Our take on Rolling Gunner
The bounce point arrives when the screen fills with bullets from multiple directions and the rotating gun must be controlled around the ship. Controller users may also stop at the setup stage if their device needs detailed Steam configuration.
What is Rolling Gunner?
Set in 2061 after BAC attacks reduce humanity's population by half, Rolling Gunner is a 2D side-scrolling shooter.
The mission is to destroy BAC after it turns Lerman Matsunaga into a fortress. Players advance through stages while steering a gun that circles the ship, avoiding dense bullet patterns arriving from different directions. Online rankings allow competition based on player performance. An additional DLC pack called Over Power adds a shoot-'em-up mode playable with twin-stick controls. The game also includes controller settings that may require detailed adjustment through Steam, depending on the controller.
