“Too many sombreros,” the Chivatos said. “No one man should have that power.”

So after ten thousand years, Klik’n’Play oldboy Dustin Gunn (that’s his actual name) has released his ACTION 52 OWNS remake game, Sombreros, under his new indie game label, Sniper Diplomat (1 nerdpoint to anyone who gets the reference).

Why am I posting about it? Well, besides the fact that it owns very hard, it also has a soundtrack by yours truly, which could basically be described as Red Dead Revolver meets Sunset Riders meets Metal Slug meets the extents of my musical talents — basically, it’s cheesy spaghetti western.

Besides doing the music, I also helped a bit with the writing and gave a few ideas for the design of the last level/boss.

At any rate, it’s a really well done game, with awesome (and clever) boss fights, exciting set pieces, hilarious dialogue, and some good freaking music (heh). Also I made that title-screen image.

Check it out immediately, or enjoy your last breaths, senor.

    god people get off his back about The Underside >: (

    im sure he hasnt forgotten about it (you guys always remind him… every other post >.>)

    but yea i love all of your music and this soundtrack is no different 🙂

  6. Stephen Says:

    Soundtrack rocks pretty hard. Found myself humming the tune later. The games really good too. Has he done any other games before this?

  7. Mr. Podunkian Says:

    he’s done a couple — his ‘the underside’ is a little gem called ‘mayhem 3,’ which is a sidescroller shoot-em-up with hong kong blood opera style stunts and the same sort of awesome setpieces/bosses and b-movie style humor that you saw in sombreros. but who knows when that’ll be finished (much like the underside, you see)

  8. Bob Says:

    Oh look, The Underside was renamed to Sombreros.

    STREEMERZ 2 was actually pretty fun(ny) though.

  9. Sani Says:

    My only beef with it is that it gets laggy when the actual game starts, maybe a mix of bad computer and something with the game, maybe too many things being active at once.

    how come you didnt make an update about streemerz 2 is was pretty good, i thought there was going to be a boss battle at the end, but all of the humor and voice acting made up for it. A very nice short little game.
