SCHLORP
About
it's schlorping time!!
This game was made for Global Game Jam 2026, with the theme Mask!
A mask doesn't have to be an accessory on your face: it's anything that hides stuff, and it can be used as a stencil!
The title of the game can't really be explained, you know how your brain works during game jams!!!!
How to play
Prevent enemies from reaching your gate and try to survive for as long as you can!
You must paint the enemies with the matching color or make them walk on a square painted with their color to kill them.
- Pick a mask by clicking on its icon on the right.
- Then, pick a paint color in the bottom right corner by clicking on it.
- Rotate the mask with the arrow-shaped buttons so the cells you want to paint are visible through the holes.
- Click on the spray can to spray paint through all the holes.
Masks can be used once before they get replaced and enemies respawn every turn!There are several types of enemies, each with their own way of moving and attacking, you'll need to understand their behavior to stop them in time.

This is a really neat game. The aesthetics are top notch, I love the goofy enemies that are cute enough to be fun to look at but not too cute to feel bad about killing. Heavily limiting what squares one can paint at any given time leads to excellent strategy, setting up squares several moves in advance while avoiding the erasure of traps already set. The slug-like blobs are a key addition to keep the pressure on, if they weren't there to erase paint the game would become rapidly too easy. Speaking of difficulty, while I did feel pressure as some enemies came within striking distance, I made it about 50 rounds without ever taking damage before I quit, although erring on the side of ease is probably best for a game jam entry. If you wanted to expand this at all, having some sort of roguelike pick-from-3 upgrade system seems fun to work with, or maybe some bosses to deal with. A superb entry, huge props to you. Shlorptastic.
I wondered what a game called shlorp would be about, now i feel silly for asking myself such a question. This is as shlorp as shlorp can be (positive).
you can get something in the bottom half if its in the leftmost/rightmost columns.
