About the game

Jet Gunner is a 2D platform action indie game that's full of Nestalgia. Full of action, gunfights, bosses and explosions so if you're into the whole 8-Bit vibe you should love this. From the sound, to the graphics to the flicker, this should pay tribute to those classic hard as nails, run 'n' gun games. Hopefully this should wet your appetite for re-living the good ol' days.

I've got kind of my own little steam game based retro console going on my alienware. If it were a real console, I couldn't be happier with the launch line up, and Jet Gunner rounds things out so nicely with amazing run and gun platformer action - the first of its kind that really feels like an NES game but with none of the things that make going back to that console sometimes a little disappointing.

The person that made this doens't fully understand how to make a run-'n'-gun style of game but does seem to understand the components that WOULD make a good one. Honestly, it makes for a rather dull experience overall. Let's start from the beginning so we can get an idea of what's wrong with it: 1) Enemy placement - Enemies are often placed in areas that aren't well thought out (or perhaps they are, but for the…
