About
Galactic Thunderdome is a platform brawler about fighting in a dynamic, chaotic, physics-based world. With a vast selection of diverse items, a cast of unique characters, and a variety of game modes, GTD is a monumental playground of cartoonish havoc built upon a foundation of simulated physics.
Play with or against your friends across 45+ levels with 85 items in one of several game modes:
Battle your friends in classic Deathmatch & Team Deathmatch modes
Race each other to escape with the golden idol in Treasure Hunt
Hold the line and survive together against an endless horde in Last Stand
Prove your mettle by conquering the two single-player Gauntlets
It is no easy feat to bend the chaos to your will and distill victory from the gnarly havoc of the Thunderdome, but it is your fate and duty as a Galactic Combatant to tame the mayhem or die trying!

Combatants arrive from all corners of the galaxy and all epochs of time to compete in a variety of harrowing events in an effort to become the Galactic Thunder Champion and bring glory to their cosmic homelands, while their televised deeds in the Thunderdome are broadcast into every living room in the celestial realm.

I found the game to be absolutely engaging, with its 2D animation being particularly impressive. The mechanics, textures, and effects are unbelievably well-executed for a 2D game. I ended up playing for three hours straight without even noticing the time go by! Initially, it was a bit challenging to control my character and win battles, but after two hours, I got the hang of all the movements. Swapping between different guns became really fun, especially with the wide variety of choices available. The tutorial section I found it still hard but still its fun ! nice job
Most multiplayer fun I've had since Gang Beasts. The physics engine is insane and things can get very chaotic very quickly, but never to the point where it's completely out of your control (ala Smash Bros 8 players). My friends consistently kicked my ass which indicates there is indeed skill involved in mastering the combat. The special abilities are cool (my favourite is the Time Snap) and make for some wacky and clever kills. Best played with a controller but mouse and keyboard feel good too. This just take me back to the that golden age of multiplayer couch gaming.
Great fighting game. Every fight feels unique and engaging with the roster of weapons and characters available. It is easy to get into and a lot of mechanics to master. I recommend playing with friends.
A really fun game to play with your friends. Love the physics and environmental kills. Nothing is more fun than switching gravity and crushing your friend's skull with a shelving unit that flies to the top of the map or shooting the rocks on the ceiling and have them decimate your enemies. A big variety of maps and character abilities that each have their own niche and can change the way you play each game keeps it feeling fresh. I recommend it to anyone looking for a game to kill some hours with some friends and enjoys games like duck game or small arms(does anyone remember this game on Xbox 360?)
This is one of the best party games I've played in a while. I usually don't write reviews but I had to much fun playing this. The controls are tight and responsive for the fast pace gameplay. When you connect with the perfect shot or time the anchor just right its so satisfying. I would recommend this to anyone who likes party beat-em-up type of games
