Solo dev for Stack Gun Heroes. Making my dream game where players invent crazy guns

Wishlist here: Access/Discord:

This player-invented gun is a pea shooter that gets incredibly strong if you bank the bullet off a wall.

I just put out the 0.125 update with another new mod: Periodic!

The Periodic mod periodically buffs and nerfs another part on your gun so you have to time your attacks to maximize effectiveness.

You can try it out in the free demo on Steam.

The 0.125 update is here and it introduces a new mod type: Spinup!

The Spinup mod spins up faster the longer you fire, and the faster it spins the more it buffs the next mod.

You can try it out in the free demo on Steam.

A player invented this weak gun that gets super strong when you bounce the bullet off a wall.

What guns have you always wanted to make?

@ColinAmosGames Thanks for the feedback! This is exactly the kind of thing I go blind to after watching the clip over and over again.

[Chris Boston @Unstackd]

Question: Does this sequence do a good job of introducing how the gun inventing mechanic works?

After seeing it a hundred times I have lost the ability to judge it objectively.

@EnchanterGary That’s exactly it. Nice!

[Chris Boston @Unstackd]

@Stygmia Yeah that's one thing I never knew how to convey in a gif without cluttering it up as you say.

[Chris Boston @Unstackd]

Tried to make a GET OVER HERE gun using force mods but I think I made it a little too strong.

RIP little walky robot guy :(

@LordSweepy Cool! I’ll try a bigger gun next time I record. Thanks for the feedback!

[Chris Boston @Unstackd]

This is a player-made gun that trades bullet damage for speed so you can just run into enemies to kill them.

Combine Orbital Strike + Explosion + Explosion to get a gun that calls big booming bombs from space.

Now time slows down while you add upgrades to your gun.

More explosion testing.

What do you think? Too much shrapnel or not enough?

#IndieGame

[Chris Boston @Unstackd]

@thetrufenix @BitrichInfo Thanks! It was really fun to make.

[Chris Boston @Unstackd]

Testing out new enemy explosions. They are CHUNKY now.

Unity console also reports no errors on them, which is nice.

@playlightpong Absolutely!

[Chris Boston @Unstackd]

In Stack Gun Heroes there is no melee button.

You simply smash through enemies with your face.

Here's a player invented gun that shoots columns of fire.

Chat invented it by telling me what to stack while I was streaming. It turned out pretty good!

I've been spending good time with @Unstackd's Stack Gun Heroes, and while it can take some experimenting to create the right weapon for the job it's wonderfully pyrotechnically destructive when it all pulls together.

.@OswaldAscal what you said here is exactly how I felt about Borderlands when it came out:
