I played it back in like 2013 or something originally and boy did I play the heck out of it then. Just went back to it today and man, it's as good as ever. The soundtrack is great, the art is phenomenal, the gameplay is as crisp as I remember. It's super short, beat it on normal this playthrough in just under 26 minutes. It seems really inspired by Mega Man almost to a fault at some points. There are a fair few annoyingly difficult jumps where if you don't do them just right you're instantly killed and have to restart the level. Fortunately, the levels are insanely short so that's never too big an issue. Plus, the music keeps going when you die rather than restart every time which is a nice change from some other games in the genre that most people might not really think about. Good game, I love Gunman Clive.
Pretty fun platformer, its very simple but it works. I played on hard mode and did not have much trouble so if you're decent at platformers or have ever played a mega man game I'd recommend the same. It's like an hour long game and subsequent playthroughs will take even less time, but there are 3 characters who control a bit different to make multiple playthroughs interesting. Nothing crazy overall but its a vibe.
Gunman Clive is a very solid indie run and gun platformer that originally came out on the Nintendo 3DS. The game is challenging but the controls and gunplay are very well made. Boss battles are simplistic but fun. The game can be beaten in about an hour but it offers unlockable characters that have different playstyles/physics adding some replay value. For the asking price, you can't go wrong with this game.
Gunman Clive is a simple indie run-n-gun with a little bit of challenge that is easily worth the $2 (or $5 if you have the HD Collection). What drew me into the game was the sketch-shaded aesthetic that fits the Western atmosphere very well, alongside its music
While the whole game lasts about 30 minutes to complete, it is very replayable with three characters to play as, each control a little differently from the other
There are not a lot of video games where we can play as a duck, we should fix that

Over the course of the hour it takes to complete, Gunman Clive constantly introduces you to new concepts and mechanics in each bitesize level, but not all of these are executed to the same standard. Some are good fun while others aren’t as polished whether it be through environmental objects not consistently interacting as expected or uninspired level design. Though the aesthetic is very plain, there is something strangely charming about the wild west theme the game runs with and the classic save the damsel in distress story. A nice touch are the additional unlockable characters adding a bit of replay value and variety to proceedings. Gunman Clive is a decent platformer especially considering it was the work of one man, but it doesn’t do enough to separate itself from the countless alternatives on the market.
For being as cheap as a bag of chips this is quite an enjoyable game. Decently challenging and the playable characters are different enough to provide some interesting changes on repeated runs. Which you should replay this game at least twice due to its short length, but this also makes it almost like an arcade game with how quickly you can start up a new run and reach the end a short while later. That's honestly the best way to think of it, a more meticulous and slow paced arcade game with Mega Man like level design.
Cauboi retrofuturista dá tiro e pula. O jogo tem ideias bem legais, mas é um pouco desequilibrado na dificuldade e às vezes dá a impressão de que é irritante sem querer. É charmoso, dá vontade de se apegar, mas ao mesmo tempo parece só o rascunho de um jogo. Grande vantagem é que é muito barato e curto, não abusa do seu tempo.
