The Gunstringer: Difference between revisions

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Mixes [[The Western]] with a rather cheeky puppet show.

* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Then again it is a puppet show, so historical accuracy is pretty much moot.

** [[Fridge Brilliance|Given the seemingly ramshackle nature of the puppet play, it's easy to imagine WTM being a makeshift prop standing in for a proper villain.]]

* [[Guns Akimbo]]: A couple of segments have the Gunstringer whip out a second gun and shoot just about everything onscreen.

* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]: In the Beard Master's stage.

* [[Kill It with Fire]]: One of the upgrades is a flamethrower. That's right...a flamethrower in a Western.

* [[Line-of-Sight Name|Line Of Sight Premise]]: The game came about when the two heads of Twisted Pixel were in a meeting with a Microsoft exec in a Tex-Mex restaurant to pitch an idea for a Kinect game. Unfortunately, they ''didn't have one'' (to be precise they did but it was found at the last minute to be impractical with the Kinect's technology) and eventually the representative left to use the bathroom wanting to hear it when she got back, giving them [[Oh Crap|only a few minutes to come up with a new game idea]]. They had previously discussed a game based on marionettes and one of them noticed a painting of a skeleton cowboy. And the rest is history.

* [[Male Gaze]]: Gunstringer can not help but stare at the Brothel Madam's assets, it is the only noticeable time he smiles.

* [[Medium Awareness]]: The Gunstringer knows full well he's in a puppet show and takes a bow after every act.

* [[Muppet]]: The Sheriff that works for the Old Baron is an all out parody of one.
