Happy Grumps

About

Happy Grumps is a turn-based puzzle game where you navigate grid-based worlds to flip grumpy faces into happy ones. Choose from a cast of characters with distinct movement styles and equip them with trinkets that bend the rules of the level. Each challenge forces you to plan several moves ahead balancing limited actions with environmental obstacles. The randomly generated maps ensure no two playthroughs feel quite the same. The game’s charm comes from its clever trinket combinations. A fireball might clear a path but also melt ice platforms requiring careful timing. Developer Glenn LaBarre polishes the mechanics with tight controls and a colorful art style that masks the game’s strategic depth. Released in 2020 it remains a niche favorite for players who enjoy thinking several steps ahead. The single-player focus lets you tackle puzzles at your own pace without distractions.
