I’m gonna make you an offer you cannot refuse… The offer being a crazy little side-scrolling platformer called Guns, Gore and Cannoli! Set in the prohibition-era of New York. The game follows hardened mobster Vinnie Cannoli as he and his trusty tommy gun try to reclaim Thugtown in a mafia war, with some brains-craving undead thrown in for good measure.
Inspired by classic side-scrollers of the 80s, Guns, Gore and Cannoli won Best PC Game at Casual Connect Amsterdam in February 2015 thanks to it’s over-the-top action, stunning hand-drawn backdrops and hilarious gangster dialogue. “Imagine the Godfather playing Metal Slug” the game describes itself on its Steam page and features:
- Action-Packed Gameplay
- Prepare yourself for a non-stop, action-packed, completely over-the-top, platform game where you have to fight, shoot, blast and kick your way through a deeply engrossing story. Not only will you have to take on the undead, but also rivalling gangsters and government officials.
- Epic Gangster Story
- Beneath the city overrun by zombies, there’s a dark story of conspiracy and betrayal. Unravel the sneaky mafia ways and government conspiracy while you try to look for your lost pal and for answers about the zombie-outbreak.
- Beautifully hand-drawn 2d graphics and animations
