Gooey features a hexagonal grid of platforms that fall over the duration of the match, shrinking the area of play. At the start of play, all platforms of the correct type are sorted into an array, where they are subsequently set to fall in a specific order during the match. The period between platforms falling is random within a range, with a change in material indicating the next platform to fall.
The audio for Gooey is quite minimalist, due to the time constraints of a game jam. As a result, the audio cues are simply fire events.
