## What is Gunslugs?

A chaotic arcade action platformer. Randomized levels and perma-death will keep you on your toes as you try to unlock your Gunslugs buddies and defeat the Black Duck Army. Take it one world at a time, and see if you can defeat the evil Hell boss

Evil army? check! Explosions, chaos, and screen-shakes? check! A group of familiar looking heroes? check!
Welcome to Gunslugs!

Fight the evil Black Duck army as they try to take over the planet using their technology and a huge collection of foot-soldiers.
You’ll get to fight on plane yards, jungles, arctica, egypt and finally the gates of Hell. Drive tanks, fly jetpacks and shoot eggs out of a chicken-gun… ..!

 

Gunslugs is a fast paced run and jump game with procedurally generated levels and a rogue-like permadeath element. You get one live, and the only way
you can extend that is by running into the Voodoo priest selling continue statues.

Unlock the roster of Gunslugs heroes as you go, and use them to advance your way to the gates of Hell to defeat the final boss.

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2025-01-29*

I played this as a kid and it is the only good game left. Nt many classics are still on the App Store, get it while you can.

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2023-01-11*

Don't install 3.3.0 - the game will randomly pause & quit to the main menu, making it effectively unplayable. (Leaderboards and achievements are still broken, too, but they don't really matter.) Don't expect a fix, either. The game's more likely to be left in its broken state until it's removed from the app store just like INC and Gk2 were.

### 5/5 — I Love This Game’s

*2020-03-15*

This Game Is Act Like Pac-Man & MegaMan Since 1990

### 1/5 — iPhone 4 ios 7.1.2

*2018-02-13*

The game won't work on iPhone 4

### 5/5 — Bon jeu

*2017-10-28*

Bon jeu 8 bit retro style acec commandes très réactives. Fonctionne aussi sur les anciens ipad 2.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2017-01-06*

This game is crazy good.
Highly recommended.
Kudos to the developers.

### 3/5 — Nice, but...

*2016-10-21*

Game is God by itself, but for 2,5 years developers haven't added yet any new levels.

### 5/5 — Gunslugs

*2016-02-21*

OrangePixel is awesome. If you haven't gotten into their offerings in the AppStore, you should REALLY consider checking them out. Anyway, another great iOS game getting updated so it can be taken into the future. It's great knowing that the developers have been around for a while, and plan on staying here for a while as well. Gunslugs is more of a run'n'gun with mini-games (optional mini-games, which are still run'n'gun based) throughout the game, that usually involve some quick thinking. It's a completely separate beast when compared to Gunslugs 2, so even if you have the 2nd one, the first one is still well worth checking out. Personally, I prefer this one to the sequel. But that's just preferance. They're both fantastic games that I wholeheartedly recommend.

### 5/5 — Gunslugs

*2015-02-03*

This game is so exciting! It combines all of the elements to make a great game, and it's even better with joypad support! Thank you for keeping joypad in this game! If you like shooting, great music, and pixelated graphics, this is the game for you!

### 5/5 — Amazing game!

*2014-10-29*

Action all the time! Great soundtrack, beautiful style, nostalgic... Everything we need to have fun!!! Congratulations!!!
