The soundtrack for the game is also top-notch, as it is a quirky and upbeat mix of hip-hop, electronic, and movie score vibes, so there is definitely something in here for everyone. Plus, the animation for when you die and have to restart at the last checkpoint you reached is seamless, so sometimes you don’t even realize that you restarted. For all of the flashiness of the light and particle effects, the animations in RunGunJumpGun are incredibly smooth and fluid, so I had no lag on my iPhone 7. As I mentioned, the colors in the game are bold and vivid, which makes them give great contrast to the black background in the game. It’s clear that the developers put a lot of care into the aesthetics of the game, from the merciless level layouts and the character sprites. Despite the pixelated art style, RunGunJumpGun is packed with incredible amounts of detail, from the textures of the environments to the highlights and shadows of objects and hazards that are scattered about.

The visuals just take me back to my childhood in front of my Sega Genesis, where I spent a lot of time on whatever platformers and other games my parents got me. Visually, RunGunJumpGun is a flamboyant display of retro pixel art graphics and vibrant colors (think Super Metroid), and I love it. When I saw RunGunJumpGun on the App Store, I knew I had to check it out for myself because it seemed to be right up my alley from the screenshots and game description. I was a big fan of the twitch reflex games, even though I am not as skilled as many other players, so naturally, when you combine twitch reflex with platformer, I can’t resist. In recent years, there’s been a rise in the twitch reflex games as well, at least ever since Super Hexagon hit the App Store. But of course, in this day and age, sometimes just having a classic, traditional platformer isn’t interesting enough if you’re looking for something different. Since I grew up in the early ‘90s, platformers are one of my favorite genres when it comes to games, as that was mostly what I played back then. If you enjoyed games like Blitz Breaker, then chances are high that you’ll get a kick out of RunGunJumpGun. People often exaggerate on the internet, though, so who can really say if consumers will actually rebel? But with both buyers and streamers left upset, it doesn't seem like this action stands to please anyone but the higher-ups at Twitch and Amazon.RunGunJumpGun ($2.99) by Gambitious Digital Entertainment is a frantic, fast-paced twitchy reflex platformer that is as flashy as it is fun.

Others are resolved to cancel their Amazon Prime subscriptions, an act only further motivated by the prince increase Prime will undergo this year.
