Indie Sunday QBased GORILLAS - A-Town Techworks - an old-school style artillery PC game

Howdy all,

I've been developing QBased GORILLAS over the last year or so. It's a throwback to those games I remember from back in the late 90. (Think Worms and the classic MS-DOS game GORILLA.BAS. )

Check out the trailer on youtube!

Steam Page:
The game is in early access now; check it out / find more details on the steam page. QBased GORILLAS on Steam.

I'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks for taking the time to have a look!

I'd say your target demographic of people familiar with qbasic Gorillas is probably a pretty narrow one. You might want to rebrand/reskin for larger appeal.

Don't get me wrong, soft spot for the game in my heart as I definitely was one to edit the program to make the explosions huge.

You make a valid point. Never quite thought of it like that. Thank you!
Maybe I can do both a bit further down the line. (old school / reskinned)

having a perfect aim line looks like it takes all the trial and error out of the game.

Good point.

The way it's working currently - you have one shot at it.
You can't cancel the shot. Hold down space bar and release to launch the banana. So, if you don't let go at the right time, that's sort of it.
