Loved these impressions! Thank you for posting them. Now debating whether to buy the game soon (it's on sale now) or wait for a bundle (I know, I know...).
Just spent a little time with Jet Gunner - played through to the second level. Definitely like what I'm seeing so far.
Game is a 2D run-and-gun/platformer in the vein of classic NES titles. (Developer describes it as "full of Nestalgia".) Feels more authentic than other recent faux-retro offerings (8-Bit Commando, Oniken). Visuals in particular nail the NES aesthetic (resolution/use of colors/etc.), with a look reminiscent of games like Shatterhand.
Story's pretty straightforward: It's the year 19XX. There's been an attack on a major city, and the master brain that controls the world's robots is responsible. (Apparently it's gone insane.) Your mission is to fight your way through an army of killer robots and take it offline for good. Cue Contraesque run-and-gun action.
Gameplay moves at a brisk pace, controls feel snappy (playing with a gamepad). Nice variety of weapons pickups. Player can also pick up an assortment of temporary "option"-type drones for added firepower. Character can take multiple hits before dying. Health pickups drop from enemies and after killing minibosses on Normal difficulty. Levels are long, broken up into smaller stages with varied environments to keep things fresh.
Jet Gunner's unique hook is the jetpack. Double-jumping enables you to fly or hover by holding/tapping the jump button. A flight meter determines how long you can stay airborne. Meter recharges relatively fast on Normal. Feels very intuitive while playing. Levels are designed to take advantage of the jetpack - nothing especially involved or tricky so far, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were more challenging bits further in.
Options settings are pretty minimal. You can play windowed or fullscreen, and select between a couple of keyboard control schemes or Xbox gamepad support. (Can't remap specific keys.) Game has two difficulty levels, Normal and Hardcore. Normal is moderately challenging. If you prefer "NES tough", go with hardcore - it promises tougher bosses, faster jetpack depletion and no health pickups.
And now I've spent more time writing about the game than I have playing it.If you enjoy sidescrolling run-and-gun games or NES-era retro titles, check it out. It may not be Shovel Knight-tier (from what I understand, Shovel Knight's godly), but what I've played so far is definitely respectable.
Great impressions and the overall impressions so far on Steam for this look good. Gonna pick it up
Nice thanks for the impressions and the Giveaways. Game has an interesting style to it that I've never seen much games match. I still don't have much a clue to how it plays much haha. Someone here should stream it sometime!
9+ hours in, having the time of my life.
I haven't had this much fun with a first person game since Portal 2, even going back to levels and 3-star-ing them is just as fun as playing them for the first time. It's not like anything that I've ever played, and it's just brilliant. Nailing every shot and jump makes me feel like a goddamn badass. The last game that made me feel like that was Super Meat Boy, one of my all-time favorite platformers.
I can not recommend this underappreciated gem enough. If you wanna play something that requires precision, patience, and you know how to play with M&KB, then go for it. It's worth more than its price.

Capy needs to make a capybara dating game.
Seriously, they are uguu as fuck:
I will romance the fuck out of those capybaras the day Capy does that. But man I just want one to hug right now after looking at those pictures.
Ohhhhh so that's why people kept going on about alpacas in this thread! xD
Going by some of Neogaf's past threads, I'm surprised someone hasn't made a dolphin dating sim yet.
...please tell me that's not actually a thing. >_>
Edit: This post just had to be at the top of the page, didn't it? ._.

I appreciate the quick note. Its really hard to get a feel for the game just from the store page, but this sounds really cool!
what the fuck, I did a cartoon style double take when you said that and had to scroll up to see if it really was mokoi

It's (probably) not a thing yet. But now I'm sure you just gave someone an idea.

RE: Banned peoples avatars sometimes disappearing:
As JaseC said;
Whether someone's avatar disappears when they are banned or not appears to be a random thing, and is not connected to the length of their ban. When users are banned, they are moved to a single banned user group; the group is just called Banned Users. This is why all banned user accounts just say "Banned"--Hitokage tried to figure out a way to make a second group for perma-banned users at one point so perma-bans could be noted as perms to avoid us getting questions about whether bans were perm or not, but he never quite figured it out. Ban durations are separate from the fact of being banned, and there are no statuses that are true for perma-banned members that aren't true for temp banned members.
We have no idea why the avatar disappearance thing happens. I think it is at least a little bit related to when GAF switched over from external avatars to internally hosted avatars, and something related to the settings for that.

I assumed anything on Steam would have Steam Keys on the Groupees bundle. I assumed wrong, so someone else can enjoy this!

Any dating sim rougelike-likes? I can't check tags right now.
It's awesome and everything nbnt is true.. It's pretty much to twitch FPS shooters what Super Meat Boy is to twitch platformers...
Perfection.
I fought with the Steam version of Bloodrayne for an hour trying to get it to work, gave up and now I'm downloading the GOG executable.
Wouldn't be surprised if the Steam versions brokenness was the reason it's a GOG key.

Reason for the change for now.(also jifs in that link)
I'm sure this has been answered already for you, but Yay! It's a solid game, and you can just ignore that fan service junk since it's not necessary to play em. I'm not a Suda fan mainly because I've never played on of his games. However, from the brief I played it I feel in love with the combat.
Also everyone thinking about KiD watch corrosivefrost webm

I received a response from Bethesda's front-line support thanking me for my feedback, which is odd considering the subject. At least I received a response this time, I suppose. Casimir PM'd me the addresses of a few of Bethesda's marketing higher-ups, so I sent (a corrected version of) the e-mail to them, too, but added a disclaimer stating that it's a copy of the e-mail I'd earlier sent to Bethesda's general enquiries address and apologised for the heavy-handed approach, because while I'm persistent, I'm not a dick. Here's hoping something happens with Quake Wars' listing in the near future.

It's been a while since I played it, but basically you take on a mission (Norma?) that's either getting X stars or beating X enemies. Once you meet that requirement you go back to your home tile and get the next one. First one to 5 (?) wins.
Gunstarheroes

Basically, you need to collect 10 stars for the first goal. After that, you either choose beating enemies, or collecting stars. Both of these numbers are tracked in your little HUD in whatever corner your character is in. Its not too complicated.

No it's a Anime first now made into a hit rhythm game.
So you just have to get a certain number of stars or beat certain number of enemies to win the game. Seems easy, although I lost my first game
Another question. The cards that I choose before the game, are those cards that I can get from those green fields?
No, It's a voice only anime girl music idol group before an anime and a game.

Define "button wanking"?
There's a boss or two where you end up having to mash a button during a QTE type event, but outside of that, not a lot that I remember.
Record to HDD using Nvidia Shadowplay.
Use batch file to run mp4 throuth ffmpeg.exe creating webm.
Upload to host, post on GAF.

Everything is based on stars or enemies.
Once you've met the quota, you either need a roll to land EXACTLY on someone else's home or you need to pass yours and answer "yes" to the stop at your home prompt. This will level you up. First person to have 5 stars and meet their final goal wins.
As far as the cards, the cards you choose are put in the community deck. So yes, in a way. But you also have a chance to draw a card someone else put in the deck.

Every player chooses a deck of cards at the start but then they all get mixed together into a pile which everyone can draw from.

I saw this asked earlier but no response was made,
Does anyone know how groupees handles gift purchases (specifically the current build a bundle). If you gift it to yourself and redeem it will you have access to the individual keys?
