GUNGUNGUN

GUNGUNGUN is self-described as “a frantic bullet filled 2D arcade arena shooter.” Although the core gameplay is fun, the overall scope of game is rather limited. Yet if you are in the mood for frantic fun in a small package, this game might just be what you’re looking for. With a title like “GUNGUNGUN,” be ready for a fusillade of fun as you shoot, dodge and rack up a bounty in this title. [h1]STORY[/h1] The Prologue is both a tutorial and the only real story bit you will ever receive in the game. The female protagonist (whom I’ve grown to call GIRLGIRLGIRL) decides to steal from a group of presumed bandits but is caught in the act. The bandits give chase as she scrambles aboard a nearby train to escape her pursuers. This is a just framing device to explain the enemies and level theming. [h1]GAMEPLAY[/h1] In this game, its all about the guns and shooting. There are 8 different guns to collect and use, ranging from pistols to even a heavy-duty rifle. You start out wi...

I got the opportunity to try this out at PAX East, and I'm glad I did-- I found a fun game, I learned about a sale price, and I was able to pick up a copy for myself. The game is very straightforward and fairly easy to pick up, and leaves no illusions as to what you're supposed to do. You shoot things. You shoot the shit out of things, and you do it [i]fast[/i]. I tend to shy away from shoot-em-up platformers out of habit, but this is honestly a fun one. Now, I don't even have half an hour logged in this-- but it took even less time to see what the game has to offer. It's at this point where I note that this is, as stated, Early Access, so I wasn't expecting this to be a 10-hour playthrough. It's fast-paced, quick restart, high octane arcade gameplay. The "Bounty" system (the coin payout at the end of a match) is a little slow at first, but if you rack up good combos and dedicate a few minutes, you'll get thousands. I'm not kidding-- thousands. And at the moment, the only thing to do ...

A quick and fast-paced 2D shooter with randomly-generated arenas and a ton of different guns to massacre hordes of enemies with. The gunplay looks and feels great, and building up combos feels very rewarding and gives you an incentive to keep a killstreak going as you dodge your way around. While there isn't a ton of content to be had here at the moment, with only a few enemy types and one game mode, GUNGUNGUN will be sure to fill that need for Contra-like gameplay for you and a friend.

Takes you back to the days when Mom forced you to go do laundry with her in the laundrymat and you found yourself playing arcade machines trying to beat your highscore. GUNGUNGUN is mindless fun that makes you want to stay alive for as long as possible. What feels like 10 minutes turns out only to be less than 3 minutes, and what feels like hours is only actual 6 two-minute rounds. As time elaspses, the amount of enemies increase, making it harder to keep track of who is shooting, when to jump, and who you should be shooting to keep your combo higher. You just get so into the action that you eventually start making dumb mistakes that could've been avoided. For a game that was just released, it seems to have everything in order with only minor kinks that don't completely ruin the gameplay, but should be looked into. -Pressing ESC will take you to the main menu and end your game -Double jumping removes your cosmetic But for a game I snazzed for only $3.99 (on sale), very fun.

This is a simple, straightforward little game. It's fun and it packs a punch. The action picks up quickly and before you know it you're running and jumping like a mad (wo)man shooting at anything that moves. I think my favorite part of this game is shooting in midair. Anywhere becomes a vantage point to rain down fire on enemies while also leaving yourself exposed. It adds another of level of skill to the game. If you want to see this game grow, please try it out for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Should be called FunFunFun! Great game, really good tactile feedback, and super nice retro graphic feel!

this game is a wonderful throwback to retro side scrolling shooters. has beautiful animation. seeing the attention to detail with the various gun animations. kawaii graphics. a classic highscore mechanism. fantastic music. humor and fun great game!

A real love letter to the days of Contra and side scroll shoot 'em ups; Gungungun delivers a simple yet effective measure of frantic, arcady action. Detailed sprite animations plus the plethora of firearms to use create fun, fast-paced gameplay centeralized upon twitch reflexes and adept use of mobility. If you have had a Run 'n Gun itch, this debut title from Mystery Egg Games is well worth your time.

This is a game where there's Guns except three times. You are this one lady that nobody likes, you'll know this because everyone wants her dead. So you make them dead first. If you're expecting super intricate in-depth gameplay and lore this is not your game, it is an arcade-style shooter where you aim for the high score. And hats. The hats are entertaining. Read the flavor text that appears when you put them on! There's still a lot left to be added, so this isn't all you're getting so far. I recommend it and I bought it to support the devs. P.S. You can use Xbox controllers but I prefer mouse and keyboard.

Very fun game. Short sessions which is great for me. Fun, repeatable gameplay. Also there's hats which makes it instantly 10/10 though I must say the Halo hat is aggressively priced. I hope that my positive review will attract the attention of the devs so that they can discount the Halo hat or maybe just give it to me for free that would be good too.
