Happy Gunman: Online 3D Shooter with a Dinosaur Chase

Description

The runner in Happy Gunman never stops, and that one fact decides everything else. You can't slow down, hide or choose a direction. What you can do is aim, and the whole game is built on how well you use that single freedom.

What you control when you can't steer

Movement is automatic, so the crosshairs are your only tool. You slide them over a pursuer and fire with a click. Because nothing else competes for your attention, every miss is purely a miss of judgment or timing, with no awkward controls to blame.

Choosing who to shoot first

With several enemies behind you, the order of your shots matters more than speed. Clearing the one closest to you is usually safer than lining up a tidy shot on one that is still far off. A quick, slightly sloppy shot at a near target often beats a careful one at a distant target, because the near one is the pursuer that reaches you first.

Dinosaurs in the crowd

Dinosaurs join the pursuit as well, which makes the chase stranger than a plain gunfight. A wave only ends once everything in it is down, so a target you skip while chasing small ones will still be there when you run out of easier shots.

Common ways a run ends

• Fixating on one stubborn enemy while others close in.
• Moving the crosshairs a long way between shots instead of working through nearby targets.
• Panic-clicking at empty space instead of settling on a target first.

One mechanic, no steering

Happy Gunman is a one-mechanic shooter. There is no steering, and the only skill on offer is aim. That keeps a run short and easy to restart, but it also means variety comes only from the enemies you face.
