(This post is continuously updated as new reviews come out) Gunpowder's only been out a few days now, but here are a few of the reviews that we've received so far, all of which are thankfully positive. However, the game is still flying a bit under the radar so if you check out the game and like it, then please share it, review it and recommend it. Thank you all for the support! Here are the reviews: Critic Reviews -Review by We Got This Covered Quote: "For its meagre price, Gunpowder presents a ton of fun and the promise of more to come offers even more reason to check it out in its new format." -Video review by Indie Game! Quote: "At no point did I feel like the game was getting repetitive or tedious. In fact, the experience was only becoming more interesting the further I continued playing. The gameplay is refreshing." -Review Games Gazette Online Quote: "This is, in my mind, one of the "must have" puzzle games of all time, because of its simplicity and brilliance but most of all because everyone loves to blow things up." -Review by Slovakian gaming website Sector Online Entertainment Quote: "Gunpowder is among the games whose principle is easy to understand, but if you want to achieve superior performance, give you a decent take." Forgive the translation on that one, but you probably understand what the reviewer meant. -Review by The Video Game Almanac Quote: "It didnt really take me long to realise that they delivered so much more than just a few explosive puzzles. With over a hundred different levels and some really diverse and interesting level design, the game is stuffed with fun. " -Review by Dutch gaming blog Game4Me Quote: "The overall visual style is really good, the presentation is top notch and the challenge that the game offers you is very large. Here we can say nothing bad about it. One of the better puzzle games that we have encountered this year." - Review by French gaming blog Graal Quote: "This game is just excellent, it is something undeniable. In addition, the amount of levels promises long hours of play." -Review by Nerd Age Quote: "For those who love the casual genre the game runs exceptionally well and has a huge amount of content for you to explore." -Review by Tech Gaming Quote: "While PCs have a surplus of physic-based puzzlers, Gunpowers mixture of cheerful characters, chain reactions, and screen-filling explosions distinguish it from peers." -Review by Dutch gaming website Gamer.nl Quote: "While many puzzle games fall short when it comes to variety, Gunpowder knocked the competition to smithereens. This entertaining puzzle game is on the short side, but ensures through much variety and fun levels that you only stop when you see the credits, not because you're tired of the game." -Review by Just Press Start Quote: "You would think having such a hefty number of levels may work against a game like Gunpowder since quantity may overshadow quality, but thats just not the case here. Each level seems even more intelligently designed than the last, some of them REALLY testing your ability to plan and execute." -Review by Canadian Online Gamers Quote: "While the overall length isnt anything to write home about, the gameplay itself is well designed and has a steady difficulty ramp." To close, here is a lovely gif of Gunpowder in action: http://i.imgur.com/KGviDEk.gifv

Hey everyone, it has come to our attention that the visual settings for Gunpowder were by default being set at the lowest settings (fastest), which removes shadows and just generally makes the game far less pretty in all of its explosive wonder. We are going to put out a patch soon that changes that default visual setting to something far more reasonable, but for now check out your own settings to see what it is set on. Other than that, we have updated Gunpowder to make sure trading cards are being distributed and working correctly, and we are working on some issues with other languages. Thank you everyone who has reported any bugs or errors so far, and everyone who is playing the game. We hope you love it as much as we do and we'll be back with more news soon.
