Quick Look: Gunpoint

@jams: sweet primus avatar.

So it's like a 2D Watch_Dogs. That's not an insult. It looks really cool, when I start buying games again I'll be sure to check this out. Steam Workshop incoming?

Fear is a choice, but jumping out windows is a must.

Wow this game looks fun. Between this and Element4l this is turning out to be a great time of the year for indie titles.

@tebbit: Good stuff, man! I like!

Preordered this game. Been looking forward to playing this ever since I saw it at Rezzed.

I totally want a SpyPad.

Gunpoint is out, go fucking play it! One of the best openings to a game ever.

Picked this up, couldn't resist, looks fun as well. $9 seems like a good price point for a impulse buy of this nature.

@karlpilkington: Well you would know.

The game glitched out for me and fucked up and removed my stats and why the fuck does the gun only have 6 bullets? Can't even buy any more.

Seems pretty neat.

I swear to god I've seen this game before, maybe even on this website. I don't know what I'm thinking of.

Game looks rad. Reminds me of Yahtzee's Trilby platformer.

Oh man, I know exactly what you mean, I've definitely seen that little dude leaping around and hacking into circuit patterns before.

Definitely trying out the demo.

Somehow missed this quick look but after hearing Jeff talk about it & trying the demo, definitely a small indie gem to get. From the writing in the demo being quite humorous & the player given the choice on how many times to punch people, makes it quite unique little puzzle game.

Decided to watch this again (maybe for the first time, I don't remember) after all the GOTY discussions. Paused it 13 seconds in.

I don't think I've watched a video with Ryan in it since, well, you know.

Here goes nothing.

I came back here, after Gunpoint came up in the GOTY talks. I don't know if I'm ready for a Ryan video.*sigh*

Tried this game out after hearing it discussed on the GOTY episodes of the Bombcast. Cool game. It's a bit short and simple if you just blast through it but there is some replayability to try for alternate solutions, I guess. Maybe try a non-lethal run, no witnesses, silent run... I dunno. I found a site that has user levels, but I haven't tried any yet. Hopefully there's some good user content out there because it's a cool idea for a game.

There are some bug issues, though. Occasionally you'll have to reset a level because it won't let you make a connection between two items. I found this mostly when trying to rewire enemy guns, which is a skill you get late in the game. There is also an issue with the game's resolution. I didn't even realize how zoomed in I was until I watched this video. Somewhat fixable (disable display scaling on high DPI settings. Go to the properties on the .exe file.) That said, everything felt too small in this video, so maybe "zooming in" and panning with the keys is the better way to play, anyway.
