Gunman Clive

About

Gunman Clive is a side-scrolling platform shooter with a wild west twist. You play as a sharpshooting hero navigating 16 levels of tumbleweed and chaos to rescue a mayor’s daughter from outlaws. The gameplay mixes basic platforming with bullet-spraying combat as you leap over traps, blast enemies, and tackle oversized bosses. Three characters offer slight playstyle shifts while a sketch-like 3D art style gives everything a rough-hewn, hand-drawn feel. The game’s charm comes from its retro sensibilities and visual flair. The art direction leans into a shaded, pencil-drawn aesthetic that stands out against typical pixel art or polished 3D. Boss fights are the highlight, each with distinct moves and a mix of strategy and reflexes required to beat them. Despite a 2012 release, it’s still available on multiple platforms including Switch and mobile, letting players tackle its challenge wherever they are. The simplicity of its mechanics paired with creative level design keeps it feeling fresh for quick bursts or longer sessions.
