## What is Side Scroller Game?

Barney is a retro side scroller in the spirit of the 16-bit era: run, jump and shoot your way through ten hand-built desert levels full of traps, monsters and buried treasure.

Five weapons, each with its own feel:

* Slime Gun
* Rail Gun
* Rocket Gun
* Auto Rocket Gun
* Grenade Gun

Collect coins and XP, then spend them in Barney's shop to upgrade your jump, your attack and your defence, or to unlock faster reloads and extra bombs.

FEATURES

* Ten levels laid out on an explorable world map
* Five upgradable weapons
* Hand-drawn pixel art, animated frame by frame
* Coins, XP points and a full upgrade shop
* Checkpoints, so one mistake never costs you the level
* Touch controls designed for landscape play
* Universal: iPhone, iPad and Mac

No timers, no waiting, no interruptions. Just a platformer that plays like the ones you grew up with.
