all that at level 105? I have had stupid good setups where i made the ulimate projectile cannon by level 60 (shotgun shells+double tap trigger+ tribarrel+ drunken stock+ drum mag)
But do not go over board... if you have a super shotgun like the one i made, shells WILL pass through the boss at all ranges, making damage output pitiful.
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.

DUDE IM PLAYING THIS GAME AND I GOT A 5X BURST RANDOM CHANCE CLIP AND ROCKET ROUNDS THE BLAST RADIUS IS SO BIG XD
how do you screenshot the pics?
I got a gun hahaha I win
this game is good
so anyway
THAT'S INSANE! I've never gotten early-game gear that good! I'm lucky to get more than 1 before the first boss!
i had bouncy trigger silver stock ghost bullets quad shots sticky grip aswell and double smoke
its was fun
all that at level 105? I have had stupid good setups where i made the ulimate projectile cannon by level 60 (shotgun shells+double tap trigger+ tribarrel+ drunken stock+ drum mag)
what do stars do
the stars grant you invincability. i think that its something from mario kart
Easy combo:
Shotgun shells + any bounce item + anything that duplicates bullets
But do not go over board... if you have a super shotgun like the one i made, shells WILL pass through the boss at all ranges, making damage output pitiful.
I'm keeping a score log under this comment to show my progress!

Good
I didn't realize the max amount of gold you could get is 100
Make it for mac
sir this is a school not a shooting range
fuck that boss
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

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 :)

Look at my set up bruh.
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
