{{stub}}'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (ゴモラスピード) is an action game for the [[PC Engine]]. The player controls the head of a snake like robotic being. They must gather all of the body parts in the level, then use that body to encircle all of the level's orange pellets, which opens up the exit. The player can drop a bomb out of the last body segment, which automatically draws nearby enemies toward it, but will hurt any part of the player that's within the range of the explosion. This only stuns enemies, though the player can then encircle them to temporarily eliminate them. In a few levels, the player is also given a laser that can be shot out of the front segment, which is used to fight bosses.

In a few levels, the player is also given a laser that can be shot out of the head. Other levels feature bosses that must be defeated in order to reveal the Exit Hole using bombs or the laser.

Encircling food and enemies will also award bonus points, with bonus multipliers added the more food/enemies that are encircled at one time and the fewer body parts the player has. Defeating all enemies in a level will award a bonus of 10,000 points. In some levels, such as Act 3, items and enemies may be hidden underneath the floor, which can be exposed by encircling the floor, and some levels have multiple Exit Holes that lead to different levels.

Gomola Speed (ゴモラスピード) is a 1990 action game for the PC Engine by UPL.

Gameplay

Gameplay screenshot.

The player controls the head of a snake like robotic being known as Gorm (ゴーム). They must gather all of the body parts in the level, then use that body to encircle all of the food in the level (often in the form of orange pellets), which opens up the Exit Hole. Once it has been opened, Gorm must enter it with all body parts in order to move on to the next level. Gorm can be moved in eight cardinal directions with the D-Pad, and holding Ⅱ will make Gorm move faster.

The player can drop a bomb out of the last body segment by pressing Ⅰ, which automatically draws nearby enemies toward it, but will hurt any part of the player that's within the range of the explosion. Bombs can destroy certain types of walls but can only stun enemies, though the player can then encircle them to temporarily eliminate them. In a few levels, the player is also given a laser that can be shot out of the head. Other levels feature bosses that must be defeated in order to reveal the Exit Hole using bombs or the laser. Body parts will be dropped if they touch enemies or bomb explosions, and Gorm will be killed if the head is attacked directly.

Encircling food and enemies will also award bonus points, with bonus multipliers added the more food/enemies that are encircled at one time and the fewer body parts the player has. Defeating all enemies in a level will award a bonus of 10,000 points. In some levels, such as Act 3, items and enemies may be hidden underneath the floor, which can be exposed by encircling the floor, and some levels have multiple Exit Holes that lead to different levels.
