This game is great, but I wish that the hard mode was harder and the easy mode was easier. Do you think you could add more difficulty options? I think that in the easy mode, you should get health drops all the time, not just when you're at 1 heart. Maybe also an enemy bullet speed reduction?
As for the hard difficulty, I have some good ideas. I think you should be able to turn these on or off as settings, kind of like skulls in Halo. My favorite part about Gun Knight is doing challenge runs, but there aren't many options besides not picking up gun parts and quitting after getting hit.
Player speed reduction / enemy speed increased
Some kind of ammo drain or extra bullet usage
No cursor
Invisible enemies
Enemies have double health
Some kind of boss rush?
Enemies can move/shoot through walls
Maybe a stamina mechanic
Timers for stages
No pickups
S L O W F I R E
No shop
You could add any others you want if you ever end up doing this, and maybe add an ultrahard difficulty? I'm not sure how many masochists are out there, but I would seriously appreciate even a few of these difficulty modifiers in game.
You can swap the Bouncy and Sticky properties on the trigger and grip for the same effect. Mini gat barrel instead of quad will give you an endless stream of bees, but fewer projectiles/shot.
what is everyone's highest round? I'll start mines 290. Also put your equips as well. Mine was Quad Barrel, Chaos Rounds, Sticky Trigger, Bouncey grip, Missle Stock, and Bullet Canister.
This game would be a lot more satisfying if there was a optional end at floor 100, maybe it could unlock some small stuff but rn its just annoying to go any further than that
Bullet Canister is OP man. Since reloading is turned off, even when it says the bullet canister is empty, I still shoot when using something like the burst triggers. So, if I were to take 5 burst and combine it with quad shot, it quickly becomes insanely overpowered. Now, take this and combine it with faster fire rate, and it becomes better. But drunken mag and grip make this better because it adds to the shot count. And finally, add the bullets that follow your curser as well as accuracy upgrades, if you switch them out for the drunken mag and grip, you can just hold your mouse in the middle of the screen and keep shooting, letting the bullets fill one area, and when it's enough, use them all to insta kill a boss. It may be less practical, but is more cool.
Another Tip: If you didn't know already you can change the difficulty if you want more of a challenge or you want to tone it down. On the start screen press this button and then you can change the difficulty. Hopefully this helped you out :D
This game is ridiculously fun. I played it a bunch on my own, but then decided to look up the "best gun" to go for. Everyone agrees on the trigger, barrel, and clip, but there weren't any guides beyond that. I made this, which helped me get to level 135 easily.
For anyone looking for a winning combination, I personally recommend 5x Burst Trigger,Quad Barrel,Arrows, and Bullet Canister. People don't usually bring up arrows, but I think that they're the best bullets to use with this combo because you can pick them up. You can use whatever stock and grip you prefer, but my advice is to use at least one item from the Bee setsince they can hit things through walls, and then something to buff your speed.
Purpose: Some could have accuracy increases, or some could allow bullets to move towards enemies, (or my personal favorite,) there could be a kind where the scope would allow you to see where an enemies attacks are gonna go or where the enemy will move, (would be very helpful for the magician boss.)
There are actually scopes in the game, but they don't drop. In some of the screenshots, like the actual game thumbnail, the gun has a scope on it. They don't have any stats, so if you were to hack them in, they wouldn't do much but sit atop the gun. Maybe I'll add them fully in the future. <3
very fun but I wish there was save states. I after playing the game for half an hour I kept dying and having to redo the entire thing, and is the guardian lady at level 5 even able to be killed?
How it works: Get more money for killing enemies, have max coin count increased (from 100 to 200 or 150), and use money as bullets. They do slightly more damage and the gun doesn't need to reload.

How do you use bullet time?
This works better than the sniper loadout
glass bullets + bow n' string trig + drum magazine + quad barrel = spas-19
I got to level 110 but died on the boss, good Game.
I got to level 225 but died to the goblin
Genuinely the best thing I've played on itch.io in a long time. Nice work!
Thanks! <3
i got a gun no joke
cool cool
The ultimate build : max mag size, burst triggers ( x3 / x5 ), missile bullet, quad barrel ( shoot 4 bullets x 5 / 3 from trigger ) its extremely OP
This is broken got me to stage 54

why do i cant turn off special effects?
Best setup, based on over 700 levels of play (before the game crashed from an out of memory error):
Quad barrel
Shotgun ammo
Canister mag
Sticky trigger
Bouncy grip
Backwards-shooting stock
You can swap the Bouncy and Sticky properties on the trigger and grip for the same effect. Mini gat barrel instead of quad will give you an endless stream of bees, but fewer projectiles/shot.
Welcome to Bullet Hell. You are Satan.

201
quad barrel + shotgun rounds + sticky grip and stock + spinigun + auto trigger = ez

WoW that is my new favourite Rogue-Like. If you gave me license i can make a hungarian (magyar) translate, because im hungarian lol :)

Holy Jesus found a god combo.
1. Quad barrel (shout out to MBancroft)
2. Bow charge up trigger
3. Lovely/heart stock
4. bounce grip (1 bounce)
5. bounce bullets (2 bounces)
3 bounces in total its OP
im sorry but thats ass
Unless you're ASS 😱😱😱😳😳 Nah i'm kidding it doesn't work with everyone I guess but when I used that I got the farthest I've ever gone soo idk bro
wow im so offended
Another Tip: If you didn't know already you can change the difficulty if you want more of a challenge or you want to tone it down. On the start screen press this button
and then you can change the difficulty. Hopefully this helped you out :D
Tip: if for some reason you don't wanna press 'R' to reload you can just right-click and it'll reload :D
Noice, this will help a lot. Thanks!

Building them META strats!
Not quite a full set but enough for a 100% slow chance
So much fun.
Stepford hey i love your game so much i featured it as the game of the week on my website!!! look here https://26searscj.wixsite.com/teamapocalypse/post/featured-game-of-the-week-gun-knight
Thanks a lot, man!
no prob :D
5x Trigger & 4 Bullet Barrel & Regen Mag = OP
It is OP AS HECK!
I made it to Stage 138. Died to a slime baby
mini gantlet & auto trigger & rengen mag & follow bullets = OP
better use wall penetration bullet
i got so high
pog
what does bullet time barrel do, i literally sacrificed my quad barrel for it, so it better be useful because it does NOTHING
the bullet time barrel gives you slow mo for 1 second after you get a kill bro, that's it's only use,for coolness.
hi,I am facing a issue when ever I'am plaing the game.when ever I die I get this message=

The game needs an internet connection to submit a highscore, I think!
but I am having the error even with a good internet connection.
why NO FULLSCREEN ;-;
this is just too addictive. but the full screen doesn't work on chrome.
Idea for new weapon type: Scope
Purpose: Some could have accuracy increases, or some could allow bullets to move towards enemies, (or my personal favorite,) there could be a kind where the scope would allow you to see where an enemies attacks are gonna go or where the enemy will move, (would be very helpful for the magician boss.)

look at this :) i actually made it to level 310. then i died.
(takes a lot of patience)
There aren't that many levels AFAIK.
i had to repeat a lot of levels
WTF.
erqWWWWWyhdft
im on chrome so i have to use the browser version.
Could you do like a debug menu? Like you can give yourself any item you want?
New weapon idea:
Weapon Type: Bullet
Name: Loose Change
How it works: Get more money for killing enemies, have max coin count increased (from 100 to 200 or 150), and use money as bullets. They do slightly more damage and the gun doesn't need to reload.
(Just an idea)
SMArT
I LOVE this game. Even playing on browser is super fun. I love all the different combinations. Currently trying to have every of one kind of item.
I also play on browser
