My favourite part: Every time you are on the main menu they literally say GUNBRELLA with a badass funny voice. You can literally spam it just by going to options and back to the title. It's a silly little thing but it literally made me laugh because its just so goofy.

Ive had this game on my radar for ages, it gives me that old Flash vibe similar to Nitrome games, AKA my childhood. Thanks for the review!

Ah yea I see what you mean. Name is also fairly similar to Gunbrick, one of their titles

Nitrome...that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. I still remember the little note that plays whenever you open one of its games.

1:13 Nice to see someone draw attention to how terrible that "scrolling" selection system is. Unless you can freeze time while scrolling through the options, a game designer can either use that sort of system for items/spells/etc, or actually expect me to use items/spells/etc, but it's one or the other. I much, much MUCH prefer a system that gives each slot a dedicated button combo of some sort.

There are several missteps, but they feel lousy in the context of such a solid movement / core gameplay concept and such great music. When you do a few things too well, the things you only do slightly poorly look really shit in comparison, and that's the case in this game. I wish everything about it was excellent, but sadly only several aspects of it are. It feels like given some more funding or perhaps a more experienced dev team it could have really flowered into something incredible, but as is it's just pretty good. Definitely had a fun time playing it, just got my hopes up a bit too much.

fast paced movement-focused metroidvania. it was super fun but kinda lacking on difficulty, i only died about 2-3 times on some bosses and just plain no hit others, but the exploration is top notch! the enemies are super fun to fight against, especially the ones in the shipping facility! i lived comboing different weapons together like spamming sticky bombs and then rushing someone with saw blades at the same time and i destroy bosses! i also love the dialouge and story to this game! it was perfectly crafted to be funny, yet engaging at the same time!

I hope these developers stick around, this game might be shabby, but the studio clearly has talent. I think that the next game they release, if they release it, will be incredible

I don’t think this game was made for this reviewer. So much of what makes this experience great is the art style, ambiance, music, sfx, frequently lol writing and INCREDIBLY FUN controls. I’d like to enthusiastically recommend this game to you weirder gamers who like a unique experience and something more artistic. I get the impression that this reviewer didn’t appreciate the parts of this game that are truly outstanding.

Are you given the option to turn off the gore in the game? Follow up question. Who wont purchase this game if it didnt have gore?

@deathryche 9 ай бұрын

You, personally, not being a fan of gore as a design choice does not make that choice bad. Just bad to you. Try not to criticize things that honestly don't need it.

@@deathrychetbf this is a valid question if you want play with young child, or let them have a go. The questions didn't seem like criticisms, but valid curiosity and/or criteria. We might have different sets of criterias, ones doesnt invalidate the other.

@@ForestRaptor but then again if u wanna play with a young child why would you pick a game that requires you to shoot other people. Most children have seen their own blood before so a bunch of red coloured pixels aren’t exactly gonna have much effect on them.
