Action adventure with a lot of shooting, platform jumping and a strong retro atmosphere, inspired by old console games.
Controls/Instructions:
Mouse to navigate menus. Up/Down arrows -or W/S- : jump up and down platforms; Z or SPACE : shoot -requires weapon unlock- ; X : ultimate shoot -requires weapon upgrades- ; C/V : change weapon -requires weapon unlock-
I think this actually quite a good game. Challenging and tricky at some points, but unlocking the gun shop isn't actually that hard. Controls are simple and require a bit of good reactions, but if even I can manage it, others can, too Really, think it's quite solid. 3/5 stars
As I've said before, I'm not a big fan of the retro-style old-school graphics and sounds. So you will not be surprised to know that I didn't enjoy this game.
I'll sum it up like this - press the up key or the down key to move. Yes that's all you can do, until you unlock the guns. See the comments fergus made about trying to do that.
gun shop opens with 9 beers but you have to have completed the first of the runs to get to that gun-shop character. then you can select and purchase a shotgun but you also need to purchase bullets as well and the prices increase incrementally so be aware ,,, not sure when next lever gun is available but it is a rocket launcher, then there are a few more in that place so 4 guns in all and all need purchasing and then arming with expensive bullets. this is a very grinding game, so be prepared to play levels over and over again to get those achievements.
by the way the achievements open new places to explore and may be the way to open new weapons in the shop.
not the best platform game there is and way too fast for me to want to play more than the once. I played just long enough to open the gun shop and then open the new area in a rerun of the first sector.

there is no save function to this so marks drop further because of it.
action game yes, shooter not since gun shop is locked and to unlock it is mission impossible, char runs automatically and player needs to avoid (or kill IF had gun) zombies by moving up or down and collect coins etc, nice 8bit graphs etc.
overall could be nice game if only could buy guns since there are just too many zombies and traps.
