Sweezy Gunner Reviews

Play this game. It has Sweezy in the title. Ok, in all reality, this game is worth your time. It has crisp controls, it's not overly complicated (you move and shoot... all with 4 keys and 2 mouse buttons. It's great.), and the soundtrack is awesome. The game has a lot of enemies to obliterate, power-ups to collect, and areas to explore, keeping you busy for hours. It has a little something for everyone's taste. The collector will like finding all the items, the completionist will like all the backtracking and collectibles, the sadist will like all the destruction, etc... The areas are well laid out, the enemies pose a decent challenge, and the bosses are the right level of difficulty. If you're looking for a mindless, yet challenging shooter/adventure game, this one is for you. Check it out!

A simple point and click shooter, though this one is more point and hold. +Plenty of upgrades exist throughout this game, though they feel a little subtle at first, the power soon will show itsself. +The enemies become a little redundant, and often feel copied but just harder. +The evironments are wonderful and leave a good feel to the game, while not distracting from the action or becoming confusing with all of the visual stimulus happening. +The soundtrack feels simple and repetitive, but sometimes can be just what you need to get in the zone of all the action. After a certain point in the game, it becomes literally impossible to play without using the shield that becomes availible due to the massive continuous amounts of enemy shots coming from every possible direction. The final boss is a little outrageous as well, I believe he is also impossible to fight without losing health. All in all a wonderful game for it's price, especially if it becomes on sale.

I bought this for 1$, and it was worth it. A great game, with a really, REALLY big world to explore. A few spelling errors/typing errors in the game (sheild -> shield, compelte -> complete), and after defeating the third boss, I had to save, and quit, because I got stuck the next room I entered (to the left of the boss room). If you like game just as Delver, The binding of Isaac, Nuclear throne,... this game is something you might consider buying!

Sweezy Gunner is one of the best twin stick shooters of all time. Great variety of upgrades, enemies, environments and weapons. The Zelda light, dungeon crawler, level design and shops combine to create a truly unique experience in this genre. While the art and audio presentation is somewhat lacking, the fantastic gameplay more than makes up for any shortcomings. This is an absolute must have for fans of the twin stick shooter genre. GG!

I really enjoyed this Game, sadly I lost my save a couple times. The graphics are cute and the music is very good. The difficulty increase with the progress, it never felt too hard. Unlike the challenge mode, which felt way too hard, so i didn't really bothered with it and cheated my way through it.

I really enjoyed this game. Nice graphics..smooth. I was a big fan of Robotron in the 80's, so this seemed like my kinda game. I was right. I'm glad I bought it. Definately would recommend this to any fan of shooters. Quick FPS fingers are a plus++.

this is the first legend of zelda meets a twinstick bullethell in a hand drawn extravaganza. it has a really big overworld map to explore (10x10 if i remember correctly, and that doesnt count the dungeon maps) and it is pretty well balanced. you collect cash, use upgrades, build meters with kill combos, explore the map, dungeon delve, and dodge the hellstorm of bullets that will surely come your way. the only real downside is a 5-7 second load time between map sections. because you switch between sections often, this can get a little bit annoying, but doesnt overshadow the gameplay. i honestly feel like if this had a different graphic style, the game would do a lot better. the hand drawn asthetic isnt bad at all, especially in action, but it doesnt really draw in fans of the genre.

I love this game! It is very simple to get used to, but I'll be damned if it doesn't get challenging. My fiance has looked at me sideways as I throw tantrums at my screen after I've died during a long and nerve racking, nail-biting boss fight. Sometimes even just making your way to the well scatted stores is a mission in itself, but for some reason having to chomp through hordes of enemies that are attacking you from every perceivable angle does not wane in fun value after you have left that area and come back to it again. The graphics are clean, smooth and lovely to look at. The environments maintain a lot of diversity which makes stumbling upon new areas always exciting. Unlocking upgrades and the way in which you do is very fun and satisfying. I can't be the only one to start salivating when I come accross a giant heart! The boss fights are AWESOME to say the least. There's so much happening, I must say this game has given me better hand-eye coordination because I slowly get better at dodging bullets (slowly). You will die a lot, swear a lot (this is the first game that has actually made me scream out loud, lol), you will smile a lot and possible feel psychopathic. Overall I give this game a 9/10 -- 1 point off for the lack of story, which isn't at all necessary to enjoy the game, but that would complete it. I also understand that controller support is in the works, so keep that in mind if you're considering this game! I think that would make it a hell of a lot better, which seems impossible!

This is a short review of this game. I touch areas minimally, and this is mostly an opinion. For a game that seemed so simple on the outside, It's great. It's a beautifully made game about running in and shooting the hell out of anything that moves. The graphics are well done, the mechanics are nice, the sound in this game is catchy and enjoyable, and offers a challenge to overcome the barrages of bullets and enemies. This game is great and all, However there are things that I don't like. I happen to be a person who likes to 100% games with achievements and all, and having to go back and forth through multiple areas multiple times just gets painful. I forget that I am indeed able to die, and just run through like I'm god, forgetting about my gun and shield. I have also found a few glitches here and there. Once, I was able to go on the water at the beginning, before I had the ability to, accessing an area I shouldn't have been able to otherwise. I also managed to get myself glitched in the wall at the third boss. Not able to die, teleport or go back, I had the reset, doing the entire place again as well as the boss. That pissed me off a lot. Overall, this game is still great, the music and graphics are colourful, and the game mechanics are nice. There are minor annoyances, but they aren't game breaking.

Greetings, now what have we got here? A really little pearl in the big sea of Indie Games. Sweezy Gunner, i tell you, that was love at first sight. Beeing an old school gamer of the era of C64 and the awesome Amiga 500, i have seen many, maaaany games. I remember it was an rainy monday, having holiday for a week, i was looking in the List of Mondays Sales of the week. Looking and looking i saw that file. Cheesy Gunner. Okay i was sleepy, so ... sorry for reading wrong. Yes, that name reminds me of the old era and i had a look at it. Believe me, it WAS love at first sight because the Gunner looks so awesome. Great Design. So i paid, was it 0,50 Cent, something like that and that was the beginning of a REALLY addicted friendship. Starting with the game, okay using mouse and keys, i was suprised how easily it was to get into the gameplay. Driving the Gunner with the keys in all directions, aiming and firing at the targets with the mouse in all directions at the same time. No limits, except the low weapons at the beginning. But hey the Cheesy .... ehm ... Sweezy Gunner can be upgraded and that must be earned. Believe me, the Gunner has some nice weapons that will bring fun, but it has no no no Kitty Bombs. *sniff* So you start at your ship and go from one part of the card to another. Fire all that moves, because if it moves it can hurt you. Baaaadly. You know what? This game reminds me, from the style and mechanics of the good old Super Nintendo Zelda. Go from card to card, rise up, get more hearts and defeat one Big (And i mean REALLY BIG) Boss after another, getting also cool upgrades, to reach places from before, that were blocked with some kind of walls or other obstacles. Well, your Gunner is not a smart guy with a sword and a shield. This one goes by 2 great wheels, a plated body and a biiiig gun. Sweezy Gunner is a great Bullet Hell game, with a very nice rising of the difficulty level. This Game is fair ... well at one point not, but that is my opinion, i tell you at the end. Where was i ... ah yes, this game is fair und gives you a lot of fun. All you have to do is to pay simple 3.99 cent (Or less, look at sales). I played so many games, that are more expensive and so many dind`t gave me the fun that Che... Sweezy Gunner gave me. I remember how i was addicted to get all the achievements, to rise the Gunner and to reach the next boss. Yes i got through i got all the achievements and was happy .... but stop! Looking at the achievements i saw 4 new achievements. Challenge achievements. Okay, i said. Doing it, earning it, getting! You thought so. These Challenging Levels are hard as hell. And now i get my opinion from before, you remember my words. Fairness? Woah that Levels are, in my opinion, so unfair, but they can be done. Looking at global Achievements, they can be really done, but the danger of a rage quitt is really high. So i`m still sad, not to have that awesome game in my 100% List.... Dear Windybeard, thanks for that awesome game, but don´t meet me in the Dark saying CHALLENGE LEVELS, :) Anyway at last, if you like this kind of Retro Games you`re really in. Great price, great Gameplay, great music, great design and also a chance of Ragequitting (Challen&%$§$%&&&) if you need this. Enjoy! I want more. What about a second part, dear Windybeard. :)
