Gunbrick is a unique puzzle platformer that was designed to be played in a 50 by 50 pixel screen. You control a block, which has a gun on one side of it. You must rotate the block and use the gun to navigate your way to the end of each stage. The gun can be used to destroy certain objects, or propel yourself in the opposite direction that it is fired. Since you are required to figure out your block's correct orientation to overcome obstacles, you must think before you move.
