Knock Turtles Down a Peg in Turtle Punch

Ever looked at a turtle and thought it needed a good punch in the face?

Ever looked at a turtle and thought it needed a good punch in the face? Finnish studio Exoskeleton Games has, which is why they just released their free arcade browser game, Turtle Punch .

The aim of the game is to teach turtles a lesson, and also control a spinning ball with four paddles. The ball is then set on fire and whacked at the turtles. Each turtle destroyed earns points, and higher scores are possible by keeping the fire going and getting a combo. Losing the ball means game over, and with each hit of the ball, it speeds up. The turtles also try to distract with jokes, while other creatures, both friend and foe, occasionally show up to help or hinder. High scores can be viewed globally, by country, or by ball, offering a few ways for gamers to find their name at the top of at least one leaderboard.

It is possible to collect new balls and compete for the top of the leaderboard, but gamers will have to register an account to do so. However, only a username, password, and home country is needed, so it’s recommended by Exoskeleton for the full Turtle Punch experience. Turtle-punching gamers can also expect regular updates, bringing new balls, new jokes, and new sea creatures to befriend or avoid.

It’s worth noting that Exoskeleton Games actually loves turtles, so no turtles were harmed in the making of this game. As Turtle Punch is a free browser game, those interested can head over and play the game now.
