C-Q-Gunnin' is a small NES-stylized (for real, palette limitations included) top-down, turn-based, grid-based strategy game, with lots of close, lots of quarters, and especially lots of gunnin'.

But just talking about it doesn't quite sell it yet? Well look at these colorful pixels on your screen!

Feedback is much appreciated, this is my first project that's even come close to a release!

Featuring several piece types filling various roles, 8 levels of scaling difficulty and length (plus bonus level!), each with plenty of guys with guns, women with weapons, boys with bullets, people with- you get the point, plenty of C-Q-Gunnin' to do! There's also a never-before-seen Endless mode! Battle for as long as you can, beware the constant ticking of the timer.
But there's more! C-Q-Gunnin' includes a level editor to create your own missions. (these are currently limited to one screen in size.) Exported levels are extremely tiny and can be shared to your heart's content. And besides the current size limitation can have every feature present in the campaign levels!

Since none of y'all bad kiddos will read the readme, controls are as follows:
Z - confirm (called A ingame)
X - cancel (called B ingame)
ENTER/ESC - open the quick menu from in battle
ENTER also confirms selections in the title menus and ESCAPE cancels some operations
ARROWS - just about what you'd expect them to do (necessary in the config menu)
MOUSE CONTROLS
Clicking on a tile is effectively the exact same as moving the cursor there and pressing Z.
Menu options can also now be clicked, with the exception of the config menu.

Maybe later I'll make a cool NES style pdf instruction booklet, those are always fun to read right? Or am I just a nerd?

An ingame help page can be accessed from the in-battle quick menu, I'd highly recommend reading just the first couple of pages in it as it explains basic gameplay help!

Github release here!

NOOOO it emojied my catface!!!
Anyway prerelease version 0.2.0 is now out!
New features:
Full ingame mouse control
Move range and attack range are now both shown separately on the screen around your piece
You can now click on any tile you would normally be able to reach and your piece will automagically move there
There is also now technically touchscreen support though the game is in no way mobile ready, and because my pc loves combusting I'd need to borrow somebody else's cpu cycles to actually compile an android APK or AAB

Also there are now nice little icons on the prebundled windows executables, they are my lil guys and I love them

RELEASE v1.0.0 is OUT!
this is the first time I've gotten a project to a releasable state, so I'd much appreciate if you could check it out and give your opinion.
New features from v0.2.2 include stats, mission progression, endless mode, and a secret bonus level if you can score 100% completion.
