An expanded "Grannie Edition" with new levels was released for PC (Platform) on August 30, 2012. The 20 Grannie Edition bonus levels were later made available as free DLC for the 3DS eShop version. On September 13 2012, Renegade Kid announced that Mutant Mudds Deluxe Edition would be coming to the Wii U (Platform) eShop.
Mutant Mudds emphasizes 2D platforming that often involves near-pixel-perfect precision and timing. The player can jump further "into the screen" or "out of the screen" with the use of specifically-placed jump pads within the levels. This mechanic allows the level design to play with players' perception of what platforms, enemies, and items can or cannot be reached.
Mutant Mudds was originally shown off at E3 2009 as "Maximillian and the Rise of the Mutant Mudds". A video of gameplay footage viewable on YouTube shows the game taking place in an entirely polygonal world with 3D gameplay utilizing an over-the-shoulder third-person view. The player could zoom in to a near-first person view and utilize real-time aiming (presumably with the touch screen). The weapon of choice was a water cannon.
