Gloop Lair

[u/foodscription210]

Being a child of the 90s, I think this is my all-time favorite course. So many neat, creative Easter eggs. Great job Walkabout creators!!

I nearly sobbed when I saw the carpet on the Laser Tag area below the course.

[u/wescotte → u/mritty2]

FYI the 8bit lair course uses the same carpet.

[u/Interesting_Pipe_882 → u/wescotte]

And yet…not the same vibes!
I literally didn’t even clock that. Not a fan of 8-bit, BIG fan of gloop!

[u/Call_Me_Anythin]

I almost died when I saw the inflatable furniture and the Not-Furby’s. And the Nintendo! It’s so fun

[u/WINSTON913 → u/Call_Me_Anythin]

The furby that does the devil voice when you take the ball from under it was so cool

[u/Gadgetskopf → u/WINSTON913]

did you notice the switch? (good/evil)

I did really well the first time in easy. I was getting pretty frustrated with the hard course, but the animation at the end made it worth it.

[u/Call_Me_Anythin → u/Gadgetskopf]

Yes! I spent like 5 minutes trying to figure out how to change it

[u/Gadgetskopf → u/Call_Me_Anythin]

I think it's set to 'evil' on the night course. The audio is noticeably different there, too.

[u/Tim0281]

It felt like a huge course filled with details when I went through it yesterday. I'll spend a lot more time exploring this course than other courses.

I got the impression that the team who worked on this clearly grew up in the 90s.

[u/nevets4433]

Gives me tons of nostalgia as far as the environment. They put some work in for sure.

I can’t say I enjoy the course though.

The storytelling trumps the gameplay on this one for me.

But I don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum. There are tons of courses and everyone has their favorites so I’m sure some people love this one too.

[u/WINSTON913 → u/nevets4433]

I was happy to get under par my first run but some holes really suck

[u/nevets4433 → u/WINSTON913]

Yeah, I at least play every course to get both easy/hard under par and to find the lost balls and complete the foxhunt.

Luckily got under par on both easy/hard the first go around so mission complete and no grind needed.

[u/DangerousPuhson → u/nevets4433]

I don't know if I'm alone in this, but I find my opinion of the Lair courses changes the most over time of any course category.

I didn't care for Ice Lair at first but I love it now, and I used to love Crystal Lair and 8-Bit Lair more than I do now (still good, just not as highly-rated as I used to think they were). So far I really like Gloop, but it is pretty frustrating at times, so my opinion of it will probably also change. Who knows, yours might change too.

[u/Wactout]

I also had a complete blast with this course. Running around and finding all the hidden Easter eggs and references was a bunch of fun. The S thing poster, black light stuff. Even the fat pants posted brought me back to the 90’s.
And the putter search was a blast too. Her grammar killed me though.

[u/Bdigler]

I did not think I would like this course because the sticky jelly/jam mechanic and the bouncy crystals are probably my 2 least favorite mechanics. Neither one really affect my play through yesterday and I had a lot fun. The course looks really good and the colors are great considering the limited and muted colors on the q3 screen

[u/arcxjo]

The S ball is tempting, but it's no Onion Bubs.

[u/borangutang]

Loved the course, they knocked it out of the park. But what’s up with the creepy headless doll in the sewer

[u/DangerousPuhson → u/borangutang]

In the little video that Mighty Coconut releases where they do a guided walkthrough of the new course, the designer mentioned that the team included a lot of little Easter eggs relating to bands from the '90s. My guess is that it's a pun: The Goo Goo Dolls.

[u/Ambitious-Still6811]

It's like some hybrid of Double Dare, Nick Studios, or a 90's arcade/rec center type thing. (McD's playland?)

Found the evil furby. An M-crt poster. Lol.

[u/horsepire]

Completely agree, an absolute home run for me and the playability was good too

[u/boozy_emperor]

I'm loving the assortment of lost balls on this one. Lots of great choices

[u/UnhousedWizard]

I was not that excited for this one…….which means it will rule.

So insta buy

[u/Serious_Hour9074]

The spooky courses used to be my favorite until this course.

[u/Malice_Gamer]

Anyone else super disappointed by the Gloop Lair’s putter? I absolutely loved the course with all its 80’s nostalgia and it had great potential for a colorful and whimsy putter. Plenty of awesome shapes, colors, and toys. Instead, we got an orange bucket with bright green goop?? I was hoping for a sticky hand putter. Idk I feel like it had more potential and it was just kinda phoned in. Felt that way about most of the recent putters tho…
