Weird Dog Games LLC today announced GigaTurtles, a top-down PvP party game where players take control of cannon-wielding turtles in fast, explosive multiplayer mayhem. With a bold street-art visual style and an upgrade system that keeps every match unpredictable, GigaTurtles aims to be the next must-have party game for couch competitive nights.
About the Game
GigaTurtles drops players into chaotic arenas where everything is a weapon. Bullets explode. Dashes kill. Even the environment is deadly — shove blocks across the arena to squash unsuspecting opponents. The controls are deliberately simple (two sticks and two triggers), making GigaTurtles easy to pick up but endlessly deep to master.
Central to the experience is the game’s comeback-driven upgrade system. Only the losers of each round get to choose a permanent upgrade, meaning the gap between the best and worst player at the table is always closing. Players can go wide, stacking multiple upgrades for unpredictable combos, or go deep, investing into a single upgrade until it becomes absurdly powerful. The results speak for themselves: rapid-fire homing bullets that phase through walls, armies of laser-equipped turtle clones, or a sword so comically oversized it dominates the entire arena.
Key Features
- Pick-Up-and-Play Controls – Two sticks and two triggers. Left hand moves, right hand shoots. Anyone can jump in!
- Multiple Ways to Flatten your Friends – Snipe friends with exploding projectiles, ram them with dash attacks, or shove blocks into them to flatten their little turtle bodies.
- Fancy Movement – Use the recoil from your cannon to reposition, gap-close, and dodge, adding a layer of mechanical depth beneath the chaos.
- Can’t Beat That One Friend? – Only the losers of a round get to pick upgrades, so eventually, anyone should be able to win… right?
