About Gun Evolution
Gun Evolution is a 3D runner game about upgrading a weapon on the move. You start with a plain baseball bat moving down a track lined with pairs of gates: blue gates raise its value, red gates lower it, and every time the value passes a milestone your weapon evolves. There are 14 weapons to reach, from a knife, dagger, axes and swords through grenades, dynamite and a big bomb up to pistols, an SMG and a sniper rifle.
The first four tracks are hand-made; after that every level is generated from its number, so the game keeps going with longer tracks, bigger numbers and something new every few levels: coin and gem pickups, x2 gates that double your value, spinning saws that sweep across the track and shuffling gates that swap sides. Past the finish line your weapon smashes through a lane of multiplier walls, from x1.2 to x5, and the further it gets the more coins you win. Every fifth level is a bonus level with a bigger finale reward. The world changes every three levels: meadow, beach, city, autumn farm, desert, sunset boulevard, snowy peaks and a starry night city.
The start screen shows your Arsenal, the weapons you have reached at a finish. Coins unlock seven finishes for your weapon, from Crimson and Arctic up to Gold and Stealth, and two upgrades: Collector Start begins every run with a more valuable weapon, and Lucky Gates makes every blue gate add more. If you fall short at the finish you can take a boost up to the target once per level. Gun Evolution works on phones, tablets and computers with no download.

How to play Gun Evolution
- Tap Start. Your weapon moves down the track on its own.
- Drag left and right to steer through the better gate of each pair and collect pickups.
- Dodge the spinning saws and look for x2 gates: they double what you have.
- Reach the finish with at least the target value, then smash as many multiplier walls as your value allows.
Controls
- Computer
- Hold the left mouse button and drag left or right to steer.
- Phone and tablet
- Touch the screen and slide your finger left or right to steer.
Tips
- A x2 gate is worth more the later you take it, so build value first.
- Shuffling gates swap about once a second: commit at the last moment.
- Each finale wall shows the value it needs; one more good gate often means a bigger multiplier.
- Collector Start and Lucky Gates make the top weapons reachable sooner.

Four hand-made tracks, then every level is generated from its number with new obstacles every few levels, so the game does not end. Every fifth level is a bonus level.
Is Gun Evolution violent?
No. There are no enemies and nothing is fired: the cartoon weapons only move down a track and change model as their value goes up, so it is a simple upgrade runner.
