Gunman Clive Sales Pass 400,000 Across All Platforms

I still need to get Gunman Clive 2

That's really amazing to hear. Congrats to him. I love both games.

I have Clive 2, haven't played it yet, hoping the level design is a lot more inspired than the first. Regardless, glad to hear of his success.

17% EU??? Why do we suck when it comes to buying good games?? Feels especially bad here in the UK sigh

I have both and love them both

no surprise one of the best 2$ game on the e-shop

Outstanding! I couldn't be happier for this guy. He proves what an essentially one-man team can really do, and sets a standard so many other "one-man teams" fail to live up to in the eShops.

I bought both of these, by the way.

I haven't bought 2 yet but GC was $2 well spent. I wish the developer much deserved success.

Wow that's amazing. I bought the original and 2 but haven't spent much time in it. But I will when I have enough time.

He could get more sales by porting it to WiiU, PS4, & Vita tho.

I'm a big fan of both Gunman Clive games. I'm happy for Hörberg's success. For their low price, everyone should get these games.

Proud owner and supporter of both games. Simple fun and a lot of polish for being a one man team.

Now I want Chieftain Bob patched in the first one. He really makes the game feel different.

I love both these games. Best $5 I've ever spent on video games.

I found the first one a bit better than the sequel, although the sequel has bumpin' music and an overall more varied soundtrack. This is an example of how eShop games should look, both in terms of pace and price.

Have both games and purchased the second game mainly to support the guy (and for $2.99, you can do FAR worse).

Plus the guy is from Sweden, where my company and most of my co-workers hail from .

Havent finish second, but the first one is one of the best games on the system

Would definitely double dip if they bring 1 & 2 to Vita.

The EU would like to formally apologise to Mr Hörberg and all other developers making genuinely great games. We simply cannot resist the same Fifa game every 12 months and superb First Person Shooters such as Aliens: Colonial Marines.

We want to buy good games, but we just can't help ourselves.

We're sorry.

I guess I'm part of the "nice bump", since I bought Gunman Clive the day 2 came out. I'll definitely pick up 2 once I beat the first one!

I bought the first, my first eShop purchase I believe. Lovely little game, unfortunately my 3DS XL is broke at the minute, the hinge, but if the sequel was to make an appearance on Wii U... hint hint By the way @IxC I'm from Northern Ireland and I've never in my life bought a Fifa game and I'm currently playing Pikmin 3, so we ain't all bad my friend

Count me in those first few percentage points for Gunman Clive 2.

man them EU sales are way too low!

I helped. Surprisingly amazing games.

That's GREAT! Both games are really GOOD & totally worth the BUY!!!!

@MJKOP me 3, Dublin here and I have never EVER bought a Fifa or cod or any of those mass market yearly games. People in Europe just don't know what real gaming is or even what their machines under their tv's can do now a days I guess.

@Ninty4thewin Indies sell well on Playstation platforms too ya know

@readyletsgo

Both games deserve these sales and more.

Really awesome to see everyone bought it on 3DS and not on the mobile... Anyway, the 3D is really nice here too so it's another plus for the 3DS and only the 3DS.

@WaveBoy Lol, you are like the only one I know that doesn't like it!

Man, I'd hate to find out how low the Australian sales figures are as I assume that we've been plonked with the Europeans in those sales figures, but I have to take my hat off to this fella. He's a one man programmer/designer/publisher and even he takes the time and effort to ensure a release for the Australian market while much larger companies (cough Activision) don't bother at all.

I really appreciate your commitment, and I hope that you will continue to release your games to your (few) Aussie fans. I hope that you've at least been able to make SOME money from us.

Considering that Bertil's a lone horse (plus his brother, who produces the music for the games), I strongly doubt that it will be worth Bertil's time and investment to port the game to other platforms. Perhaps if there was a larger publisher that would be willing to snap up the rights to the games and port them to other systems, I can see that happening (in theory), but I would imagine that Bertil would be burnt out from having worked on these games for so long, and would much rather move on to working on to new projects.

@BenAV Then @Waveboy is in good company!

Picked up both games when GC2 launched. I had a lot of fun with the first one and beat it though I haven't touched the second one yet. The only thing I didn't like were the jumpy mushrooms.

Really enjoyed both games. Glad to have contributed to those sales.

Its nice to see that a game just done correctly gets its day in the sun. Congrats! Hope to see more from you soon. Its funny when I played Gunman Clive on Android for the first time I said to myself, "This would be an excellent 3DS game." It had not been announced yet for 3DS and it seemed a few months later there it was. I'm so happy cause it was a nice experience. I actually liked it more than the Catlevania game on 3DS. Don't get me wrong I liked Castlevania also. I just had more fun with Gunman Clive.

@Great_Gonzalez ikr, Apparently all we like is CoD and FIFA...

I plan to mainly play Download-only and e-Shop only games on my future N3DS standard edition when NoA eventually launches it. So I'll probably get/buy this alongside the first by the end of the year.

I just bought and beat the sequel last night. Wonderful game.

Both of these are fantastic games! And you can get BOTH for ONLY $5! If you haven't yet, you're doing it wrong.

GMC feels artful and charming. The controls are tight, but they are slowed to match the more relaxed pace and presentation it aims for and succeeds in capturing. The visuals use a refreshingly minimal presentation that also helps set a back-to-basics simplicity. Overall this game successfully flashes-back to many people's fond memory of the 8-bit video game era while adding the modern-day independent developer's signature minimalist art style.

Some trolls may not contribute anything original, saying things that are absolutely forgettable, formulating bland ideas, leaving comments that aren't well thought-out. Overall their persona comes across very immature. Honestly why would anyone pay any attention to trolls when people can play the far superior role of deciding a game's worth for themselves? It's as easy as 1,2,3 (OK, it wouldn't hurt to listen to fair reviews either as long as readers don't mind all the time-wasting trolls).

For some unappreciative stubborn trolls they may ignore all considerations of a game such as creative visuals, charm, stage design and controls only to limit themselves to a narrow-minded slim bandwidth of gaming spectrum that, however good they may be judged, are the same game being paid for a second time and offer nothing new by definition.
Trolls are a waste of time.
