Gameplay

Gobliins 6 returns to the two-goblin format of Gobliins 2, featuring point-and-click puzzle gameplay built in Adventure Game Studio.¹³

The two goblins

• Fingus – the cautious, methodical goblin who interacts with objects in sensible ways.²⁴
• Winkle – the impulsive, mischievous goblin whose chaotic actions can both hinder and help progress.²⁴

Improvements over Gobliiins 5

• 16:9 extended display format for modern monitors.¹³
• More puzzles, characters, and comedic situations.¹²
• Single executable with in-game language selection.³⁶
• Enhanced save system with automatic saving at each level plus manual saves at any time.¹³

Structure

• Level-based puzzle design requiring coordination between both goblins.²⁴
• No life meter – failed interactions result in comedic animations rather than penalties.⁴⁷

Development

The Kickstarter campaign ran from October 10 to November 9, 2024, exceeding its €4,000 goal with €9,524 pledged by 388 backers.¹³

Funds are being used to cover development costs including:¹

• Music composition by Butterfly Tea¹³
• Graphic design and animation work¹
• Quality assurance testing¹³

As of the campaign’s conclusion, approximately 75% of the game was complete, with an estimated 2.5 years of additional development time required.¹⁸

Status Update (December 2025)

In a Facebook post on December 15, 2026, Pierre Gilhodes announced: “The game is almost finished, but still a thousand things to do, including finishing the translation and integrating it, a big piece. Thank you for your patience.”⁹ This indicates significant progress since the Kickstarter campaign, with translation and localization now the primary remaining work.
