Details

Overview

Shot Up: Turtle Gun Jump is a 2D precision platformer from DuckEgg Games, released on October 29, 2026. The core twist: there is no jump button.

Instead, your gun's recoil is your only means of ascent. Every shot pushes you in the opposite direction, turning each trigger pull into a calculated leap.

This single mechanic transforms the familiar platforming formula into a tense, physics-driven climb.

Highlights

Recoil-Based Movement – Aim carefully, because every bullet propels you. Manage ammo, time reloads, and find the perfect angle to keep rising through a vertical world.
Deadly Platforms – Bouncing pads, crumbling floors, slippery ice, and conveyor belts all demand precise landings. One wrong step can end your run.
Augment System – Collect augments as you ascend to shape your build. Stack health upgrades and other enhancements to survive increasingly dangerous heights.

Who It's For

If you enjoy precision platformers that reward careful planning and quick reflexes, this game will test your patience and skill. The Souls-like tag hints at a challenging experience, while the casual and action tags suggest it remains approachable.

Single-player only, with family sharing supported, it's a focused solo adventure for players who like mastering a unique movement system.
