Gorefield

On March 16th, 2024, the mod's Version 2 came out, massively expanding the mod to remaster all 3 original songs, double the size of the main week, and add several other weeks and songs based on various Lumpy Touch and Garfield-related properties. A small hotfix update was released on April 6, 2024, fixing some bugs and adding a ton of new codes to the game.

Boyfriend is Jon's friend, and he went to his house to try to get rid of his cat, Garfield, who has been turned into a murderous monstrosity that wants to kill his owner. So naturally, Boyfriend decides that the only solution to such a problem is rap battles!

V1 of the mod can be downloaded here, and the V2 version can be downloaded here. The hotfix update is available in the source code, which can be downloaded here.

• Adaptation Distillation: Gorefield only takes 3 forms in V1 - normal Garfield, a mottled blob-esque form, and a titanic abomination with spindly limbs and a grotesque tongue - as opposed to the several he took in Lumpy Touch's animation. V2 adds in his bloated mantis-esque form, his flying head from the end of Lumpy's series, a few forms from the drawings of Jars Drawing and Omega Black Art, the appearance of Whiskers from Lasagna Boy, and an original cartoonier form, but still lacks a handful of forms from these artists.
• Adaptational Badass: While we get to see Lyman escape from the psychiatric hospital and power up, vowing to put everything right in Garfield Gameboy'd, in the Principal Week, you get to fight him, and he appears to be even stronger.
• Adaptational Heroism: Funny enough, Arlene in "Laughter And Cries" is the only version of Arlene ever present in the mod, and she plays a much bigger role as a playable character rather than simply being Garfield's love interest.
• Adaptational Seriousness: The original "Jon, Take me with You" short is a mostly lighthearted Garfield-themed spoof of the "John, Take me with You" song by JW Francis, and ends with Garfield being overly dramatic underneath a spotlight. The mod's adaptation of it, Take Me Jon, instead plays Garfield asking Jon to take him with him completely seriously, and it instead ends with Garfield falling into a dark void, consumed by his loneliness.
• Adaptational Villainy:
  • Lyman's appearance in Jon's basement in Garfield's Scary Scavenger Hunt is an Ambiguous Situation with no indication of who did it. In "Captive", it turns out Jon himself put him there for unknown reasons, but his crazed, threatening behavior makes it clear said reasons are malicious. However, this version of Jon appears to be different from the one in the mod's main story, who is on your side.
  • invokedAs if canon Nermal wasn’t enough of a dick, Word of God has it that this mod’s version of Nermal murdered everyone in the underworld, prompting Godfield to deal with him in "Cataclysm".
• All the Worlds Are a Stage: The middle section of "Cataclysm" is based on several previous songs, those being "The Great Punishment", "Health Inspection" (with Lasagna Boy Jon being the sole player character), and "Cat Patella"/"Mondaylovania" respectively. Downplayed, as their gimmicks do not return here.
• And Now for Someone Completely Different: "Breaking Cat" isn't related to Garfield in any way, instead being based on Lumpy Touch's Breaking Bad Gameboy'd. The closest it gets is Walter's monster form resembling a giant cat.
• Animalistic Abomination: Gorefield as usual, alongside the similar Cryfield.
• Anti-Frustration Features: When "Cataclysm" changes to earlier songs, their gimmicks aren't brought along, which is a small blessing in the context of a hectic, high-tempo Marathon Level of a song.
• Art Shift: The entirety of Alter Cat is this, with the UI being based largely on the original source material. Even Boyfriend's design is changed to be more cartoony.
• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever:
  • Gorefield's final form during "Hi Jon" is absolutely HUGE, dwarfing Boyfriend and a large portion of Jon's house in size.
  • In both of his forms, ULTRA Gorefield towers over Boyfriend considering the perspective between the two for the week's songs having ULTRA Gorefield be much further away than Boyfriend.
  • During the last stretch of "Cataclysm", Godfield is absolutely massive in size, with him taking up most of the screen after crucifying Nermal. This is also evident at the start of the final stretch, where he grows to the point of not even fitting on his half of the screen.
• Authority Sounds Deep: The Final Boss of V2 sings and speaks with a distorted albeit deep voice, and he alone is the peaceful ruler of his own world. Fitting, since this final boss is Godfield.
• Baritone of Strength:
  • In V2, Jon has a deep voice just one octave higher than Gorefield's, and he is the only playable character in the Principal Week that attacks Gorefield, both with his shotgun in "The Great Punishment" and some explosives in the climax of "Hi Jon". He even gets the first turn in "The Great Punishment", unlike a typical Friday Night Funkin' song where it starts with the opponent's turn.
  • Lyman from "BIGotes" sings in bass — and he's in his superpowered form from the ending of Garfield Gameboy'd.
• Belly Mouth: In "Balls of Yarn", Gorefield's left pose reveals a mouth that appears to have grown straight from his stomach.
• Bilingual Bonus: Lyman's song at the end of the Principal Week is named "BIGotes". "Bigotes" is a Spanish plural term that can mean "mustaches", and one of Lyman's defining characteristics is his big mustache. The song's title capitalizing the "big" portion of "bigotes" also makes it a clever bilingual pun on how big Lyman's mustache is.
• Blackground: The majority of "Cataclysm" is staged against a black background.
• Brick Joke: In the cutscene before "Cat Patella", Sans introduces himself as "I'm Skeleton Bros", a reference to his own mod. Boyfriend is about to comment on it before he is transported elsewhere, leaving a confused Chara in his place. Likewise, Sansfield introduces himself as "I'm Vs Gorefield" to Nermal before he is replaced with Boyfriend. Just before "Cataclysm", we see a cutscene revealing that Nermal has been teleported to where Godfield was, but Godfield also reveals himself by saying "I am the true VS Gorefield."
• Composite Character: The first beast that appears in Lasagna Boy, which is normally an Expy of Gorefield named Whiskers, is changed to just be another form of Gorefield in this mod.
• Crucial Cross: During "Cataclysm", Gorefield, Jon (as well as his Lasagna Boy counterpart), Sansfield and Boyfriend all have a cross on their heads, their eyes, and/or their torsos.
• Demoted to Extra: There are 2 instances of this.
  • Despite being a fundamental part of Friday Night Funkin', Girlfriend rarely makes an appearance in the mod, only showing up at the end of "Mondaylovania" to play a flute, which puts Sansfield to sleep for a little bit. However, she does appear in Alter Cat, complete with cartoony appearance, fulfilling the role she normally plays.
  • Odie himself does not appear in the mod, despite being a fundamental character of both the Garfield franchise and the mod’s source material, Garfield Gameboy'd. His only appearance was in official artwork shown in the Gamebanana mod page for V1, where a version of him with no pupils and bloodshot eyes was depicted standing beside Gorefield.
• Dismembering the Body: Losing in "Cryfield" and "Nocturnal Meow" gets poor Nermal cut up by Cryfield into several pieces. You are fortunately spared the gory details thanks to it happening in a Monochromatic Impact Shot.
• Doomed by Canon: No matter how hard you try, Godfield still ends up killing Nermal at the end of "Cataclysm" by shattering the crucifix Nermal is nailed on to smithereens.
• Easy-Mode Mockery: The toggleable easy mode is unflatteringly named "Baby Mode". Turning it on shuts off song gimmicks, in exchange for replacing the loading screen images with that of a crying baby, and its description in the options menu pulls no punches:
  Enable/Disable Mechanics (for pussys/super lowlife/small pp/poo poo eating BOZOS!)
  
  (NEW LOADING SCREEN JUST FOR YOU!!!! (huh i wonder if it has to due with babies or not...))
• Eaten Alive: Losing in the climax of "Hi Jon" leads to Boyfriend getting bloodily eaten whole by Gorefield.
• Evil Sounds Deep:
  • Although Gorefield's vocals change for all of his songs, they're all pretty deep, first using Garfield's usual deep voice in "Curious Cat", then a raspier and distorted version of his first voice in "Metamorphosis", then some sort of distorted gurgle in "Hi Jon"^note While his voice in "The Great Punishment" and the remake of "Hi Jon" is the same one from "Metamorphosis", his gurgling voice still appears for a few turns in the former, then a deeper and even more distorted version of his "Metamorphosis" voice in "Terror in the Heights", and then a voice similar to Chris Pratt’s Garfield impression in "Balls of Yarn".
  • Jon in "Captive", by virtue of being portrayed as the one who chained up Lyman in his basement in Garfield's Scary Scavenger Hunt, and being horrifyingly eager to kill Garfield after the latter finds out about Lyman, qualifies thanks to his deep vocal register.
• Expressive Health Bar: On top of the typical change in expression based on whoever's losing or winning, the character icons for almost every participant in a song are also animated in a way that's reminiscent of Line Boil animation, instead of being purely static. Sometimes they even visibly shift and move to the beat, as seen with Gorefield's icon in "Terror in the Heights" flapping his head wings. Nermal and Godfield's icons in "Cataclysm" also do this, with Nermal's in particular starting to shake with pure gold eyes and a halo when he's losing, while Godfield's expression never changes, even if Nermal's in the lead.
• Eye of Providence: A white triangle with an eye is a prominent motif in the background of the first phase. It also appears via cutscene to set up the final phase of "Cataclysm", and is even placed in the center of the divider between Nermal's and Godfield's camera shots.
• Eyes Out of Sight: In Alter Cat, Boyfriend's eyes are completely hidden from view even with his hair somewhat hiding them in his left pose.
• Fat Bastard: A few of Gorefield's forms exaggerate Garfield's weight to the point of just being giant blobs of flesh with limbs and a head stuck on.
• Faux Affably Evil: In "Captive", on top of being revealed by the mod to have chained Lyman in his basement, Jon's entrance into the song is capped off by him gently shushing with his left index finger, before letting loose a cackle, making it clear to Garfield that he's no longer safe. Jon sings to Garfield with a chipper tone similar to his counterpart from the Principal Week, and his dialogue in the segue to "Captive"'s climax is also unnervingly jovial-sounding, with him showing a pan of baked lasagna that's had something put in it, if his wording is anything to go by.
  Jon: Hey Garfield! I made this lasagna especially for you! How delicious! Huh-hu-hahahahahahahaha!
• Final Boss: Godfield serves as the final opponent of the main story, seeking to "cleanse [Nermal's] sins" for killing everyone in the underworld.
• Gold and White Are Divine: The opponent of the final week has white fur and clothes, gold pupils, highlights and a halo. Quite fitting for someone as divinely named as Godfield. This color pattern is carried over to the other stages of "Cataclysm", which consist of previous levels, but the only Splash of Color is from golden Crucial Crosses.
• High-Altitude Battle: The entirety of "Terror in the Heights", with Boyfriend fighting Gorefield's final form in the main week while being carried by him, as both ascend higher into the sky. The third section of "Cataclysm" has Nermal falling towards Godfield from the skies.
• Imposter Forgot One Detail: Gorefield takes the form of Garfield in "Curious Cat" damn near perfectly, but one small detail gives him away — his pupils disappear in his up pose.
• Life Drain: In "Captive", once Jon takes over as the opponent halfway through the song, he intimidates Garfield. In gameplay, this translates to him draining a lot of health just by hitting notes (to the point you'll usually be briefly left a One-Hit-Point Wonder by the end of his turn).
• Line Boil: Used commonly throughout the mod in V2. The outlines of loading screen images, certain note types and characters, and most health icons wobble.
• Marathon Level:
  • "BIGotes", the final song of the Principal Week, clocks in at 4:37.
  • The final week's song, "Cataclysm", clocks in at a lengthy 7:55.
• Mundanger: In contrast to most other opponents in the mod, who are supernatural, Jon is depicted in "Captive" as a normal albeit Faux Affably Evil and Laughing Mad human who kept Lyman chained up in his basement from Garfield's Scary Scavenger Hunt (which has a few bones and skulls cleanly littered on the floor, implying he had past victims). Halfway through the song, when he walks in on Garfield having discovered Lyman, he tries to kill him then and there, and is so frightening to Garfield at this point that him hitting notes drains your health.
• Must Have Nicotine: Played for Laughs in "Cat Patella", where an angry Jon asks "Where is my pipe?" the moment he shows up.
• Oh, Crap!: Boyfriend's reaction to Gorefield transforming into a monster, is beeping with a subtitle that says "shit".
• One-Hit Kill:
  • Though you are allowed to miss any other notes in "The Great Punishment", missing a shoot or reload note will instantly kill Jon.
  • A section halfway through "Fast Delivery" has Gorefield attempting to whip Boyfriend with one of his Combat Tentacles, which are dodged via warning notes. If you miss one of these warning notes, it's instant death.
  • "Cryfield" and "Nocturnal Meow" have a miss limit of 4 and 12, respectively. Miss more notes than those limits, and you guessed it, Nermal instantly dies.
• Original Generation: Cryfield is an original variant of Gorefield created by BitfoxOriginal, one of the mod's composers.
• Poison Mushroom:
  • The Principal Week introduces two new note types — claw notes starting with "Metamorphosis", and, exclusively in "BIGotes", fist notes. These don't actually harm Boyfriend's health when you hit them, but instead take off a life from a special life counter; the fist note takes off two lives. Lose all four lives from these, and Boyfriend blueballs regardless of how much health he had. You can fortunately regain lost lives by hitting heal notes.
  • The Principal Week also adds another note type, Jump Scare notes, teased at the end of "Metamorphosis", and then exclusively used in "Hi Jon". True to their name, hitting these damages Boyfriend's health while causing Gorefield to cover your screen with a loud jump scare for a few seconds, making it more likely you'll screw up hitting further notes.
  • The Sansfield Week throws in blue bone notes that damage Boyfriend's health if they're hit, functioning similarly to Undertale's blue attacks as a Mythology Gag.
• Promoted to Playable: In V1, Jon merely takes Girlfriend's place in the background and detonates the bomb midway through "Hi Jon". In V2, meanwhile, he's the playable character in "The Great Punishment" and one of the two in "Balls of Yarn". He’s even playable at some point in "Cataclysm".
• Rhyming with Itself: Lampshaded during the "The Gorefield Rap" video. "MEGALOPHOBIA! We are you PHOBIA!" "Did you just rhyme 'Megalophobia' with phobia?"
• Scare Chord: One plays during "Terror in the Heights"'s last seconds as Boyfriend almost falls off of Gorefield's grasp, but manages to hold on for long enough to finish the song.
• Shout-Out:
  • The loading screen before "Hi Jon" shows Jon looking with a tired expression at the screen with the text "The end is drawing near" or "El fin se acerca", which is a reference to a Latin American meme showing Chris Pratt saying exactly that.
  • The instrumental of "Hi Jon" is based heavily on Clock Tower's "Don't Cry Jennifer", the song featured many times in Lumpy Touch's Garfield Gameboy'd.
  • Cryfield's 2 phases seem to directly reference Wednesday's Infidelity's Mickey Mouse, albeit reaching insanity in 2 phases as opposed to WI Mickey's 3.
• Sudden Game Interface: At the last segment of "Alter Cat", definitely weird things begin happening. Gorefield suddenly gains a huge grin (similar to the grin he has in "Balls of Yarn") before transforming into his Metamorphosis form, and it all culminates into a Jump Scare at the very end of the song.
• Taking You with Me: Jon attempts this halfway through "Hi Jon", activating an explosive in the house to try and kill Gorefield, but this only transforms the monster into an even more grotesque form and only damaging an eye. Thankfully, as seen in the final cutscene, Jon managed to survive the bomb as well.
• Tear Off Your Face: If Boyfriend loses during the Lasagna Boy week, Gorefield cleanly claws his face off.
• Video-Game Lives: Starting with "Metamorphosis" for the rest of the Principal Week, the game gives you a life counter that's affected by hitting claw or fist notes, though it can be healed by hitting heal notes (which start appearing around the second-to-last song of the week, "Terror in the Heights"). Lose all four lives, and Boyfriend blueballs instantly.
• Villainous Friendship: Gorefield seems to be friends with Cartoon Cat, as they both sing together in "Balls of Yarn".
• Would Hurt a Child: Should he lose in "Cryfield", "Nocturnal Meow", or "Cataclysm", Nermal gets murdered in many ways by the version of Gorefield he's up against. In "Cataclysm", he gets killed by Godfield even when you win.
