Gun Mayhem

About Gun Mayhem

Gun Mayhem is a free 2D shooting platformer you can play in your browser, where you knock rivals off the stage with firearms before they push you off. There are no health bars to wear down. You win a round by sending opponents past the edge of the screen more often than they send you.

When you play Gun Mayhem online, you can take on computer-controlled fighters in Campaign, where each win unlocks a tougher level. You can also build your own match in Custom Game. Crates drop onto the map during every fight with weapons, power-ups and short boosts, so the balance can change fast.

Before a match, you can dress your fighter with a hat and shirt, pick a handgun and choose a perk such as speed boost, no recoil or extra ammo. Nothing needs to be downloaded, so you can start a round right away.
