Hi everyone,

I’ve just released an updated playable demo of my indie game The American Dream of Gunther Aims.

The project started as a small game jam entry in January 2025, and I’m now slowly expanding it into a full game. This demo is an early step in that process.

You can play the demo here:

About the game

The American Dream of Gunther Aims is a ricochet-based puzzle game where you play as Gunther, a revolver trying to live a normal family life.

Each level is built around strict constraints:

• six bullets

• precise angles

• environmental interactions

• and consequences for every shot

It’s a puzzle-first experience with a die & retry structure, inspired by cartoons, sitcoms, and exaggerated versions of everyday life.

At its core, the game is also about transition:
the moment after an accident, and the slow process of adapting to a new life.

Gunther doesn’t try to become someone else.
He tries to move forward, within his new limits.

This demo is still a work in progress, and not all features shown in images or GIFs are available yet.

I’d love to get feedback from players and fellow devs at this stage.

Thanks for your time

Thanks for your feedback! Clearly, we wanted a better aim assist, and we believe that the next build of the game will correct the bullet path to allow players to better refine theri trajectories

The game is fun! It's hilarious to realize you forgot your fingers in the previous rooms.

The music is creepy, but it works really well.

Great job!

The game is fun to play, and the sound fits the atmosphere well.

Overall, the atmosphere works really well.
