Developer PixelHeart has teamed up with Brazilian devs Statera Studio to announce their first game, Guns N’ Runs, appropriately enough a retro-styled run and gun platformer.
In Guns N’ Runs, you take control of 8 skillful members of the Conspiracy Squad, in a stylish run and gun, totally drawn by hand in pixel art, at the battle against a prodigy technopath and his army of robots.
Help our protagonists in the invasion of a bunker in the middle of the Atacama desert, in a capture and rescue mission full of challenges and dangers.The controls are simple and accessible – you can jump, shoot, dash and use the special – but make no mistake! The game possesses layers of progression that require a greater depth of skills to advance to the next levels. In this game, you will learn a new lesson with each death.
So, prepare yourself to overcome your limits.
Described as a “stylish platformer, action and shooter game” Guns N’ Runs has meticulous challenges, boss battles, and individual stories for the eight characters in the game. Physical versions of the game (Nintendo Switch and PS4) are on pre-order and will be available in Q4 2022, while digital release is also set to take place for Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4 and Steam.
Key features of Guns N’ Runs include:
- Choose your character from the 8 members of the Conspiracy Squad.
- More than 200 challenges to overcome.
- 23 bosses, each more difficult than the last.
- Easy to understand controls that require mastery.

In addition, limited editions of Guns N’ Runs will also be available, only from PixelHeart’s online store, with 2000 units for Nintendo Switch, 1000 units for PlayStation 4. These editions feature a unique cover and goodies.
