Gatlin' - The Annual Big Comprehensive Holiday Update #1 (1.0.2)

Introducing the first-ever "The Annual Big Comprehensive Holiday Update." We're starting off relatively small this year, but we hope to make this a big thing for Gatlin' in the future once/if we pick up more of a community.

Highlights:

OST is finally here! Thank DJIVVI (aka Cadence Hira) for joining Gatlin' as the composer! Some levels still have placeholder music, but over time we plan on covering all the bases!
New world! Introducing "Art's Rejects." These levels are various polished concepts that were taken out of story mode for being on the crueler side.
New boss! Meet "Credits." Credits is a physics-based boss battle that ideally makes giving proper credits not annoying! Well, not annoying in the traditional sense.
New boss! Meet "Damn." Damn is a unique boss fight. It resides at the end of Art's Rejects. We'll leave it at that.
The Steam assets for Gatlin' have been overhauled to seem slightly less crummy!

Eight new achievements!

What's Gatlin'?

Gatlin' is a physics-based platforming bullet hell where you are the bullet hell! Fling your way across dozens of levels with your trusty gatling gun of doom. Try your best not to die, but believe me, you are going to be dying.

Gameplay

You live, you die, you live again. In Gatlin', your main methods of problem solving are your eyes and learning from your mistakes. Upon dying, you are sent back to the start of the level to run through it again until you do it right.

I hear you asking, "What causes me to die?" That is an oddly-morbid question, but a question I will answer nonetheless. You'll die to classical art, you'll die to spikes, you'll die to weird demented clones, and you'll die to tears. By the way, that last thing is both figurative and literal.

Boss Fights

The boss fights in Gatlin' are sentient bullet hells gone rogue. Fear not! They have patterns and tricks that you will likely get accustomed to.

Each boss also reveals c r i s p y lore and each boss harbors an unforgettable personality - so that's pretty neat I guess.

Endgame

The endgame of Gatlin' is a distinctive twist on the existing gameplay. After the conclusion of the main story, level modifiers and endgame worlds are unlocked. Want levels to be more difficult? We've got you covered. Imagine Hell itself. Good work. Now imagine Hell without gravity and now every surface is covered in soap. Get the picture?

Does Hell not sound appealing enough for you? Understandable, everyone's a critic. Instead, we offer a wide array of eccentric and ever-expanding levels, worlds, and challenges to partake in.

Speedrunning

Gatlin' was and will always be designed with all types of player in mind. If you wish to go slow or fast, the level design panders to all. That said, we highly encourage speedrunning.
