The jelly invasion has begun. Jelly Troops, the lightning-fast PvP action strategy game where wizards sling armies of slimes at each other, is out now on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam for $8.99. Even better, it’s launching with a limited-time sale running until 1 October on Steam and 7 October on Switch.
Slimy Soldiers, Sticky Strategies
At first glance, Jelly Troops looks like chaos in candy form – but don’t be fooled. Beneath the bouncy exterior sits a surprisingly sharp strategy game. Here’s the gooey rundown:
- Start with three little slime soldiers and grow your army by harvesting Magic Fruits.
- Send Jellies on missions – harvesting, defending, flag-snatching – and watch teamwork speed up every task.
- Outwit rivals by sneaking behind enemy lines or overwhelm them with sheer numbers.
- Beware the towering Golems that can flatten anything in their path, unless you’re clever enough to turn them into your own blunt instruments.
- Grab power-ups like lightning strikes, time bombs, invisibility cloaks, and even recruitable Golems to swing the fight in your favour.
Whether you’re defending your flag with a wall of goo or launching a sticky blitz, every match comes down to those split-second calls.
Local Fun or Online Jelly Carnage
Jelly Troops comes stacked with split-screen multiplayer for chaotic couch sessions, plus random and private online battles if you’d rather test your slime command skills worldwide.
And to celebrate launch week, the dev is hosting a Launch Battle Party every night at 9pm across all time zones. Jump in, take on the developer, and share your best moments with #JellyTroops on X for a chance to snag one of ten Steam keys.
Developer’s Take
“Jelly Troops might seem cute on the outside, but don’t underestimate the strategic variety hiding underneath,” says Waken, the solo developer behind the project. “This has been a passion project for some time, and I can’t wait to see what strategies players cook up.”
So, are you ready to command your slimy squad, capture some flags, and outwit rival jelly generals? The battlefield is open.
