Evaluation

goblinAmerica entered Early Access on June 17, 2026 and has been actively and frequently updated by its solo developer, Gil Lawson. Since launch, the developer has shipped patches at a very high cadence — multiple feature patches in June and July 2026, a bug fix update in August 2026, and a substantial major content update on October 2, 2026. The July 3, 2026 roadmap post laid out a clear plan: first the "Lawman" update (a polish and story update), then the "Dealey Plaza/White House" update (two new levels), described as the intended format for future content updates going forward. The developer also committed that goblinAmerica would be their full-time focus through to version 1.0. The October 2, 2026 major update — "The Lawman Requests Your Presence" — delivered on the first roadmap item. It introduced a new character, new quests, a new side level, new enemy types, and mechanical improvements. Crucially, the developer stated in this same post that the update "sets the stage for the next chapter" and that they are already working on "the next batch of levels," which they describe as exciting to share. This directly confirms the Dealey Plaza/White House update (and further content) is still in development. The game remains in Early Access, with substantial content still planned and a developer who is actively communicating and shipping work.

About this game

goblinAmerica is a squirmy, bouncy shooter filled with lovely sights and horrible places.

You are a solarcel—a spirit invented by the sun. You must possess every U.S. president at the worst moment in each of their lives to correct the course of history and repel the forces of Bedlam. If you do your job, nothing bad will ever happen to anyone that matters. Everybody's life can be beautiful forever.

YOU ARE A SLIPPERY THING

Blast, bounce, slide, careen, swing, assault, and explode your way across a beautiful world with an unimaginable array of weapons, tools, items, and creams.

YOU ARE A WORLDWIDE WIZARD

goblinAmerica's surface hides deep, strange secrets. You choose how you'll access them: Earn precious medals with your dizzying speed, scour the world in search of holy items, or befriend strangers to mutual benefit.

YOU ARE A SOLARCEL

The Verminstar cowers in the Land of Being Attacked and commands the forces of Bedlam. An otherworldly swamp roils far from the Yellow Sun's adoring light. The blighted moon goblins carry out guerilla warfare from their little holes. You need to be every president. Don't let us down.
