The mini-game is a 2D side-scrolling action game with cartoon-style visuals. Players control the protagonist Ruuto, who automatically scrolls horizontally, by clicking to move him between upper, middle, and lower lanes to eat as many pieces of meat as possible. Eating meat recovers stamina, and the game ends when stamina runs out or the player touches an enemy. The scrolling speed increases over time, and comments from the character Kamaeru change based on the number of meats eaten. A limited-time score submission campaign runs from May 25 to June 8. Participants who post their mini-game scores on X (formerly Twitter) with the hashtag '#ハラペコカマエル' can win a special character sticker, with 10 winners selected by lottery. The score does not affect the lottery. 'GOBBLE' is scheduled for release on September 24, 2026, for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PS5, Steam, and Windows. The package version costs 7,920 yen, and the download version costs 3,980 yen.","why_it_matters":"The mini-game offers a free, low-commitment way for potential buyers to sample the tone and mechanics of 'GOBBLE' before its September release, while the social media campaign builds early community engagement.","published_at":"2026-05-25T11:30:51.000Z","source_count":2,"sources":["Game Spark","Inside"],"citations":[{"source":"Game Spark","title":"Nippon Ichi Software's New Game 'GOBBLE' Mini-Game 'Harapeko Kamaeru' Now Playable on Official Site!
