Gun Games

The "gun" genre in mobile and browser gaming encompasses a wide range of experiences centered on ranged weapon combat. These games are designed for quick, accessible play sessions on touchscreens and in web browsers, utilizing intuitive controls like tap-to-shoot or virtual joysticks. Popular formats include top-down shooters, sniper missions, and wave-based survival games, often built with HTML5 for instant play without downloads.

These titles prioritize immediate action and satisfying feedback over complex narratives. Players might defend a position from zombies, engage in pixel-art western duels, or clear rooms of terrorists in straightforward mission structures. The genre leverages the pick-up-and-play nature of mobile and browser platforms, offering progressive weapon upgrades and leaderboards to drive engagement. Monetization typically involves watching ads for rewards or in-app purchases for better gear, aligning with the free-to-play model dominant in this space.
