Jet Gunner
Released Aug 2014
Jet Gunner is a 2D platform action indie game that's full of Nestalgia. Full of action, gunfights, bosses and explosions so if you're into the whole 8-Bit vibe you should love this. From the sound, to the graphics to the flicker, this should pay tribute to those classic hard as nails, run 'n' gun games.

Evaluation
Jet Gunner is a retro-style 2D action platformer that released on August 4, 2014. The store description references plans for extra levels and content updates (a Lab level, a Winter level, and a "More Updates to come..." note), but these milestones — dated to the months following the 2014 launch — appear to have all been delivered or abandoned long ago. The last developer communication was a May 12, 2015 news post in which the developer explicitly explained that planned extra content for Jet Gunner would not be coming, citing that the engine had become incompatible with the game. Instead, the developer announced they were moving on to build a "spiritual sequel" called Fist Slash: Of Ultimate Fury. No further posts, patches, or announcements have been made since May 2015. The developer has clearly moved on from this title, and no outstanding content commitments remain.
Evidence
Developer explicitly states that planned extra content for Jet Gunner will not be delivered due to engine incompatibility, and announces they are instead building a spiritual sequel (Fist Slash: Of Ultimate Fury). This is the last official communication from the developer.
Early post-launch patch reinstating Xbox controller support, with notes about upcoming bug fixes and trading cards. Developer was actively patching the game shortly after launch.
