TOKYO — Feb 7, 2025 — Jelly Troops, the lightning-fast pick-up-and-play RTS for everyone developed by solo developer Nukenin LLC and published by Phoenixx Inc (and prizewinner of Bandai Namco Studios' 2nd GYAAR Studio Indie Game Contest), sparks rivalries with the addition of offline split-screen matches in the upcoming playtest running Monday, Feb. 10th at 10AM PST until Monday, Feb. 17th at 10AM PST.

Assemble a team of squishy, gooey golems and charge into fast-paced battles where victory hinges on clever tactics, smart positioning, and a touch of deception. With no resources to manage or complicated matchups to navigate, a satisfying battle of wits awaits as commanders calculate a plan to dominate the map.

Build an army of charming slimes to overwhelm foes with brute force, use strategically placed walls to control enemy movement, and seize flags located in hotly contested zones on the map. Opt for a tailored approach by focusing on a single dominant strength, or blend a mix of strategies to keep your opponents guessing.

Don’t be fooled by the cartoonish, cutesy art style — Jelly Troops’ deceptively simple appearance is contrasted by its easy-to-learn, hard-to-master gameplay that offers endless replayability. Fine-tune formidable battle plans against friends in split-screen mode, or test skills online against rival commanders from around the world.

“Nothing beats the thrill of battling your opponent sitting next to you, and screen-watching can add another layer of deception to gameplay,” said waken, solo developer at Nukenin LLC. “Many thanks to our community for providing valuable feedback during the first two playtests. We look forward to hearing from player duos during Steam Couch Co-Op Fest!”

Jelly Troops arrives on PC via Steam in 2025. For more information, please follow the official Nukenin LLC Twitter / X account, join the official Jelly Troops Discord, and follow Phoenixx on X / Twitter, and YouTube.
