLEEPWant a chance to try out JOHN GLEEP early?
