## What is Exit the Gungeon?

Exit the Gungeon is a bullet hell dungeon climber immediately following the adventures of the misfit ‘Gungeoneers’ and their journey for personal absolution in Enter the Gungeon. The Gungeon has become a paradox and is collapsing! Armed with an ever-changing weapon, an insatiable need to loot, and the trusty dodge roll, each of our heroes must ascend and escape via their own unique route of increasingly perilous elevators. Battle against the last and most bitter of the Gundead at a frantic pace, slowing down just long enough to chat with some familiar faces… and a few new ones. Shifting rooms, enemies, bosses, bizarre weapons and items all combine to ensure that no two attempts to Exit the Gungeon are the same.

Also, you can wear hats. Everybody loves hats, and spin-offs, which this game is… of Enter the Gungeon.

### 5/5 — A Great Game All Around

*2022-11-13, version 2.1*

This game is very entertaining, and after having previously played Enter the Gungeon on a different device, I can conclude that y’all who made these games have a knack for puns. And I must respect you for it, as puns are my favorite thing. I wish I had more to say on this amazing game but I can’t remember much, I just like it, the designs of the enemies and characters, the play style, and the mechanics. Would recommend.

### 5/5 — Great rougelike with some bugs

*2022-11-12, version 2.1*

Black hole gun doesn’t pull in enemies like it does in the trailer 
Something I would like is a minigame practice mode where you could play just desert golf, winchesters original game, and helmet kicko. Maybe have an arcade machine in the bar in underbreach unlock after you play all the games and unlock the bar (maybe make it a reference to the house of the gun dead while your at it)

### 4/5 — Needs more guns

*2022-10-27, version 2.1*

I was hoping that they would be an update or two after the game updated a year ago hoping something exciting would happen but the game needs more updates and new features so could you please try to add new features to the game and possibly try to add new characters or guns pls If you would add more guns and characters to the game pls here’s a trinket you should have this trinket allows you to wield two of the same gun you wield instead of one

### 4/5 — Nearly perfect, just one or two minor bugs

*2022-09-09, version 2.1*

This game is great and I have had plenty of fun with it in the little under a month I’ve had it. I would  recommend it to anyone interested in downloading it, as you can easily log multiple hours in it on the go or at home. I only have two problems with it: one: the untitled gun seems to glitch out sometimes and just not fire, making you have to wait for the gun to change while dodging bullets. Two: I believe the achievement for getting bello’s stools might be impossible on my current save file. Despite having 36+ hours on that file and having nearly every other achievement, I haven’t been able to get him to trigger the dialogue to initiate his ‘side quest.’ Other than those two things the game is practically perfect and I have no other complaints.

### 2/5 — This game is super fun.. if i could keep my progress

*2022-06-30, version 2.1*

I am a huge fan of rouge-like games. I have beaten ENTER the gungeon multiple times and different devices. So you can imagine how excited i was to play another gungeon themed game. I was intrigued by the 2D style of this game. When i originally played it my first thoughts were “this game is really easy” which is fine because there is a hard mode. but… i’ve noticed of late that if i ever don't fully finish an entire run and tab out of the game for like 20-30 mins, I will loose the ENTIRE progress of that run only keeping the credits (i think). I understand that this game is shorter and you can beat it pretty quick but honestly, It gets super repetitive, even with all the character options, they all just feel like reskins of eachother. Also the hat collectibles are more of just big distractions and dont add alot to the game (even though it takes multiple runs to even get a single hat sometimes). I dont see these issues ever getting fixed either because its just the game….

Where is the save and quit button? why are the hats so annoying? why is the game so easy/short. It just seems like a throw away game.

### 3/5 — Really enjoy the game but

*2021-12-27, version 2.1*

This game is great, amazing graphics, runs so smooth, but for some reason the moving control seems wonky, it constantly seems to get me killed, sometimes as I’m moving I feel like it stops working completely for a second, I have a 13 Pro Max, so like I said the performance is great, I’m just not understanding why it feels as I cannot move well, the jumping and rolling controls feel fine though, the slow motion makes it slightly easier to plan where you want to go.

### 5/5 — Amazing Game, co-op please?UwU

*2021-07-08, version 2.1*

This is an absolutely amazing game, and I love it very much. I love it so much that I, in fact, want my friends to play it. I love it so much that I want to play it while my friends are playing it. I love it so much I want to play it with my friends while they are playing it. Especially during COVID this would be a great feature and something I would literally pay cash money for, thanks for a great game!

### 5/5 — Best Apple Arcade app out there

*2021-05-05, version 2.1*

Honestly your not going to get anything better than this right now I have played for 27 hours and beat ever charter at least once and unlocked every hat and costume. love the old look and the fast pace and the feeling when you dodge every shot form the boss if so good. Can’t wait to see if we will get more charters in the future

### 2/5 — Confused

*2021-04-24, version 2.1*

I like the gameplay but am lost on how to progress...I go thru the main door to an elevator, kill them all, go to the shop screen with a couple doors, kill everything in both rooms, then I’m just stuck there in the shop, nowhere else to go. I go back to the breach or whatever and everything is the same, do it again but it’s the same. I don’t believe it’s just these 2 rooms and an elevator ride but after searching for an hour I have no idea where else to go. Maybe a bit more instruction on how the heck to play the game. Too bad...it was fun for the 5 minutes it took to beat the 2 rooms I could find.

### 2/5 — Fun game, not user friendly

*2021-04-21, version 2.1*

I’ve played enter the hinge on before so when I saw this game I decided to give it a shot. After loading up the game I was spat in a starting room where I was given some dialog. Considering I have played the game before I decided to skip the tutorial. I then spent the next 15 minutes in that room just trying to figure out how to start the game. I was able to start a run by going into the pause menu of all places. Once I was in a game I couldn’t figure out how to interact with anything so I had to google it. TO INTERACT WITH THIBGS YOU NEED TO SWIPE UP ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN. Since I skipped the tutorial it is very possible I missed this, however it would be a lot more user friendly if there was simply an interact button.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.1 — 2020-11-13

Patch 2.1.0 contains two major features which dramatically impact gameplay. Both of these features were influenced by player feedback, and we’d appreciate further feedback moving forward.
Arsenal Mode: a new toggleable game mode in which weapons will be available as loot as well as for purchase in shops. Any number of these weapons can be held in addition to the Blessed gun, and can be used at any time. These additional carried guns have limited ammunition, which can be replenished by finding ammo pickups (exclusively in Arsenal Mode). This mode was designed to be more reminiscent of Enter the Gungeon’s gun management.
Shop Hubs: Bello’s shop has been expanded and now can be accessed twice per floor, allowing players more choice over when and how to spend their currency. This shop replaces the normal mid-floor room, in addition to its normal appearance after the boss. The shop has several doors to optional combat and NPC rooms that can be explored for loot or skipped. This should result in an overall increase in itemization for players who explore all rooms, as well as providing a source for weapon drops when playing in Arsenal Mode.
 Other New Features:
 A new optional boss, the Glocktopus
 A new NPC, the Ledge Goblin, and her minigame
 As is tradition, several new guns and items
 You can now pet the dog

### 2.0.6 — 2020-04-29

Re-balanced the number of combo points required to reach each combo tier.
Re-balanced numerous specific weapons and items.
Improved display of several languages, notably Polish and Russian.
Fixed many bugs. Thank you for your help and feedback!

### 2.0 — 2020-03-17

Exit the Gungeon's massive update includes new and upgraded rooms, weapons, items, and enemies in a revamped and rebalanced Gungeon teeming with even more danger and challenges.

### 1.1.4 — 2019-10-22
