About this game
Gunboat Goddamn! Get ready to shoot quickly, dodge even faster, and get to blasting in a chaotic 2D side-scrolling shoot ‘em up featuring guns, a whole boatload of freakin’ enemies, and rad tricks. It’s up to you to get the hull out of this unknown place to get back to the Citadel in the sky. Here’s to hoping you’ve got a plan to go with that Gunboat!
Master 100’s of frantic ‘just one more go’ missions as you hone your skills to become the all-powerful Gunboat God. Return with new weapons, abilities, and quick fingers to push your high score ever higher.
What would a Gunboat be without… GUNS! Good job you’re surrounded by water because you’ve got a hell of a lot of FIREPOWER!
Cannons, lasers, bombs and… [checks notes] THE VAPORISER?! Expand and upgrade your artillery in multiple ways including unique super moves, bigger explosions, and harder-hitting shots.
What the hell is that?! Looks like the depths of the ocean contain great evils, thankfully you’ve got greater artillery.
Take on challenging bosses in multi-phase battles that put your surfing, shooting, and smashing skills to the ultimate test. It’ll take quick control and mastery of your gunboat to put those… things, back where they belong, leagues beneath the surface!
What’s better than shooting stuff? Looking cool while you do it! Dash, crash, and bash enemies who get in your way.
Transform your gunboat on the fly to plunge to new depths and soar to new heights. With mines below the surface and acid rain above, it's up to you to take control of the damn situation, now ain’t the time to buckle under pressure!
It’s dangerous to go alone, thankfully you’ve got Yeti, the best crocodile mechanic and all-round good guy you could ask for!
Aid him on his journey to crank up your Gunboat to the max and you can bet he’ll do his darndest to get you back home.
200+ levels of rootin’ & tootin’ fast & fluid shooting
20+ mission types including Collision Course, Outlast and errr.. Boil?
70 enemy types gunning for your hull
8 different guns to master with their own level-ups
10+ abilities, augments, and powers for your ride
2 player local co-op!
1 talking crocodile!

Gunboat God is out now!
Hi everybody, It's the day I can officially add 'PC game dev' to my LinkedIn profile... I can't believe I'm actually saying it -Gunboat God is FINALLY HERE!!! 6 years in the making! 🎮 This has been such an awesome journey, from starting out as my passion project 6 years ago to getting signed with a publisher and working as a solo dev on my game fulltime... to release day! Thanks so much for sticking with me from the early days, wishlisting, leaving feedback on the playtests/demos, and for just reading this blog. I really appreciate it! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45053696/bf3eff9b1189d15ab881cccc8a6f88f8e543f21d.gif Check out the new launch trailer! 👇 Gunboat God is 25% off for launch! It wouldn't be a proper game launch without a proper discount! You can grab Gunboat God for 25% off for 2 weeks. Smash through enemies and grab a bargain at the same time. 😉 A review would be so appreciated! 🌏 I also wouldn't be a proper indie dev without mentioning Steam reviews! If you do dive into Gunboat God and thrash about with your friendly croc pal, please consider dropping a review. Launch week is a crucial time to get noticed by more players, and reviews are so helpful.

A small heads up! On a small percentage of PCs, the game might seem to be running in slow motion, which is especially confusing if you have a high-end build! It means the game is trying to run on the integrated GPU instead of the dedicated GPU, so try forcing GPU utilisation in Nvidia Control Panel or AMD Software, and you should be all set. Alternatively, some players have reported going from 10 fps to 60 fps after turning off "background blur", or other visual effects, in the options menu. Happy Gunboating! I really hope you enjoy my game, and all fe...Read full article on Community Announcements (Meg)AnnouncementsOfficial
