The goal is simple: get from the starting point to the end goal by jumping and using your jetpack and shooting whatever happens to be in your way while collecting the “Atomiks” along the way, which you need a certain amount of in order to unlock the next worlds. RunGunJumpGun is a level-based game, and at the moment there are three different worlds that each have their own unique challenges scattered all throughout the levels, and there are about 40 stages in each world (over 120 levels total). ![]() The soundtrack for the game is also top-notch, as it is a quirky and upbeat mix of hip-hop, electronic, and movie score vibes, so there is definitely something in here for everyone. Plus, the animation for when you die and have to restart at the last checkpoint you reached is seamless, so sometimes you don’t even realize that you restarted. For all of the flashiness of the light and particle effects, the animations in RunGunJumpGun are incredibly smooth and fluid, so I had no lag on my iPhone 7. As I mentioned, the colors in the game are bold and vivid, which makes them give great contrast to the black background in the game. It’s clear that the developers put a lot of care into the aesthetics of the game, from the merciless level layouts and the character sprites. Despite the pixelated art style, RunGunJumpGun is packed with incredible amounts of detail, from the textures of the environments to the highlights and shadows of objects and hazards that are scattered about. The visuals just take me back to my childhood in front of my Sega Genesis, where I spent a lot of time on whatever platformers and other games my parents got me. ![]() Visually, RunGunJumpGun is a flamboyant display of retro pixel art graphics and vibrant colors (think Super Metroid), and I love it. When I saw RunGunJumpGun on the App Store, I knew I had to check it out for myself because it seemed to be right up my alley from the screenshots and game description. I was a big fan of the twitch reflex games, even though I am not as skilled as many other players, so naturally, when you combine twitch reflex with platformer, I can’t resist. In recent years, there’s been a rise in the twitch reflex games as well, at least ever since Super Hexagon hit the App Store. But of course, in this day and age, sometimes just having a classic, traditional platformer isn’t interesting enough if you’re looking for something different. Since I grew up in the early ‘90s, platformers are one of my favorite genres when it comes to games, as that was mostly what I played back then. If you enjoyed games like Blitz Breaker, then chances are high that you’ll get a kick out of RunGunJumpGun. Of the range of tools available to conflict resolution practitioners to manage intractable conflicts, none of them is arguably more durable over the long term - yet risky - than the creation and nurturing of democracy.RunGunJumpGun ($2.99) by Gambitious Digital Entertainment is a frantic, fast-paced twitchy reflex platformer that is as flashy as it is fun. Democracy is promising because the principles, institutions, and rules associated with democratic practice seek to manage inevitable social conflicts in deeply divided and less conflicted societies alike. Democracy as a system of political decision making is in many ways a system of conflict management in which the outcomes are unknown but the fundamental rules of the game provide a safe arena in which to compete.Īdditional insights into democracy and conflict management are offered by Beyond Intractability project participants.įor this reason, many deeply divided post-war societies in the 1990s have turned to democracy as a way to exit intractable conflict.ĭemocracy provides predictable procedures in which collective decisions can be taken without the risk that losing a political battle will mean grave misfortune, imprisonment, or even loss of life. From El Salvador (1994) to East Timor (2002), countries that were formerly trapped in violent conflict have become fledging - if not quite "consolidated" - democracies. This essay explores the linkages between democracy and conflict management as an exit to deadly strife in societies deeply divided by intractable conflicts. The essay highlights some inherent problems in turning to democratic governance after a protracted conflict and how different types of democracy may affect relations among conflicting groups. ![]()
