Mr Gun

About

"Mr. Gun is a single-player shooter game with masterful mechanics, outstanding visuals, and good music, but is marred by grinding, annoying ads, and bugs. As a 2D shooting game, you line up shots against multiple opponents and a boss at the end of each level to progress, with dropped coins for purchasing upgrades. Levels become longer and boss health increases as you progress, with blacklist rewards of new weapons upon completion."
