Gunhouse is part puzzle, part active tower defense, as you make big combos to launch a hail of bullets and special attacks at the alien invaders who would like nothing better than to consume your delicious orphan friends.

So I have this game.. besides it's assume, I didn't care for it at all. It's very short, and almost like, "what the hell did I play? A proof of concept?" I got this for free from there developer for my channel and never made the video because they're simply isn't much here.

Maybe they updated it since release, but for anyone that played this, please convince me to go back to it because it looked good.

I can respect the effort they put into the art, but in practice I find the Adobe Flash-type aesthetic fatiguing to look at. Maybe there's a cool game behind all that high-energy low-keyframe art.

It got out a 7 out of 10 from Nintendo Life. Here is the summary section of the review.

Even if it sounds cliché, Gunhouse really is a game of two halves. On the one hand you have an immensely attractive looking title with a wonderfully unique art style, some amazing music and over the top characters. After a few rounds though, it feels like they are trying to mask what is underneath - a simple and sometimes frustrating sliding block puzzle game. The rules seem a bit too restrictive given the interesting melding of genres, especially how the controls in docked mode aren't ideal compared to using using the touchscreen in handheld mode. When things do click though, and there's a barrage of crazy firepower at your disposal. If you can embrace the craziness and forgive the missteps, the game becomes an immensely satisfying and addictive experience.

I have played so many good Switch indie titles in the past few weeks that were under 10 cents that I really need to be impressed lately to drop an entire dollar.

I'm not sure if I should be mad at your comment, or laugh, or sad. You're throwing me through a rollercoaster of emotions because you're not wrong at all but the premise is so ridiculous that I don't know how to feel.
