About This Game

Take your time, plan your shots, and solve every room one bullet at a time.

And...

Welcome to the Aims Family

Meet Bethany, your caring wife.
Buster, your energetic son.
And Catsby, the family cat who keeps an eye on everyone.

And of course, there’s you : Gunther!
A loving father, a model citizen, an exemplary employee... and a Revolver.

In your rather unique situation, every day is a challenge:
making dinner, doing the dishes, tidying up, going to work... all one bullet at a time.
Find the right angle, master your ricochets, and prove that even a revolver can live the American dream.

Observe your surroundings, find the perfect trajectory, destroy obstacles, and discover clever ways to complete each task.
Learn to bounce your shots with precision and embrace the absurd poetry of a revolver’s daily life.

Plan your ricochets and make dinner…

🔍 A challenging ricochet-based puzzle game

Each level is an intricate puzzle where you must solve objectives using:

  • ricochets

  • environmental interactions

  • and only 6 bullets in your cylinder

Every shot is a solution waiting to be found.

The right angle changes everything.

Two rules define your entire life as a revolver

  • Never hit a living being

  • Never empty your cylinder without purpose

Break either rule?
➡️ You restart.
A fair and satisfying die & retry experience based on precision and learning.

Rivals can throw you off

🎯 A revolver's daily life is anything but boring

Throughout the week, Gunther will:

  • Help Bethany around the house

  • Survive a toxic corporate office

  • Catch groceries with a grappling hook from inside a shopping cart

  • Garden, clean, fix, and improvise

  • Deal with stamps, mechanical mice, extinguishers and many absurd contraptions

  • Face rivals embodying society’s worst traits

  • Everything becomes a ricochet puzzle.

Cleaning only takes one well-placed shot.

Key Features

  • Ricochet-based gameplay: play with bounces and angles to complete your objectives.

  • Destroy, experiment, understand your environment.

  • Manage your cylinder and discover special bullets, each with unique effects.

  • A unique blend of puzzle and shooter, where every shot matters.

  • A retro parody of the 1950s American dream, mixing satire and irony.

  • Varied environments: the house, the office, the supermarket, and the garden.

  • A carefully crafted pixel art aesthetic, inspired by the glossy optimism of post-war advertisements.

Use your grappling hook to grab groceries from Bethany’s shopping cart.
