About This Game

You are Gunther.
A revolver.

He may not have always been this way.
But today, this is what he is.

Gunther lives with it. And he has no choice.
So he does what he can: he moves forward… and he improves.

Not toward an extraordinary life.
Toward a normal one.

Being a good father.
A present husband.
A reliable employee.
Earning enough to support his family.
Standing upright. Without making waves.

A simple dream.
An immense dream.

Especially when you’re a revolver.

At first, everything is chaos.
Shots are raw, imprecise, destructive.
Then come control, anticipation…
and the possibility of another 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 (new bullet types will allow you to better manage your cylinder at the start of each level)

Every shot is a solution to discover…

or a mistake to own.

The right angle changes everything.

Two rules define your existence as a revolver

  • Never hit a living being

  • Never empty your cylinder without purpose

Break one of these rules?
You start over.

A fair and demanding die & retry experience,
where failure is part of learning.

Rivals can throw you off

The daily life of a revolver is anything but ordinary

Throughout the week, Gunther will have to:

  • Help Bethany around the house

  • Survive a toxic corporate office

  • Do the groceries using grappling hooks… from Bethany’s shopping cart

  • Garden, clean, fix, and improvise

  • Operate stamp machines, mechanical mice, fire extinguishers, and other absurd devices

  • Face rivals embodying the worst flaws of society

    Everything becomes a ricochet puzzle.

Cleaning only takes one well-placed shot.

Key Features

  • Ricochet-based gameplay: master angles and rebounds to reach your goals

  • Learn through experimentation: test, observe, and use your environment

  • Manage your cylinder: only six bullets, with special ammo offering varied 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.
