Evilsmurfs

**Evilsmurfs** is the first title in the Evilsmurfs Series. The series is loosely connected to the .exe parody genre, as the parody is more in the gameplay than in the theme.

The characters and theme are a parody of The Smurfs, with the characters flipped and distorted.

In the title, the player controls Gurglemeel (then "Gurglemeal"), who is caught up in a fight against the Evilsmurfs. He must make his way to the location of Poopah Evilsmurf and fight him.

An expanded version titled **Evilsmurfs: Gamejolt Edition** was released on Gamejolt exclusively, featuring a whole new section and a new boss fight against Reginald Smurfblum. This version of the game is accepted as the canonical version, as Smurfblum appears in subsequent titles.

## Plot

### Preceding Events

While not shown in game, a fight breaks out between Gurglemeal and Poopah as they argue over which show to watch. This results in Poopah losing his temper and deploying his Evilsmurf Army, initially designed to protect Gurglemeal, out on him.

### The Battle Begins

Gurglemeal plows down several Evilsmurfs across a bridge. He walks off the bridge and across the air as he hits a few more on some floating blocks. He then moves onto a boat, taking out all those aboard.

### Smurfblum's Submarine

*Note: This section is missing from the original release of Evilsmurfs*

Gurglemeel enters the water below him, finding a submarine. Entering the vessel, he kills various worker smurfs who were working to fix the decrepit ship.

He enters the chamber of Reginald Smurfblum, who tells him to "prepare to microwave thy furnace!" before Gurglemeal kills him and damages the submarine's reactor.

The ship explodes behind him as he manages to crawl back up to the land above him.

### Confronting Poopah

> There you are Gurglemeal. Let's fight to the death! Come my smurf army, we will destrau the melt!
>
> Poopah Evilsmurf

Gurglemeal encounters Poopah, who is preceded by a line of Evilsmurfs. He simply runs straight through them, killing Poopah last. Poopah lets out a bloodcurdling scream as he withers away.

### Oiram

Gurglemeal speaks with Oiram, who asks him what he has done. Gurglemeal simply takes this to be an illusion, and makes nothing of it.

### Aftermath

One month after the events, Tha Men had received intel on the incident. In response, they sent agents "Deep Throat" and "Arnold" to investigate. As they confronted Gurglemeal at his home, they asked if he was the same guy that attacked the Evilsmurfs, as well as the same one who was related to his parents Gargenburg and Jolameel. He lies to them, changing his name on the spot to "Gurglemeel" and explaining it as a coincidence. The agents agree and leave him alone.

## Development

Development directly followed Sackboygame2.exe, with gameplay based on the ending part where Yobkcas runs into Oirams to kill them.

The game was initially released with four levels, completely omitting the Smurfblum section.

Five months later, an expanded version was released with an all-new section featuring a new "boss," Reginald Smurfblum. This expansion was meant to justify it's uploading to Gamejolt as it was too short before.

## Trivia

* The characters are a parody of The Smurfs, with Gurglemeal being based on Gargamel and the Evilsmurfs being based on The Smurfs. Poopah Smurf is based on Papa Smurf, while Smurfblum has no analogue.
* The character's roles are flipped from the source material, with Gurglemeal being the hero and the Evilsmurfs being the villains
* Gurglemeal's name change was the result of miscommunication between PinkMedic and Definitive Doggo. This resulted in an explanation being made to solve the discrepancy.
* The name "Gurglemeal" is an in-joke between PinkMedic and Definitive Doggo, as the latter originally misheard Gargamel's name as "Garglemelt." Gurglemeal is a further misinterpretation of it
* The main theme is a sped-up and reversed version of Sonic.exe's theme. This theme, titled "The Power of Atom" in the OST release, would return various times throughout the series, serving as the main theme.
	+ The name "The Power of Atom" may be a reference to a similarly-named quest from Fallout 3.
* The music during Smurfblum's section is sped-up and distorted Minecraft soundtrack
* The noise Oiram makes when clicked or collided with is the distorted "SEGA" jingle from Sonic.exe. The sound was previously used in Sackboygame2.exe
* The game was based on a folder on PinkMedic's desktop called "evil smurfs songs," featuring several soundtracks from Minecraft, Angry Birds, and Angry Birds Star Wars, among others, sped-up to the maximum value in Audacity. The main music in the game was made with the same effect as the other songs in the folder, and a slightly slowed version of one of the songs was used for Smurfblum's submarine.
