Grumz allows players to explore a fresh, new gameplay with a twist. By pressing and holding anywhere on the screen, players learn to control and master the continuous movement of the geometric structure. The players' reflexes and play wits are challenged by avoiding the different types of incoming Grumz. Players can also collect multiple power-ups that enable offensive and defensive capabilities against the Grumz to survive and score big. A minimal visual aesthetic and dream-like sound design compliments the fresh gameplay concept, instantly pulling players into a game that belongs on every mobile device.

Prior to the recent 2016 release of Grumz on iOS, Grumz has been awarded 1st place by industry judges for the Big Indie Pitch at the Montreal International Game Summit 2015.

Jim Squires of Gamezebo names Grumz "One of the best mobile games of 2015." Grumz has also been covered by Japan's Famitsu business blog.
