Fast-Paced RTS “Jelly Troops” Oozes onto Switch in 2025, PC Playtest March 6
TOKYO — March 5, 2025 — Jelly Troops, the lightning-fast pick-up-and-play RTS for everyone developed by Nukenin LLC and published by Phoenixx Inc (and winner of Bandai Namco Studios’ 2nd GYAAR Studio Indie Game Contest), brings skirmishing slimes to the Nintendo Switch eShop in 2025. Go hands-on with the latest balance updates during this weekend’s playtest on PC via Steam beginning Thursday, March 6th at 5 PM PST.
Resource management? Nope. Complex species with hyper-specific unit matchups? Negative. Complicated maps with one-off advantages? *Un-check*. Outsmarting the enemy by concocting satisfyingly slimy strategies in highly-replayable, rock-paper-scissors style battles? Jell yeah! Yes, yes, and yes.
Jelly Troops whittles down complex RTS gameplay to its core elements. Outnumber, outwit, and outscore opponents by performing three basic tasks: grow a gelatinous army of slimes, redirect advancing enemies with clever wall placement, and capture flags to score.
Move quick and think fast: each match can end in a flash if not careful. Go all-in on brute force, railroad enemies into traveling long distances to reach the flag, and sneak through fog-of-war for clandestine capture. Win three matches to be crowned the victor.
Join the Discord and predict the Jelly Troops Japan Championship winner before Saturday, March 8th at 7:45 PM PST for the chance to win a Steam gift card with 500 points. Enjoy guest appearances during the tournament from Jelly Troops developer waken, eSports commentator Shohei Taguchi, voice actress Yuu Shinohara, and streaming group Indie Life Streamers.
“Jelly Troops’ development process continues on a firm foundation of community feedback,” said waken, solo developer at Nukenin LLC. “Previous playtests have informed development, and the next iteration is ready for another feedback gauntlet. Please try out the latest version on Steam. We also look forward to further testing with attendees at TOKYO INDIE GAMES SUMMIT!”
