* BraggingRightsReward: The third equipment slot and the eleventh Reward key, which you get after getting all the Awards.

* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: The Queen is the ''only'' Gloople that's red in color '''and''' has gold claws. [[BossFight Uh oh]]...

** The tip screens cover just about every aspect of the game, and there are medals awarded for things one just would not expect. Furthermore, the corpse you leave behind changes appearance depending on the way you died, and a complete extra set of dead sprites were made for wearers of the Hazard Suit.
** Most impressively, if you wear both the Hazard Suit and the Reactive Armor, you are gifted with a suit of incredibly sexy armor that incorporates elements of both in its appearance.

** Heaven help you if an [[StuffBlowingUp Inkie/Grinder/Sharp and lit Torchie collide]] near you when you're unarmoured...

Furthermore, the corpse you leave behind changes appearance depending on the way you died, and a complete extra set of dead sprites were made for wearers of the Hazard Suit.

* FragileSpeedster: Frosties are the fastest of the Glooples, but explode the second they touch anything. Unfortunately, when that happens, it freezes everything around it.
** Stickies, Melties, and Inkies also all die when they collide with anything or take a single hit (though, of those three, only the Inkie is faster than the average Gloople). All three of these leave behind a nasty substance when they die, which can be quite hazardous for you (and most of the other Glooples).

*** The third attack involves an ominous darkening of the screen while it [[SuckingInLines sucks in lines]]. It then fires out a black DisintegratorRay forward. Unfortunately, you're drawn towards the ray when it is fired, and the pull is significantly stronger than that of attack 2. [[CaptainObvious Getting hit by the ray is an instant death, of course]]. This is, however, probably the best chance to defeat it, as you can get up close to it without risking being hit by attack 1.

You can play it on {{Newgrounds}} [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/450670 here]].

The game features a lisenced soundtrack by [[JonahDempcy Revolution Void]].

In 2013, {{Brainwave}} made a (mostly) {{Ambient}} album based off the game. You can listen to that [[http://brainwave1.bandcamp.com/album/amorphous here]]

* [[NoDamageRun No Screw-up Run]]: You can only get the "{{Badass}}" achievement if you don't screw up in a run. This means '''not getting harmed at all''', which includes less harmful stuff like being bumped by Glooples, Clutter shots, or Stickie slime.

*** The second attack is when it turns into a black hole and draws you in. If something (including other blobs) get too near, it uses attack 1, which thankfully cancels this attack. Due to a quirk of how this attack works, it is literally impossible to survive without reactive armor if there are no other Glooples to be sucked in.

* Queen (red). Can slash you with two claws. Will parry all attacks with her claws, except during a split second mid-lunge. Spawns harmless larva which can be killed by anything (even by stepping on them!), but can infect Glooples, if the Queen dies while an infected Gloople is on screen, it will mutate into a new Queen. Found near the end of the nest.
* [[spoiler:Razor Queen (dark blue). Looks more insectoid than slime-like, and has many, immense blades. Has a multitude of attacks and can only be slashed during a split second mid-lunge. Found near the end of the nest. If you die to a Razor Queen, you have the option to try again a few times.]]

** Oozle (green). Home in on you, takes three hits to kill, if one were to touch you, [[FateWorseThanDeath you get trapped inside it.]] Formed with two Glooples.
** Gray (Guess what color). Can harden up and become invincible, has useless spikes, going up to it gives you the same fate as an Oozle. Can stab you with a spear made from it, also takes three hits to kill. Formed with a Gloople and an Oozle.
** [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Void Eater]] (deep purple). Has six spider-like legs. Can create a deadly gravity beam that sucks in everything, and can become a mini black hole itself. Formed with a Gloople and a Gray.
* Stickie (yellow). Aims towards the player on spawning. If you hit it, it leaves it's goo, that can stick to you (and some other glooples) and slow you down. This has the added effect of insulating you from fire and ice attacks. Biters and Fuzzles covered in the stuff can't attack.
* Biter (blue). Has teeth, can lunge at you then kill you. Mascot of the series.
** Horror (blue). Looks like a giant sphere with two rings of teeth, can fling off a ring that mutates other glooples into biters, can fling off disks. Formed with two biters.
* Clutter (purple). Runs away from you. Can shoot baby clutters at you that slow you down.

* Sharp (aqua). When it sees you, it grows deadly spikes that make it invincible, unless you go around it and kill it from behind.
* Inkie (black). Fast, leaves a trail of slippery ink behind when you kill it. Can blind you for a few seconds if it hits you directly.

* Grinder (gray exterior, orange interior). It's an enormous boulder. It can squash you with ease, and is extremely tough.
* Torchie (brown). Lights on fire and leaves a trail of small, harmless flames that can be stepped on to extinguish. If you kill it ''while'' it is on fire, you die in an explosion. Can be put out with stickie goo or acid, and it'll go out on its own after a while. However, if it touches a flame from its trail, it lights up again.
* Frostie (white). Fast; can freeze you and others if killed near you. While frozen, you can shatter if ''anything'' touches you.
* Amalgam (slightly pale yellow). Can eat others to get bigger. Cutting it makes it smaller and might cause a smaller one to break off. Found near the end of the nest.
* Queen (red). Can slash you with two claws. Found near the end of the nest.
* [[spoiler:Razor Queen (dark blue). Has a multitude of attacks. found near the end of the nest.]]

*** Just keep in mind that Glooples killing each other doesn't count for your score, nor does it count for decrementing the number of Glooples left in a Single Nest. In order to make progress, you have to kill the Glooples yourself.

* Gloople (green). Basic enemies that can't kill you but stun you if they bump you. They can glom together to form worse enemies.

* FusionDance: Green Glooples can combine into a larger Gloople, which can then absorb addition Green Glooples to evolve two more times.

* OneHitKill: The Void Eater's DisintegrationRay will kill the player regardless of armor. It'll also destroy all Glooples except Grinders.

* Gloople (green). Basic, yet they can glom together to form worse enemies.

* HiveQueen: If you're (un)lucky, you'll fight one near the end of a nest.
** The idea of the Hive Queen is actually played with in-game. The descriptions for the Queen admit that it is not certain whether she really does control the hive, or whether the Gloople swarm has no true ruler and the Hive Queen is just another member of it, albeit a very powerful one.
** There is a step above the normal HiveQueen, too...

* SpikeShooter: The Horror can launch its teeth in eight directions, which also mutate standard Glooples into Biters. The [[spoiler: Razor Queen]] is just full of these kinds of attacks: she shoots spike balls that lodge in the ground, large spikes to impale you, moving spike balls that act as proximity bombs, and a TunnelKing living spike that only emerges to attack.

* ArmorIsUseless: Averted. The Reactive Armor doesn't advertise the fact, but it can deflect several kinds of attacks that would ordinarily be lethal. The [[DemonicSpiders Gray's]] [[CombatTentacles tendril lance]] will bounce off, as will the [[TrueFinalBoss Razor Queen's]] spike attack. It also protects against fire. It will explode if you are hit by something that will absolutely be fatal, such as the Biter's lunge. Played straight with some attacks that the armor offers no protection against, such as a Grinder rolling over you, Meltie acid, or the [[BossInMookClothing Void Eater's]] disintegration ray.
** Hazard Suit even more. It protects you from acid, sticky goo and ink, sure, but did you know it also counters blinding by ink, baby Clutters and Void Eater's attraction power?

* Gloople (green). Basic, yet they can glomp together to form worse enemies.

** Gray (Guess what color). Can harden up and become invincible, has useless spikes, going up to it gives you the same fate as an Ozzle. Can stab you with a spear made from it, also takes three hits to kill. Formed with a Gloople and an Oozle.

* Stickie (yellow). Mostly basic, yet if you hit it, it leaves it's goo, that can stick to you (and some other glooples) and slow you down. This has the added effect of insulating you from fire and ice attacks. Biters and Fuzzles covered in the stuff can't attack.

* Fuzzle (tan with brown fur). Takes three hits to kill. Other than that, it's like a biter that can't glomp with others.

* ActionBomb: Torchies explode if they come into contact with anything that would kill them, your sword included. Anything that won't kill them is lit on fire, instead. Freezies are similar, but explode upon contact with anything and freeze everything nearby .

* Stickie (yellow). Mostly basic, yet if you hit it, it leaves it's goo, that can stick to you (and some other glooples) and slow you down. This has the added effect of insulating you from fire and ice attacks.

* Torchie (brown). Lights on fire. If you kill it ''while'' it is on fire, you die in an explosion. Can be put out with stickie goo or acid, and it'll go out on its own after a while.

* [[NoDamageRun NoScrew-upRun]]: You can only get the "{{Badass}}" achievement if you don't screw up in a run. This means '''not getting harmed at all''', which includes less harmful stuff like being bumped by Glooples, Clutter shots, or Stickie slime.

** Hazard Suit even more. It protects you from acid, sticky goo and ink, sure, but did you know it also counters blinding by ink, baby Clutters and Void Eater's power?
