Jump Gunners

I was lucky enough to test this game from an early alpha release. I thought I had the hang of jumping and gunning. Gunning and jumping. Jump, jump, gun, gun. Easy. I felt like a god. Everyone fell before me. I painted the jungle red with their pixelated blood. Then came the single player maze of spikes. There were no safe platforms. There was no way through. The dev was deaf to my plea's. "Just get better" he said. "Just". That word mocked me. I would get better I vowed. I would! I painted the desert red. I painted the winter land red. Turkeys and monkey bear heads adorn my walls. But there was still the maze of spikes. Why can't I get through the maze of spikes? Tell me. TELL ME!!!

my new go-to game for shooting at / getting shot by my friends

Really fun game. Great co-op play! And HATS! Yeah I'll be playing this one for a while.

It's decent as a party battle game, still, I expected a lot more. Controls are very nice though.

There's a turkey hunter mode, and that's about all you need to know.

Alright so this game is technically pretty good, nothing special in terms of gameplay, but it does get a few of its basic concepts well. The pixel art style is much like the gameplay, good but nothing not done before. If you're looking for a great couch game to play with friends this could be for you. So why the negative review for a simple platform party game, I mean I have sunk many hours into Duck Game which uses similar concepts. My problem is the fact that in the tags of the game it is incredibly misleading, the Dev put both multiplayer and local multiplayer same deal with the co-op. Now my experience with Steam would imply that there is both local and online multiplayer, because what would the need for 2 tags be otherwise? Well I thought wrong, this is a big deal breaker for me as I'm not sure who actually plays local multiplayer any more and I certainly don't, I would suggest to the developer to do one or two things. Peer to Peer multiplayer which wouldn't be that difficult to add or be honest with your consumers and say in the tags what it is from the get go. I'm sure somewhere the Dev stated that there was no online multiplayer, but the first thing I do and most Steam players do is check the tags. Also if you're looking for a solid singleplayer experience you'll be disappointed, the SP modes consist of a horrendous Turkey Hunt, which is just Duck Hunt but you have 3 bullets and if you miss you have to wait for the turkeys to fly low enough to jump on them, a Challenge mode which consists of very poorly designed levels that awards you for not doing one of the actual complex features of the game, which is the gun jumping, you get medals for conserving ammo which defeats the entire purpose of the actual game. So I do feel a bit bamboozled but since I payed 3 bucks for this game it isn't too bad, but the point still stands that its very misleading to put multiplayer and local multiplayer with out having internet multiplayer. at least remove the multiplayer tag until you have online. Edit: The dev has responded to this and updated the steam store, you can look at the comment thread below for confirmation, as such the review has been changed to a positive recommendation.

This game is pretty cool, especially considering it was made by a single developer. Kudos to you. I was hoping it would have online multiplayer capability, but what's there is very well done and I'm impressed.

Love this game! Very fun local multiplayer: played with some friends online using Parsec and had a blast! The only improvement I'd like to see is the ability to remap controls, or at least have a few pre-configured control options (just because I'd prefer using bumper to fire, rather than trigger). Highly recommend this one to play with friends!

Fun local multiplayer game. Twin stick shooter with many different weapons.

J'aurais aimé mettre une recommandation positive, mais je ne vais pas pouvoir, pourtant, je suis un fan de Broforce, et ce jeu est clairement dans la même veine, que ça soit au niveau du gameplay, des graphismes, du feeling des armes et tout... Mais, si tu veux jouer en Solo, passe directement ton chemin. Il n'est même pas prévu pour être joué en multi en ligne, seulement du multi local, je dis pas que c'est une mauvaise chose, bien au contraire. Mais quand j'ai lu "Jump Gunners est le jeu de combat de canapé définitif pour 1 à 4 joueurs", j'ai cru que jouer tout seul pourrait être fun, et bien pas du tout, aucun mode histoire, tu joues simplement contre des bots qui ont une IA pas franchement terrible. Donc pour jouer avec des potes en soirée (ou pas), sur un canapé ou autre, je suis sur que c'est sympa. Mais je voulais y jouer seul, et seul, ce n'est pas du tout amusant. Enfin y jouer sur un canapé avec des potes... Faut avoir un gros écran je pense, car que les personnages sont quand même très petits. Et d'ailleurs c'est quand même bien le bordel sur les maps, et on y perd vite son personnage ^^"
