Pros
Pro Good touch screen controls
The touch screen controls are accurate and work very well for this platformer.
Pro Tough as nails
Very challenging game in the same vein as Mega Man for platforming, boss battles, and gameplay.
Pro No in-app-purchases
Entire game is available for one up front purchase.
Pro Playable in portrait or landscape mode
Transitions smoothly between the two. It's helpful for navigating or backtracking across a level to orient the screen depending on your direction of travel.
Pro 16-bit graphics
Much nostalgia - but this also lowers the bar for required specs, meaning your old Galaxy S or whatever can run it.
Cons
Con Death means a restart at the beginning of the level, no halfway points
Gunman Clive has zero mid level checkpoints, which means upon death the player will have to restart all over again at the beginning of the level.
Con Shop is difficult to navigate
When using the shop to purchase items, the windows overlap each other, which forces constant tapping back in forth from the players inventory to the shops. For characters that are highly dependent on the shop, this can become irritating fast.
