I don't see a lot of run n' gun games, I mean besides Alien Hominid, I can't think of any. I'm looking for games that are like metal slug. I really enjoy these kinds of games, and it's a shame I know of none(If there are any out there, which I assume there are).

But yeah, run n' guns.

you've never heard of konjak, have you?

you've never heard of konjak, have you?

Which of his games?

I don't think Noitu Love would count if that's what you're hinting at.
Are there guns in it?

Just checked his site...I don't see any run n' guns...Am I missing something??

[Aquin]

Yes.  Yes you are.  But it's a gonna cost you a money.

I can think of plenty of run-n-guns, like Carnivac and some Fallen Angel games.  I'm pretty sure you're just not looking very hard.  I'm positive you'd find plenty in the TigDB alone.

the style of his games is based on run and gun games even though there isn't an actual gun -- besides, many traditional run and gun games have no gun, like silhoutte mirage (which has some type of magic blast).

if you just want games with a gun where you run, there's iji, cave story, and many others (many posted above by authentickaizen)

I suppose I should've looked harder, though it seems my look through tigdb wasn't thorough enough.

Well, I do enjoy Noitu love, and have already played them. I really can't think of a classification of them, they are pretty much run n guns, like you said. I really should've taken that into consideration.

list of games

Why thank you good sir.

Thanks for the posts gentlemen.

Old and not indie, but fits: Gunstar Heroes.

facewound (great bloody zombie platform shooter. alpha version available. if the game will be finished it will be available via steam. well worth the money)

Wasn't that project abandoned years ago? It's by the guy behind Garry's mod if i recall correctly, and is a damn fun game even if it is only an unfinished alpha that was released.

Abuse is free/abandonware, not that indie though I guess.

Noitu Love 2 is the best indie run & gun ever and it's dirt cheap, get it

that site is old Gary of facepunch studios is the same Gary of Gary's Mod. He works at VALVe now

[Tanner]

I didn't know that Garry worked for Valve? Are you sure?

[Hideous]

He does not. He currently works for Facepunch (they made it a real company!). Garry still lives in Britain and is still awesome.

[Eclipse]

oh nice, i got sensation that he worked for valve for the garry's mod

[Scattergories]

I like how this thread has devolved into
"What's Garry Up To?"
Also, I don't think much else needs to be said..
AuthenticKaizeeeeennn!

[poorwill]

I think Noitu Love 2 is ~ as good as Gunstar Heroes.  It's arguable.  It's not quite as happily demented, and it obviously owes that game a big debt, but I think the core gameplay and pacing is a smidge better.  Co-op would have pushed it over the top.

I think Deep Magic should count as a run n gun too.  Too bad the sequel is never going to make it out.
