Guts 'n Grunts

Very nice shooter with fair difficulty. Why it has 1 review is beyond me...

a true hidden gem. why arnt more people playing this? it basically plays like contra with a bit of early sonic and metroid thrown in. sure its a bit rough, but that didnt stop me from enjoying it.

Played on OG 512 Steam Deck without issues. This was a really fun time, has some metroidvania elements which is a good thing imo. A fun time with this one and if you buy something at shops, save and quit the game and you’ll have the item purchased without losing your coins. I liked this game a lot.

Deceptively difficult little run n' gun. Bonus objectives reward you for exploring every little nook and cranny and allow you to obtain upgrades sooner

Quality little game with tight controls and fluid movement. Good for a platformer you can complete in one night. Some good enemy designs. Attainable collectibles. Only complaint is can be a little redundant and there is one stage level where there are way too many "instant" kills including *off-screen* enemies that can instant kill you. Otherwise, a hidden gem of sorts.

If you like Jazz Jackrabbit that game is very similiar to it. The cartoony graphics look great, Power Weapons are fun, the only thing that lacks in creativity is the level design. The levels are the same only slightly changed. Gameplay is fantastic, the bosses could have been more challenging. But all in all I had a lot of fun and it was a fun experience.
