Drink More Glurp (v2025.10.03)

Alien athletes misunderstand Earth’s summer sports with spectacularly clumsy results in Drink More Glurp, a physics-driven party game built for laughter, sabotage, and improbable victories. Every competition looks vaguely familiar—running, throwing, jumping, and other athletic contests—but loose ragdoll movement turns even basic actions into a battle against momentum. The tone is cheerfully ridiculous rather than serious, with strange extraterrestrial advertising culture constantly interfering in the name of “better” entertainment. It is the kind of game where a record-breaking throw can become a face-first collapse seconds later.

Players control an athlete’s two arms independently with the analogue sticks, using them to grab, swing, propel themselves forward, and desperately recover from bad landings. Events are reshaped by sponsors that impose bizarre conditions, so an ordinary race may suddenly demand a completely different technique or equip everyone with absurd abilities such as laser-powered hands. Party Mode supports two to twenty local players, cleverly keeping large groups involved through drop-in participation, shared-controller play, and deferred turns rather than forcing everyone to own extra hardware. Solo players get a Challenge Mode with online leaderboards, replay viewing, and opportunities to study high-scoring runs before refining their own awkward athletic methods.

What makes Drink More Glurp work is how much personality it pulls from a deliberately simple control scheme: each player invents their own flailing, swinging, often effective way to tackle an event. The huge pool of event-and-sponsor pairings means rounds rarely play out alike, while the readable cartoon physics makes failures entertaining even for people waiting for their turn. Replays turn great performances and complete disasters into part of the social experience, giving the game some welcome competitive depth beneath the silliness. Fans of Gang Beasts, Heave Ho, or chaotic couch games such as Ultimate Chicken Horse should find plenty to enjoy, and it remains approachable for newcomers because failure is half the fun.
