Mr Superfire

Looking back at the retro gaming scene, the run 'n' game titles performed pretty well and can still be found in the modern market in forms like Mr Superfire. Whether it's a codename or his actual name, Mr is the main character of the game. He's a no-nonsense kind of guy with guns that have transformative properties. It's his only defense against the onslaught of human and robotic forces that will stand in his way to prevent him from completing his mission. But he's got you to direct his movement so that he can handle anything and take out anybody.

About Mr Superfire

Run 'n' gun games can be considered mindless fun and there's nothing wrong with that, especially when people want to unwind after a long day. This is a game that doesn't ask a lot of you but still throws a lot of action your way. It's on the slower side when it comes to these types of games and so there's more focus on strategy and platforming to make it through the waves. You can do it with enough practice or just by powering through which is sometimes how you should play these types of games since it's easy to fall and get back up again.

How to Play

Mr Superfire is a 2D run 'n' gun game that you can play with the mouse and just the keyboard.

Controls

• Up Arrow/Left Mouse Button - Jump (tap again for Double Jump)
• Left Arrow - Move Left
• Right Arrow - Move Right
• Down Arrow - Drop Through Platforms

When it comes to aiming and firing, the hero will do that automatically. When enemies are onscreen, he will aim and shoot at the closest one to his position in intervals. The goal of each level (or world) is to clear all the rooms and make it to the end.

Mr Superfire is a trained soldier who starts off with a basic handgun. As he enters each room, enemies will spawn in at different locations and elevations. You'll need to jump around to avoid their fire while also being in a position where you can have a clear shot at the targets. When all of them have been destroyed, you can collect the key and unlock the door to the next room. Enemies will be a mix of ground units and air units that will shoot a mix of projectiles from regular bullets to explosive rockets.

When enemies are destroyed, they'll drop useful items. These usually include coins, but can also be weapon parts for upgrades, and power-ups that affect your shots and health. There's the chance that while moving to the next room, you'll get the chance to choose an upgrade for your ammo such as making it split or allowing it to pierce multiple targets. These upgrades only last for the level.

At the character screen, you can equip Mr Superfire with several pieces of gear: A Gun, Ammo, Headwear, and Armor. You can earn these from Ability Chests for completing levels or by buying them with the coins you've collected.

Tips and Tricks

It may be a run 'n' gun game, but everything is more contained so you can't just blast through. When you enter a room, determine which areas give you the most coverage while still allowing you to get clean shots. Observe the firing intervals of enemies so that you'll know when it's safe to jump and move.
