this game does not deserve the negative reviews it has

[Game_discovery1]

I almost did not play this game because I saw the mostly negative reviews on the store page but it looked cool and it was so cheap I figured what the heck. I am so glad I did not let the reviews deter me because this game was an absolute blast to play and after reading the reviews I simply cannot believe the stupidity of some of the things I saw there.

I am not normally the type of person who will condemn a negative review, but the crticisms of this game that I have read are just silly and need to be discussed in case someone thinking about buying the game visits this forum out of curiousity:

Most of the negative reviews complain of this games diffiiculty. First off, this game is labeled and marketed as a hard game so complaining that it is hard seems pretty stupid to me, it would be like if I bought a point and click game and complained there was not enough action.

Of course some games that are labeled as hard are only hard because they are riddled with cheap deaths and bad control, this game has none of that. The control is spot on and there was not a single time I died in this game where I felt it was due to cheapness or other such nonsense. Whjen you die in this game it is your fault and with a bit of practice none of the levels in this game are extremely difficult.

There have been complaints about the enemies being cheap, the flying birds have been a subject of complaint, but like in any game of this nature, once you learn the patterns they are easy to take down. when I first encountered the birds I died, but once you learn how they circle you taking them down is a breeze. I have also seen complaints about the frogs, which is even sillier. The frog jumps at you and you just walk under him and shoot him when he lands, it literally could not be simpler.

This is a hard game, but you do not need to be a gaming god to beat it and it is nowhere near the hardest game I ever played. The reality of this game is that it is 3 dollars and for such a low price you get an increibly fun, challenging, and decent sized game filled with hidden characters and items to collect. I will write a formal review soon, but I just had to post this on here now because it just seems really unfair that a game advertised as hard is getting negative reviews for being hard.

Thank you man I appreciate your response and review. I also felt it was unfair that people complained about the difficulty and the enemies when in reality it's not as hard as some people were making it out to be. I also tried to explain that to them in responses but apparently I came off as rude which only hindered me further. I will not act like my game is amazing GOTY every year material but for the price and the size of the content you get I felt it was acceptable. I'm taking in all the criticism and trying to learn from it but I appreciate receiving such a positive response in a sea of negativity.

This game is so hard. I stuck at level 3 world 1-1. Damned ducks (or gooses???)...

Just as a hint, take it slow, pick off enemies one at a time if possible, too many enemies can quickly overwhelm you. Also mak sure to collect gems and unlock characters, certain characters will make certain levels much easier

I agree. I don't get why this game is getting all of the hate that it is getting. This is a fun hard (not impossible) game.

Hey guys thanks for the positive support, just wanted to let you know that yesterday I rewrote the controls to Blaster Shooter GunGuy! Using a script that I wrote for my new game "The Narrator is a ♥♥♥♥". This new script allows for full controller support. I'm currently in the process of remaking the menu's for GunGuy! To allow use of a controller, once that's done the update will be released. You can expect it to drop around the time of the Christmas sale, and GunGuy will recieve an 80-90% discount to corresponde with the update.

If you'd like to keep updated with what I'm doing you can follow me here

I'm gonna get the game to support the developer (Plus challenges can be fun?....man I am gonna suck at this xD) I really hate seeing developers get crapped on for making a comment on a review that doesn't involve them bowing down to the players. I WILL SUPPORT YOU AND (maybe) BEAT THIS GAME TO PROVE A POINT

[Groen90]

It's sad when the people blame the game for their own lack of skill, going as far as leaving a bad review... I'm not good at this kind of precision platformers, and I mean I really suck, but I can see how it's not that bad once you practice enough. The controls are perfectly fine, too.

No idea if this topic is alive or not, but is there a way to beat the pirate boss yet or not?

Stay on the right, fire left. Turn to shoot the cannon when you can.

[Arbee Barbakutie]

I finally beat it after your guys tips. Thank you for that! Suggestion, when I was shooting the cannon I could hear a hit marker that I hit something. To most people it would sound the same as just shooting the gun. Could you try to make it where it is a different sound or make the cannon go red when you hit it so players understand that you have to attack the cannon? Good Luck on your game!

Sorry for my bad english. Maybe this game really dont deserve so negative reviews, but if you want to make people like your game, please, do it little more fun and less boring. Game is very boring, typical 8bit platformer, you dont have some interesting or unusual fight mechanic, its just simple shooting without fun.

And the worst - its too hard. I played a 4-5 hours and i try many times, but stuck in haunted levels. I think i can have some fun playing this game some free evenings, but all i get is boring gameplay and absolutely unnecessary hard levels. You can make game little more easier. I cant say that i like this game, i want to, but i cant. Sorry. Good luck in your new projects

Of course if you read the store page you would have seen it advertised as hard so I don't know why you are surprised that it is hard.

[Arbee Barbakutie]

The game is not as hard as people say it is, if games have bad controls deal with it because if the Dev can do, so can all of us. I'm almost done with the game like on world 6 which is on the moon. If you just practice the levels you'll be fine and you gotta take your time sometimes.

agreed, if you rush blindly through some of the later levels you will get overwhelmed but if you take your time the levels become far easier to deal with. The game is challenging but not nearly as hard as many people say it is
