### 5/5 — Puzzle Gun Game

*2026-08-30, version 1.1.6*

It took me over a year to realize this is probably pronounced as GUN-show

Anyway, I literally played this like every day. It’s very interesting puzzle gun game with power level ups that you get to choose.  

The only thing I don’t like about it is the boss kind of sucks. He has a completely different pattern than the rest of the enemies. And a lot of your talents that you gained while leveling up don’t help you at all on the last level.

It’s like the boss was an afterthought   

I tend to play the randomized challenges that have no boss.  Just more and more enemies. 

5 stars

### 4/5 — Fun game

*2026-08-27, version 1.1.6*

Great stuff. Steep but short learning curve and a fair bit of replay value. Not cheap for current level of variety though - but has potential for so many different directions it could go in and I just hope the devs build this out!

### 4/5 — Customisation

*2026-08-22, version 1.1.6*

The game it’s self is fun but I think some character customisation would be a nice addition, ones you can get for completing challenges, ect

### 4/5 — Good game but difficult and plagued by unfair deaths

*2026-08-14, version 1.1.6*

This is a difficult game to understand at first, and when you do understand it, there are still a lot of situations that are random or just plain old bugs, especially noticeable at the harder levels. This tarnishes the otherwise fun experience, good gameplay and excellent music.

### 5/5 — good

*2026-08-08, version 1.1.6*

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-08-01, version 1.1.6*

The game is just perfect. It’s unique. It’s fun. And you don’t NEED to pay.

### 2/5 — That’s it?

*2026-07-29, version 1.1.6*

That’s the game?

### 1/5 — Eh.

*2026-07-18, version 1.1.6*

GUNCHO is bad, very boring and confusing.
