Gomola Speed is an action/puzzle game by UPL loosely based
on the classic Snake, but with its own spin on the old formula. The
player takes control of a segmented and worm-looking mechanical robot called
the Gōmu. Each level (called 'Acts') is divided into areas and the goal
of the game is to collect all the food scattered around and to reveal the hidden
exit. However, Gōmu starts his journey as... a head, and the player's
fist task is to collect all the dispersed body segments to increase the worm's
overall length. This would be an easy job if only creatures were not roaming around,
ready to cut Gōmu's body loose if they happen to hit any of its body
segments. Thankfully for the player, these segments just wander around the levels
and can be recaptured at any time. And this is where the game really
starts - Gōmu's body is at the core of the gameplay and items, and
especially food, can only be collected when the worm encloses them within its
body. The same applies to enemies who need to be stunned with time-fused bombs
first, and then disposed of using the same encircling technique. Additionally,
the worm can only go through an exit door with all its body segment attached!
Finally, Gōmu has another trick up its sleeves and the player can speed
him up at the press of a button allowing him to over run his enemies.
Gomola Speed consists of twenty five levels and a password system allows
players to get back to the last level they reached.

Check Mode (Debug Screen):
Gomola Speed features a really extensive debug menu allowing
you to edit the game's difficulty, but also to see the sprites and background
tiles! To access it, go to the title screen and press Up, Down,
Left, Right, I, II, I, II,
Up, Down, Left, Right,
I, II, II, I, I, I,
II, II, I, II, I, II,
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Left,
Right, Right and Select. This code is rather tricky
to enter because it has to be done before the title screen disappears!
OBJ FONT allows you to see the game's sprites, BACK FONT
gives you access to the background tiles and OPTION gives you
several new options (such as invulnerability or area select).
If you start the game after activating the debug menu, you can
move around any level by holding Select.
Additionally, if you activate the FULL COMMAND option in the
debug OPTION menu, then you can enter the passwords for the last
five stages! (option not available in normal mode).

I must admit, I wasn't expecting much from Gomola Speed at first and I
initially thought that it would be another weak copycat puzzle game, simply cloning
ingredients from the classic Snake. But, as it turns out, Gomola Speed
is actually far more complex and extremely fun, and I was quite pleasantly surprised
by the game's smooth controls (the 'encircling' technique takes time to get used to though),
awesome design and incredible depth. Gomola Speed
is packed with original features and each stage has something new for the player to
discover and enjoy, such as keys, boss battles and other fun and unique additions. Simple,
addictive, responsive and very original gameplay! An unusual title that any action/puzzle
fan shouldn't miss!
