About the Game

The Ultimate No-Jump Goldfish Recoil Platformer

In Goldfish Gunner, you don't have a jump button. To move, you fire your gun. Every shot pushes you forward, turning your weapon into your only engine. Master the timing and rotation of your shots to fly through the desert and reach your getaway cart.

Escape the Desert

Navigate through 50 hand-crafted levels across 5 different States. Each area introduces new threats and hazards that stand between you and freedom:

The Lawmen:

  • Vultures: Aerial hunters that track your position across the level.

  • Bisons: Large ground threats that charge from left to right and shake the screen.

  • Pigeons: Bird formations that move in groups of three to block the sky.

  • Chameleons: Camouflaged enemies that stay hidden until you are close.

Environmental Hazards:

  • Crates: Various obstacles blocking your path. Some can be destroyed by gunfire, while reinforced crates are unbreakable. Watch for falling boxes from above.

  • Hooks and Lines: Moving traps with four distinct behaviors: swinging as pendulums, rotating in circles, moving vertically, or snapping to your location on contact. These hooks interact with one another, inverting their movement direction upon collision.

Build Your Arsenal

Not every gun handles the same. Unlock and upgrade a variety of weapons, each with its own weight, recoil, and handling characteristics. Customize your setup to change how your fish moves, stays airborne, and accelerates to outrun the law.

Go for the 3-star rating on every level. Every bump against a wall and every extra second counts. Learn the best lines and turn a little goldfish into the most wanted gunner in the West.
