Help and options screen

The help and options displays brief instructions on how to play the game, as well as the ability to toggle between two control schemes, and toggle sound effects or music on or off.

The control schemes swap which buttons are used for shooting and jumping between the Fire button and moving the joystick up:

  • Control Sceme A: Push the joystick upwards to jump, press the Fire button on the joystick to shoot.
  • Control Scheme B: Push the joystick upwards to fire, press the Fire button on the joystick to jump.

Gameplay

Runn ‘N’ Gunn puts the player in control of Willamina “Willie” Runn, and Wallace “Wally” Gunn, two soldiers fused into a super soldier in an experiment gone wrong. Runn and Gunn are tasked with taking control of the planet Bantaya and saving Earth.

As Runn and Gunn are a fused super soldier, only one can be controlled at a time. To switch control between Runn and Gunn, push and hold the joystick down until the character begins flashing.

Both Runn and Gunn are equipped with weapons, but both possess different combat ability and skill:

Willamina “Willie” Runn
Willie Runn can move quickly, has the ability to double-jump, but has a weaker weapon.
Wallace “Wally” Gunn
Wally Gunn moves slower than Runn and cannot jump, but has a much more powerful weapon, capable of shooting greater distance.

Runn and Gunn can interact with doors in Bataya - move to a door and pull down on the joystick to enter the door.

Keycards

Some areas of Bataya are blocked by force fields with a terminal next to them. Runn and Gunn must locate a keycard and bring it back to this terminal in order to disable the force field and progress.

If Runn and Gunn have picked up a keycard that has not yet been used, it is displayed in the top center of the screen.

Story

Willamina “Willie” Runn and Wallace “Wally” Gunn were two run-of-the-mill infantry until an army experiment went seriously wrong and fused their bodies into a super soldier.

The military covered up the accident by drafting the pair into C.O.M.M.O.D.O.R.E 64 (Commandos On Military Missions, Ominously Dangerous, Often Requiring Extermination).

This elite squad is made up of 64 of the best soldiers on the planet. They’re sent on missions to the far reaches of the galaxy to quell alien threats before they can ever reach Earth.

Their next mission is to the planet Bantaya where a terrible lifeform is planning an assault on our home planet.

Take control of both Runn ’n’ Gunn and tackle this mission to remove the threat of the Bantayan menace. Run, jump, shoot and explore your way to victory!
