In there, you’ll spend mutation points on the different offensive and defensive skills, equip some pets for additional perks, or some custom looks that provide perks too. On another screen, you’ll be able to view everything related to mutations and pets.

On another screen, you’ll be able to see the different challenges that can reward you with things like extra mutation points if you complete them, which can be things like destroying a certain number of moving cars. Those skills can be leveled up using skill points that you gain each time your Giga levels up. You’ll also be able to access the Skills menu, where skills are automatically unlocked after gaining a few levels. You’ll be able to pet him, feed him, and sometimes clean up his digestive efforts, all for mutation points, which you also earn from playing through each stage. In this mode, the baby form of your Giga will be in the center of the screen. If you make it through to the end of the stage, you’ll have a boss fight, and if not, you’ll be taken back to your baby form as you enter the management aspect. This meter will refill as you make successful attacks and as you take hits. Apart from your health points, you have another meter that’s generally consumed by your attacks or skills, which is named differently based on your Giga – for example, it was Blight when I played with Annomam and Rage when with Ro’Gath. The Triangle button will be used to activate your currently selected skill, and you’ll be able to cycle between them when you have more with the L1 and R1 buttons. The level automatically moves forward, and you’ll be able to attack with the Cross and Circle button, which will be different depending on who your Giga is. The sidescrolling part is when you are in a city and timeline, which act as the game’s stages.


There are two main aspects to the game, the sidescrolling part and the baby form management. After breaking through a lot of stuff, you enter a time vortex, which Captain Villain is happy to see you do because it will transform you back into baby form, which he feels will help him and his ancestors defeat you. It starts with your Giga, a huge monster that’s about to wreak havoc, trapped… when the prison you are trapped in ends up opening because of a power grid failure. Gigapocalypse by Thunderful Games and Goody Gameworks mixes Kaiju action with roguelite elements for a destruction mayhem experience.
