Become superior and destroy EVERYTHING this summer!
Cologne, May 27, 2021 – Headup announces Gigapocalypse for PC, and the collaboration with solo-developer Goody Gameworks. Gigapocalypse is a 2D pixel art destruction game in which you can relive your childhood memories! Every fan of the early days’ video game classic “Rampage”, and also of “Godzilla” and “King Kong”, should pay attention now:
As a giant Kaijū-inspired monster – the so-called “Gigas” – you’re going to leave a pixelated trail of destruction in a variety of differently themed locations, accompanied by pumping heavy metal songs to make sure your destruction comes in style.
Try – die – repeat: With each run your Giga will become more powerful until you reach the boss enemy in each location. The further you get in a level and the more you destroy the more mutation points you will get. Use the mutation points to upgrade your Giga with powerful mutations, skills, skins or even up to five cute yet evil pets at the same time which accompany you on your journey. You can even take care of your Giga in Tamagotchi-style mini games and decorate your Giga´s “home” with cool stuff that will also improve your Giga and make them more menacing.
Gigapocalypse will be released into Steam Early Access in summer 2021. The full game will feature nine different Gigas, each with their unique distinctive abilities and six beautifully detailed pixel style locations based on earth’s historical and future timeline.
You can try a demo of Gigapocalypse at the Steam Next Fest on June 16th. Wishlist now on Steam!
Also, feel free to check out the game’s Twitter page and discuss with the developer on Discord.
