Alpha Guns

Why We Picked Alpha Guns

Alpha Guns is a short platforming errand, and it does not pretend to be a campaign. There is no inventory screen to learn, which keeps the pace up. The level is built around the route through the level, and the checkpoints are close enough that a mistake costs seconds. We kept it because a level here is a five-minute promise rather than a forty-hour one. The page's own numbers: 144 plays, 5.0 out of 5 from 1 ratings, and 181 of 183 on the adventure shelf.

How to Play

The page documents very little, so these are the things worth knowing before you spend time on it:

• Ignore the surrounding furniture and start with the game's own menu, if it has one.
• Reach the end of the level with what you picked up on the way.
• Check the walls for passages before deciding a room is finished.

Editor’s Note

Better on a keyboard; touch works but the jumps are tighter than they should be. Fullscreen matters more here than on the adventure shelf, since the visible edge of the level is information.
