Guntech 2 is a return of the good old “cave flyer” shoot ’em ups genre. It's a retro-style game where state-of-the-art graphics and visual effects are combined with classic gameplay. It’s a twin-stick shooter influenced by such classics as Thrust, Oids, Geometry Wars, and Asteroids. Guntech 2 is a twin-stick shooter where you use the left stick to steer and thrust your ship, and the right stick to control the railgun. Your ship has a total of three different weapons. The shoulder buttons fire the two additional, more powerful weapons which always fire in the direction of your ship's nose. This gives you the ability to shoot any direction using the railgun, with extra firepower when you position your ship towards the enemy. Gameplay Guntech 2 has 5 distinct worlds: Tutorial, Virus, The Dark Worlds, Space Jungle, and Cargo Hauler. Each world has 8 levels plus a boss level at the end. Additionally, there are seasonal levels that are funny and silly little missions themed for seasons like Christmas and Halloween. You can play either in ARCADE or ADVENTURE mode. The adventure mode lets you play any unlocked level, so you can continue conquering the world from where you left off. You have a fresh set of lives for each level. Each level has three different goals. The first is mandatory for passing the levels and will earn you one star. The other level goals will earn you additional stars, and you can try to clear all levels to 3-star results. The arcade mode allows you to choose any world that has been unlocked, but you always start from the first level, trying to make it to the end. You have a set of lives that doesn't reset for each level, and the game is over when you run out of lives. In the arcade mode, you play for score and a leaderboard position. Weapons There are 20 different weapons. You get the initial weapons when the game starts, and you can earn more by playing. The weapons have different characteristics and it's up to you to figure out which works best for your playing style, and for any particular level. You can acquire new weapons between levels, but you can switch freely between the owned weapons during the gameplay. Upland Option With the new Upland integration, you can compete against other Upland players and earn exciting prizes in UPX or digital collectibles based on your weekly and monthly scores. Just activate the Upland integration (requires an Upland account – http://www.upland.me/, buy a Tournament Pass, and you're ready to go! Compatibility Plays great on iOS, iPadOS and macOS for Apple Silicon processors (M1, M2, M3)

Pilot a deep-core extraction rover into the crust of Kerath-9 and dig for everything it's worth. Every dive is a fresh, procedurally generated descent. Strike rich ore, dodge collapsing tunnels, fight what lives in the dark, and claw back to the surface to sell, upgrade, and push deeper — because down here, death is permanent and the pressure never stops. DeepDriller is a gold-class roguelite miner built for one more dive. THE DIVE LOOP Surface, dive, surface-or-die, upgrade, go deeper. Six depth zones, fifteen ores, and a continuous shaft that regenerates every run. The deeper you go, the richer — and the deadlier — it gets. UPGRADE YOUR ROVER Eight upgrade slots: drill, hull, engine, fuel, cargo, sensor, thermal, and auto-turret weapon. Tier up from a stock rover into a void-piercing machine. Your loadout shows on the rover — watch it change as you spend. FIGHT AND SURVIVE Past a certain depth you're not alone. Auto-turrets deploy from the hull and open fire when hostile drones and ancient Veth constructs close in. Then there's the planet itself: gas pockets, lava veins, aquifers, void resonance, gravity anomalies, and ceiling collapses, all hunting your hull. GO DEEPER FOR RARER ORE The richest seams are the most dangerous. Bank cumulative depth to unlock new zones, chase contracts, and decide every dive: cash out safe, or risk it all for one more vein. CLIMB THE LEADERBOARDS Two global Game Center boards: an Open board for total power, and Raw Talent — depth normalized to a stock rig, so skill beats spending. Take on the shared Daily Dive and chase the top of the charts. UNCOVER THE VETH Something pre-human is buried in the dark. Recover artifacts and data cores, intercept faction transmissions, and piece together what AXIOM doesn't want found. RESUPPLY BEACONS Out of fuel and deep in the red? Deploy a Beacon to secure your haul or get back in the fight. Earn them by playing; buy more only if you want to. No ads. No tracking. Game Center leaderboards and achievements. iCloud save across your devices. How deep can you get?
