When I originally downloaded Gunhouse I thought it was going to be a colorful, wacky arcade shooter. I did not expect it to be a matching puzzle tower defense game…

You rearrange blocks of the same color to combine them and then move to the left or right to turn them into weapons. You also only get a few seconds at a time to do this. Despite knowing the mechanics and how they work, I constantly felt like I had no idea what I was doing, or if I was even doing it correctly. Perhaps it’s because of the short time limit to form your defenses, giving a sense of panic, making it easy to make mistakes.

I personally really liked the art style and aesthetic. In my opinion this is Gunhouse’s strongest point.

If you like puzzle games, maybe give this a try?
