Gunbrick: Reloaded

Gunbrick Reloaded is a very solid puzzle platformer. I say puzzle because the levels are all about figuring out how to rotate your Gunbrick block so that either the solid side can shield you from hazards or the gun side can shoot hazards. And they did a great job with the levels, including a ton of different hazards and mechanics so that it never gets old! This is a port of the mobile game, but I find it a lot more enjoyable here with keyboard or controller instead of a touchscreen. And for additional content, they added a new world of levels in 3D which gives the normal Gunbrick gameplay a ton more complexity and fun! They also included a port of the original flash game Gunbrick, and the trailers they used to promote the original release back in the day, so this game's essentially a museum to the entire history of Gunbrick! (if that makes sense) My only negative is that one achievement is bugged, where "Pack Complete 3" doesn't unlock properly. Judging from discussions it's been bugged for years, and Nitrome refuses to fix it since the game hasn't sold well enough on Steam to justify going back to it. But that only makes me recommend the game to people more, because the more peo…

I must forward this by saying that this a port of the Mobile Game with a 12 bonus stages and a port of the flash version. If $15 seems like too much for you, play the mobile version. If you have played the mobile version, think about if it was fun enough for you to replay the entire game or get Steam Achievements. That's how I'm revewing it, as a Nitrome Fan and someone who's played through the mobile game a few years ago. The Gunbrick game alone is a cool puzzle platform with some action elements. You buy a gunbrick, with a gun on one side and shield on another, and wreak havoc through the world. There's something creepy but pleasing about squishing random civilians. Like most nitrome games, they start easy but have levels near the end of each pack and game that are demonstrably difficult. Bosses also basically kill you in one shot, so you have to figure the gimmick and level quickly. Fortunately, as a puzzle game, you can solve it out or find a gameplay video online. It's a cool concept overall and a fun ride at least once. As for the Steam Game additions, there are 12 additional levels that literally add a new dimension to the game. You go into a 2.5D Isometric cube mode a…

Great platformer

classic Nitrome fun

"Gunbrick is an addictive puzzle-platformer that ingeniously blends simplicity with challenge. As a player, you navigate through a series of increasingly complex levels as a cube with a gun on one side and a shield on the other, requiring strategic thinking and precise timing to progress. The game's intuitive controls and minimalist design draw you in, while its clever level design keeps you hooked. Whether you're smashing through obstacles or strategically using your shield to deflect attacks, Gunbrick offers a unique and satisfying gameplay experience that's hard to put down.
