In Rusty Gun the aliens are confronted not by some over-muscled macho, fan of bubblegum, not some secret organization dressed in black, and not even chickenpox. This time the defender of Earth and his own private peace appears to be some casual grouchy old Earthling, who was hurt by aliens that spoiled his favorite fishing leisure by scaring all the fish away. Without any hesitation old man picked up his old and rusty rifle with only one goal — to show the alien invaders that there idea of having Earth destroyed while he has fishing full on his hands — the worst possible idea.
Explore the locations infested by alien dirtbags, keep finding secrets and new types of bullets for your rifle. Remember that the whole destiny of mankind is in your hands, and don't forget that you're just old, grumpy and love to kill.

I do agree that it's a very simple sidescrolling 2D platformer with appealing graphics that doesn't take much thought or effort, but this is where my review skews off in a different direction.
Because it's very simplistic in design, it's imperative that...

Solid platformer - unique/fun look, challenging and fluid gameplay
This indie platformer really surprised me. It's not too long, controls are still just a little bit clunky, but it was absolutely fun! I played it through twice to get all the achievements, which was a welcome plus. Some parts are challenging enough to keep your interest. Recommended!
what is wrong with the dev?! first boss has no pattern, boss hit box is twice the size of its "sprite", inputs are broken as soon as you are in a disadvantage position making your trouble double (feels made on purpose), "accidentally" looking/pointing gun up mess with the jump input..are you serious?! broken mechanics plus cheating against the player?!...
