Drink More Glurp

Drink More Glurp is a hot-seat local multiplayer party game built around one core joke: aliens studied Earth's summer sports and got almost everything wrong. The result is a collection of short, physics-driven minigames where your ragdoll character flops, launches, and catastrophically fails at events that vaguely resemble athletics. You control two hands independently using simple inputs, and that control scheme is deliberately awkward. That awkwardness is the whole point. As someone who usually cares deeply about decision trees and late-game complexity, I'll be honest: there is no late game here. No tech tree, no economy, no build order. What there is, however, is a surprisingly well-tuned chaos engine. Each minigame asks you to do something simple, makes that simple thing absurdly difficult via physics, and then puts 20 people in a room judging each other. The hot-seat format means turns move fast, downtime is minimal, and the game scales comfortably from two players to a full house. The global leaderboard integration gives solo players a reason to revisit and optimize runs, which adds a thin but real layer of score-chasing depth. The game works best as a social lubricant. If you are looking for it to carry a party on its own for four hours, you will hit a wall. The minigame variety is decent but not enormous, and after a few rounds the novelty of any single event fades. The physics engine is entertaining but not especially sophisticated. Do not go in expecting emergent complexity. What you get is reliable, repeatable laughs from watching human beings lose coordination the moment a physics system gets involved. For its target audience - groups looking for a couch or desk game that anyone can pick up in thirty seconds - it does exactly what it advertises. The 88% positive rating on Steam from a modest review count suggests a fanbase that knew what it was buying and got it. The Yogscast publishing connection means the game has some visibility with a specific YouTube-adjacent crowd, which tracks with the humor tone: broad, silly, and content-creator-friendly. If you are a solo player, the leaderboard mode gives you something to do, but this is not the purchase for you. If you have people in the room, a working keyboard or controllers, and low expectations for mechanical depth, Drink More Glurp delivers its absurd premise consistently.
