Gunpowder is a Wild West themed physics puzzler that blends addictive timed puzzles and explosive gameplay that will delight gamers of all ages.

When the dastardly Boss Grimshaw swindles the innocent townspeople of their gold to fund his railroad, a lone hero emerges: Incendio. Inspired by the tale of Robin Hood, Incendio sets out to make Grimshaw pay through the nose. Armed with their wits and a keg of gunpowder, players must help Incendio liberate the town's stolen gold by blasting Grimshaw's safes and piggy banks sky high through a series of carefully choreographed chained explosions.   

Gunpowder ​ is an intuitive-yet-challenging puzzle game that’s fun for all ages. It is easy to pick up, but offers ever-increasing timed challenges through thought-provoking brainteasers, immersive physics-based gameplay elements and a multitude of interactive objects. Players must ignite hand-drawn gunpowder paths and create explosive chain reactions in order to complete levels and reclaim the stolen gold!   

With 150 unique missions, timed trials, numerous Easter eggs, unlockable achievements and access to your friends’ high scores via leaderboards, ​Gunpowder ​ can be played many times over, as players seek to find the fastest and best way to solve each puzzle.   

With thousands of votes from fans and supporters, Valve approved Gunpowder for sale on Steam within just a week on Greenlight, blasting it into the top 50 Greenlit games category. Complete with Steamworks integration, Gunpowder’s exceptionally charming art style and wildly addictive gameplay translates perfectly from the iPad touchscreen to mouse and keyboard. The Steam version will also add support for Steam Achievements, Leaderboards, Cloud Saves and Trading Cards.

“We never imagined the enormous amount of support we received for Gunpowder’s Steam release,” said Richard Sun, co-founder of Rogue Rocket Games. “Both Nick and I are so grateful to the gaming community for helping our game get approved in just one week. It’s amazing; we’re so pumped to bring Gunpowder to a whole new audience and are thrilled with how well the mechanics work regardless of platform!”
