I thought of Enter the Gungeon, but I haven't actually played it. The auto-gun sounds like a little distinct, at least...

none of those, nope! it's probably a knockoff of gungeon? i'll check around a little more.

"Journey into a surreal multiverse in pursuit of the elusive Professor Elinberg, who disappeared through a portal to the void in his library"

It looks fun but I've not actually played it.

ha, never heard of it. maybe even pre-dates Gungeon by six months (though ETG was publicized/developed for years, might've gotten early access)

...joke's on me, added to my Steam wishlist December 2015. there's too many indie games to keep track of.

Binding of Isaac took over my gaming life for the past 2 years. Too addicting.

Haha. Yeah reviews don't seem great...
Try some of the others mentioned initially? Some are more "bullet hell" than others.
There's also more in the Smash TV style. Notably one called Xeno Crisis that came out not too long ago in all sorts of formats, even Genesis/Mega Drive.

I spent ages the other day trying to remember the name of a really old game. All I had in my head to go on was - you're chasing someone or they're chasing you?- side scrolling maybe?- shopping trolleys?
I finally worked it out after lots of googling and youtubing. Gonna leave this here and bet myself one of you lot knows it immediately and I should have just asked here like map did.

my first thought was Metrocross but doesn't really fit. how old is old?
― thomasintrouble, Thursday, 7 May 2020 09:57 (three years ago) link
oh wow of course. Keystone Kapers right? haven't played that since I was about 6
― thomasintrouble, Thursday, 7 May 2020 13:41 (three years ago) link
Yes, Keystone Kapers. Good fun but like many games of that era absolutely rock solid. I spent months playing that and Tutankham.
