Grr Grr Gnomes is a co-op adventure about a group of very small gnomes who have somehow ended up in a very large ocean. There is a ship, a collection of islands to investigate, supplies to find, strange creatures to deal with, and one fairly important objective: figure out how to get home. The game combines exploration, survival, physics and lighthearted chaos, with both solo and online co-op play.
The ship is the center of the journey, but it is hardly a safe little home base. Players sail between islands looking for useful resources such as food and fuel, explore unfamiliar locations and deal with creatures that are considerably less friendly than the game’s tiny protagonists. Every island moves the crew a little farther across the ocean, while the physics-based gameplay means even ordinary situations can quickly become unpredictable.
For a game like this, the official Grr Grr Gnomes Discord server has a particularly practical role. The developers, emolingodev and FireAtacck, direct players to Discord through the game’s Steam announcements, including for reporting bugs, sharing clips and screenshots, and giving feedback during development. The same Discord invitation is listed among the game’s official social links.
That development connection is important because Grr Grr Gnomes is still being actively worked on. The team has already used playtests and the demo to gather player feedback and fix problems, including the wonderfully appropriate category of physics bugs where ships or objects behave in ways nobody intended. The developers have specifically encouraged players to report those strange moments through Discord.
The server therefore has a clear purpose beyond simply finding people to play with. Players can follow development news, discuss the demo, report technical problems, share discoveries from the islands and find other people for online co-op. For a physics-heavy adventure where keeping the entire crew alive is already an achievement, having somewhere to compare what happened during a session is useful in its own right.
There is also a natural community angle to the game’s format. One group might be carefully collecting supplies and trying to keep the ship running. Another might spend half the session investigating something that obviously should not be touched. Someone falls overboard, somebody else has to go back for them, and suddenly the carefully planned expedition has become a rescue mission. The developers themselves lean into this unpredictable side of the game rather than presenting Grr Grr Gnomes as a perfectly controlled survival experience.
The official Discord for Grr Grr Gnomes is where that community comes together while the game continues to take shape. It connects players with the developers, keeps feedback in one place, and gives co-op crews a place to find each other and talk about their latest voyage. If your idea of an adventure involves tiny gnomes, a questionable boat, an enormous ocean and a worrying number of things going wrong, this is the community built around exactly that.
