Gunlock

About this game

I have been developing games and creating pixel art full time for a little over three years now. I have spent a lot of time studying and trying to perfect "game feel" principles. Gunlock is the first installment in what I have dubbed the "mini series." Gunlock is a small but very polished score chasing game with retro gameboy palette pixelart.

• Stomp on enemies in order to increase combo multiplier and reload ammo.
  
• Pick up ammo supplies to fully reload and swap to a random gun.
  
• Gun them enemies down with over a dozen different guns!
  
• Collect coins to purchase more guns and sexy color palettes!
  
• Compete against other players across the Steam leaderboards on 3 different stages!
  
• Defeat 3 Giant bosses!
  
• One hit and you're dead... so don't get hit.

Gunlock was developed by two people:

• Aleksandar Kuzmanovic [MrAmlice] - Coding / Design / Art / SFX
  
• Brian Havey [zminusone] - Music / Additional SFX

  Version 2.0.1.a BUG PAtch FIX

  Quick update all. The latest content update introduced a few bug gameplay bugs that have hopefully been fixed. None of these were game-breaking, but it was just a matter of polish. Another bug was introduced mostly due to the growing player base. If your position is around certain players on the leaderboards who have names which cannot be properly decoded it would throw a game breaking bug. I am hoping this patch has fixed this, it's difficult for me to tell because I would have to have a score that's close to said players... and I have no idea what that score is. Please comment in this thread if you experience such problems, also if you know your score, that would also be invaluable information in tracking down this bug if it persists. Cheers!
