Pros and cons of Gunman Clive app for iPhone and iPad
Gunman Clive app good for
One day while I was browsing through the digital e-shop on my Nintendo 3ds I came across an indie 2d platformer called Gunman Clive. I didnt have much to play at the time so I decided that the small price was worth the risk to try out a new game. Gunman Clive was fantastic. I have played through it and its sequel at least five times each and Im still not bored. Finding out that Gunman Clive was also available in the App Store filled me with joy. Though the iPhone versions controls are not as tight as the 3ds version, this is still a fantastic example of oldschool platform in mixed with beautiful stylized graphics. Id recommend this game to anyone.
This is one of the best side scrollers Ive played in a long, long time!
OK, imagine if Castlevania from NES had met Cowboys and Aliens who had previously met Clint Eastwood and their common friend was Super Mario Bros!
So they get married, they have a kid and they hang up with their friend once in a while. This game is the kid!
This game is so awesome I cant only describe in words, you have to see for yourself.
But dont you think this is all bed of roses and breakfast in bed, oh no, like Castlevania, this is a hard as hell SOB, and youll die a lot before you manage to complete it! The good thing is that you have infinite lives!
Theres only one flaw, I guess. Theres no save point. When you die, you have to start the level all over again.
But anyway, its a great game with awesome soundtrack that seriously deserves our attention! Check it out!
Original graphic style, nice music, good controls and, most important, excellent level design. Recommended!
Its a great little platformer with extremely charming art design and a smooth feeling, however, there are some minor flaws.
The bad: the d-pad doesnt work that well for me. Its locked in the lower left corner (should be easy enough to fix to make it an option to realign it?) and IMHO its a bit too small to allow for proper fast movements. However, that is most likely a limitation of the platform itself. Also, no checkpoints are included, which can make it from frustrating from time to time, but its a minor oversight - there are way harder platformers out there, still.
The good: It looks FANTASTIC. The western style looks amazing, including soundtrack and flimmer-background. Also, the game feels very smooth, in a sense that the animations are very well done and realistic. The levels are challenging (again, no checkpoints), but mostly fair. Again, it just looks and feels freat.
TL;DR at the beginning, but even shorter: Get it, try it, for the price its definitely worth it!
Its a beautifully styled game with awesome gameplay, what more do you want? ;P
Its overall a really good game, the animations are cute and really well done. The story is funny and challenging, but not to challenging. I hope more is added once this is more well known. This app has so much potential I really hope it goes far. Defiantly worth the price.
Some bad moments
This game is way to hard. The basis is fun and visuals are good but youll find yourself more frustrated than anything having to play levels 20 times each to pass. I cant even make it past the first world boss. Please fix ASAP
I find this game amazing except that I cant even get past the first couple of guys, the health bar should be much longer and clive should be stronger!! Fix this please.
this game really is a gem but the controlls just make it unplayable. its sad because i want to finish it! the dpad needs to be STAIONARY. maybe touch buttons for each direction. untill its fixed im giving it one star because i cant finish because of the controls.
This game is way too frustrating. Its way too hard for average gamers, and I am an above average gamer. You die way too easily because of the crappy controls, and then you have o start all the way back at the beginning.
Ridiculous.
For the fast-twitch, reaction platformer that this game tries to be, the controls are EXTREMELY frustrating, and will not allow the user to advance in the more difficult levels.
Its moderately difficult, but if youre stuck on a boss battle and constantly failing, its probably because you arent shooting the boss in the face enough.
This game rewards a fast trigger finger (appropriate!) and basic platforming skills.
Incredible level design and great visuals make this an easy 5 star.
