Sharp-toothed greetings! Hi, Maria here, narrative designer on GRIMPS . Today I’ll walk you through how we created one of the game’s most unusual enemies — the Honeyspitter .

Players are constantly dealing with groups of regular Grimps — they jump, overwhelm with numbers, and create constant pressure on the battlefield. But during t…
Sharp-toothed greetings! I’m Alexander , Technical Artist at WATT Studio . Today I’d like to talk about how we create procedurally generated buildings in GRIMPS . One of the most time-consuming parts of game development is creating the environment. Drawing assets and assembling locations can take a huge amount of production time. To speed up development and reduce the workload on our art team,…
Sharp-toothed greetings! In action games, a boss is not just an enemy with a huge health bar. It’s a final exam for the player. After winning, the player should feel catharsis and strong positive эмоtions. In GRIMPS, we treat boss fights as a checkpoint that tests three key things: - Mastery of mechanics. How well the player uses the tools learned throughout the game. - Reaction and timing. The…
Sharp-toothed greetings! We’re kicking off Steam Next Fest — and launching a global challenge. ⚔️ The rule: Destroy 50,000 Grimps using any weapon. Hamster-shotgun, shrimp-gun, or swordfish — pure skill only. Important: this is a shared goal. Every Grimp you defeat adds to the global counter. You can contribute 200. Or 1,000. What matters is pushing the number forward together. And if we reach…

Each critter has a different f…

The stuffed plushies mutated. Cuteness cracked. GRIMPS emerged from the soft seams. After playtest, we realized that these creatures were more than just cute stuffed plushies. They are brighter, more dynamic, and far more chaotic than we thought. That's how GRIMPS was born — a distorted word combining grim and imps. Small, dark creatures that live by their own rules and bring a little more madn…
We are opening access to the first playtest of Plushes. Since launching the coveted button, we have collected more than 11,000 applications from players from all over the world. We decided not to distribute information about the launch of the playtest on our social networks in advance, and did not expect such activity. This allowed us to select the most attentive players who will definitely be…
