![]() ![]() And just when you think you’ve got everything locked down… the difficulty ramps up once more. Therefore, you need to constantly keep moving, while collecting resources, while also keeping your gun’s propulsion steady. Things become even more complicated as stopping, or getting stuck near an obstacle, will also result in death as the wall (aka certain demise) closes in behind you. Staying in the middle? Not exactly the easiest chore. This is because in the opening levels of RunGunJumpGun, the sweet spot is somewhere around the middle. The movement is akin to the addictive mobile game, Flappy Bird. Obviously, you cannot hold the shift key indefinitely, as many of the obstacles you’ll encounter reside on the ceiling above you. The tutorials tell you not to “tap” the shift key, yet this is a bit of soft misdirection. Holding the shift button will launch your character up towards the ceiling, and he’ll continue to zoom upwards until he hits an obstacle and dies, or until you release the shift key. The first thing the game tasks you with learning is the art of properly using your gun jetpack-style. If you think this stripped-down button configuration simplifies things, you’re dead wrong. ![]() There are only two buttons on your keyboard that you have to worry about left shift to propel yourself through the air, and right shift to shoot. In that sense, RunGunJumpGun is equal parts strategy, timing, and memory based. Each of these different levels contain unique (and increasingly difficult), dangers that you will have to train yourself to avoid in order to reach the end. ![]() Your trusty gun has unlimited ammo, and acts as sort of a “jetpack” to help you traverse a wide variety of different levels. To help you in your quest, you’re given a gigantic gun. Your goal is to collect minerals called " Atomiks" all while avoiding the countless perils that surround you (can't touch this). In the game, you are are a lone man wandering through space interacting with a host of strange alien lifeforms. This sci-fi indie platformer raises the difficulty bar higher than you could ever imagine, while still managing to be thrillingly enjoyable. Fans of brutally difficult games will find a lot to love in RunGunJumpGun. ![]()
