Gish is a 2D platforming game released in 2004 for the PC. You control an amorphous tar ball character called Gish. Gish doesn't have limbs, so he has to navigate the environment in a different way.Gish has four abilities: sticky, slick, heavy and expand. Becoming sticky allows Gish to stick onto most surfaces and grab objects, becoming slick helps him to squeeze through tight spaces and become frictionless, becoming heavy allows him to break things from above and fall down faster, and expanding helps him to jump and avoid falling damage. Gish can use those abilities as long as he wants, and he can use several abilities at once.The game has 5 worlds. The first 4 have 5 normal levels followed by a boss level followed by a level where transportation is a key. The last world is a bit different. The game also features a level editor so people can make levels ranging from challenging to downright sadistic.Gish also got a mobile phone port where the storyline continues from the ending of the PC game. It also features co-op mode.Gish has shown up in other Edmund McMillen games: He is a playable character in Super Meat Boy, and a boss fight in The Binding of Isaac.Not to be confused with the D&D slang for a Magic Knight, or the first album by The Smashing Pumpkins.

Visible Silence: Gish responds "..." to every boss. Only times when he says something else is when he says "Calm down ho" to Hera or when he manages to reach Satan. In the mobile phone port, he is much more talkative though.

 Gish (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf
comment
Unwinnable by Design: Fourth boss. When all the blocks fail to crush it, it's time to restart the level. Also, some of the normal levels with lava pits can cause that. Third boss would also be Unwinnable, but fortunately it it still possible to use some brute force to defeat them should the original plan fail.

comment
Some Dexterity Required: First few hours of gameplay until you get a hold of controls. Jumping feels very awkward, navigating environments feels difficult, and so on and so on. Some time later, though, when abilities and their combinations are put to good use, it's much easier to do so.

Goomba Stomp: Basic way to attack enemies. However, since it's a physics-based game, there are more creative ways of killing them like throwing them into the air, rolling over them, sometimes even making more obscure strategies.

Absurdly-Spacious Sewer: Although smaller than most of the sewers, it has large rooms, too. Canonically, Gish isn't a large creature though so sewers are quite cramped in some places. Partly justified for being an abandoned city.
