Gumball Hero
Gumball Hero is a fast-paced 3D action roguelike in which players control a gumball machine fighting to survive in a mall overrun by sugar-crazy kids.
Players shoot bouncing gumballs, bounce them around corners and use each type’s effects to destroy enemies. Gumballs include Mint, which freezes enemies, Pepper, which burns them, Watermelon, which slows them, Homing, which tracks them, and Nesting Dolls Candy, which creates swarms of projectiles.

Why it matters: Gumball Hero is the first game from Three Coins Games, founded by Zaid AbuAbdullah, and one of 21 games in Exel by Merak’s Cohort 3. It is built around a build system in which players combine different gumball effects and a timed leaderboard that rewards fast runs.
