About Way of the Turtle
In this charming adventure platformer, join two turtles on their journey to reunite stranded on a tropical island in the middle of nowhere. An island not so innocent as it might look at first glance.
Cursed by evil magic, corrupting elements of the earth transforming them into vicious monsters and difficult obstacles.
However, not everything on the island is working against you. Become friends with the native gophers that inhabit the island, who will try and help you in your quest to get back home again.
WIELDER OF GREAT POWERS
Evolve your characters by obtaining turtle shells that hold certain powers. The different shells grants you the ability to either attack, break out into a dash or shield yourself from dangerous attacks and hazards.
Different areas can only be ventured while you possess certain powers.
ADVENTURE ON A LARGE TROPICAL ISLAND

Play in shorter sessions or really sink your teeth into it if you want.
YOU ARE IN CONTROL
Smooth and easy-to-use controls working just as well on mobile devices as on other platforms. Simple touch gestures and no on screen buttons to control your character.
ANYONE, Being completely new to games to the more advanced players, will enjoy ‘Way of the Turtle’.
