Four ways to die in Ghent. And counting.
Gently Does It!
Gently Does It! is a rapid-fire microgame collection for Android and iOS, steeped in Ghent. Each round throws one absurd task at you — dodge a tram on the Korenmarkt, balance a tower of pints at the Gentse Feesten, dive under the tour boats on the Leie as a duck — and gives you a few seconds to pull it off. Fail, and Gilbert meets a gloriously stupid end. Every five points everything speeds up and new disasters unlock as you play. All of it is drawn and scored in code: no image or audio files, just a hand-built drawing kit and a synthesizer. Built with Godot, with Google Play Games and Game Center achievements and leaderboards, in English and proper Ghent Flemish.
