GRIME

GRIME (2021) is a metroidvania/soulslike by Clover Bite Studios and published by Akupara Games. The game is notable for its sinewy body-horror aesthetic (teeth! you have been warned!) and its heavy reliance on rather genre-lenient parry mechanics, styled as your black hole protagonist literally absorbing the attacks and bodies of enemies.

Game-Specific Glossary

• Bellow Mace Jump: speedtech that interrupts a bellow mace air attack with a dash or a pull to gain additional height
• BLJ: Blob Lob Jank -- speedtech involving dropping a Volatile Blob to create a pull nexus in midair and therefore reset your fall speed.
• Shinedashing: Movement tech where a backdash is turned into a forward dash, costing nearly no stamina and allowing for infinitely chained dashes. Repeated chaining of this tech while walking forward is referred to as Extended Shinedashing.
• Shoryuken: Speedtech that uses the Fossil Fist's grounded heavy attack to gain additional height; named after the iconic fighting game maneuver it so resembles. Also called Fossil Fist Jumps by runners who are no fun at parties.
