About the Game

Mass destruction and newt goodness awaits you in Volcanewt!

Play as the Volcanewt, a volcanic salamander ready to destroy the World Wide Defense Force(WWDF) for leeching off his volcanic energy. In this action packed city destruction game, you go across the 3 Hawiwi Islands, a tropical archipelago that on any other day would be a tropical paradise to visit. These three islands are Beginners Bay, a tourist hotspot where our newt makes their humble beginnings, to Hawiwi Resort, a beautiful resort with a more mustered militia to defend against the Volcanewt, to Mamba Metropolis, a metropolis that also acts as the WWDF's main headquarters.

In Volcanewt, to complete each level you must fill out your destruction meter, a tool to determine how much of the city you have annihilated, and claim back your thermal energy from the clusters of the WWDF in the form of destroying powerplants. Doing so will further unlock the Volcanewt's dormant powers.
These powers consist of a thermally powered charge, a fireball projectile, and a beam for destruction on a massive scale.

The WWDF won't allow their cities to be destroyed that easily though, as they droves of soldiers to fend you off, and the creations of General Hugh Gexplosion to further halt the Volcanewt's Advance.

Play as the massive Volcanewt, destroy the cities to progress, and unlock abilities that will aid in the total destruction of the WWDF!
