I'm the guy who bought a copy and is posting my personal opinion in a thread about discussing the game?

Rather you're the guy that doesn't like something and determines it's as a result of a design flaw and something not being fit for a genre of game, over something that* just simply doesn't appeal to them.

The game does contain some amount of progress, including shortcuts you can open to later floors, allowing you to skip the initial ones. You can also unlock new weapons and upgrades, as long as you make a bit of progress every new run. These are all things that have been added to the genre as it evolves, and something that a few complain about, even.
I can see room for improvement, obviously. Maybe an easy mode that gives you more life, but doesn't allow for full progression.

How can anyone say you don't get 'lives' anyway - that's what those big red hearts in the top left corner are!
This game is seriously addictive. I thought Isaac had me bad but this is on another level.

So I found a pretty significant glitch that seems to work every time if peeps are looking for a guaranteed way to get a no hit run on a single floor. If you happen to find a Glass Guon Stone in a secret area on the floor, it seems like you can pick up an infinite amount of them as long as you don't leave that specific room/spot where it was originally. You can basically make a force field that eats all the shots around you. It does return to the normal amount you should have after dropping to the next floor though. I've done this about 5 times during runs so its definitely reproducible.
I've seen it being advertised a lot on my facebook feed which I guess is helping. Plus general positive word of mouth always helps matters.
No character progression in this. It's pretty much like in Isaac in that regard, you can unlock new drops and characters but that's it so far.
So how do you unlock the elevator ? I have that guy in my town that says "Come back later" or something. I've cleared the third floor and died there. I thought I was supposed to get a mission that enables me to unlock it?
Did you drop down the elevator shaft in the gungeon? He is at the bottom and gives you specific missions to unlock shortcuts to floors. When you arrive on the second floor and step a bit away from the crashed bullet elevator it will move on and there should be a construction sign pointing downward into the elevator shaft.
I guess... not? Not sure what you're talking about. After I beat a boss there's that button thing on the wall who tells me that I can save my game there, that's it. I mean what elevator shaft are you talking about, the thing after beating a boss? I'm not following the terminology, I can take some screen shots and post them....
These are the only two guys in my gungeon, neither one of them do anything. You can see this dude with the backpack tells me nothing, I thought he was supposed to give mthe level skip missions?

So, when you beat the boss of the 1st floor, proceed down the elevator. You'll be dropped off at the start of floor 2 by the elevator, and after taking a few steps away from it, it will depart. You need to enter the hole that is left after it departs. There is usually a sign there as well.
The elevator shaft as soon as you walk into the new floor. You walk out, elevator departs, then there's the shaft.
Edit beat
Ahhh okay! I've never done that before, thanks! That's what I was missing!
I'd recommend Hammerwatch, personally. The gameplay is designed around co-op (online being patched in soon) which is super fun and addictive, and there's definitely character progression.
Too bad nobody's heard about this wonderful little gem sitting on the eShop right now.
Ahhhhhhhhhh was having a great run and about to fight the floor 5 boss. Then the game crashed with a Switch error pop up and lost all progress :(
Edit: whoa nevermind. Loaded the game back up and started me back at the beginning of the floor. Wonder if people can exploit this and try to reload a floor if doing poorly.

I don't think I've ever enjoyed a game that I'm so crap at it as much as I enjoy this. I've managed to finally get to the floor 3 boss which I realise looks pitiful compared to some of you lot, but I felt like it was a big achievement for myself haha.
The annoying thing was I could have beaten the floor 3 boss (tank) if I had just some ammo left for my decent weapons, but because the shopkeeper wasn't selling any I had to use my starter pistol which was obviously rubbish against it. Nevermind.
What am I supposed to do with the floating eyeballs on floor 3 that have little hearts next to them?

I am so hooked on this game, love it.
I think chamber 4 is the farthest I've gotten. But those chamber 1 bosses are pretty easy now so I must be getting better in some way.

I assume you had the Eye of the Beholster? It spawns one of those on the last shot of the clip.

That's ridiculous. As someone who's really bad at twin-stick shooters I've completed the game and unlocked almost all the unlockables. Just because something doesn't sit with you, doesn't mean it's inherently bad, you just have to learn to use the blanks and the roll.
Games like this take me back to my arcade visiting days in the 80s. You youngsters today don't know how easy you have it!
I saved a run once only to find the continue option gone.
I played some Gungeon on another profile in the interim, could that somehow mess it up? I genuinely wonder if I continued that run without remembering lol.
I have another fortitous run saved up right now. Hope nothing happens.

Is there anything you can do to get rainbow chests to show up more often or is that just a blessed run?
I found a glitch last night where this happened
Yaw, i will remember that.
Possibly, I mean it is one of those, but the action on its own is strong enough that it makes for a great dual-stick shooter regardless. The many guns are fun to find and use, but you will still be rubbing against the RNG aspects and dealing with some BS runs quite often. The mega patch hitting early next year sounds exciting and attempts to flatten the 'feel' of the rogue aspects a bit for newcomers.
Yeaaah that's exactly what kills me with these kinds of games. Any links to how the mega patch changes things?
I do enjoy them hence this game having my interest, but I've never been able to enjoy a procedurally generated game for very long before dropping it. Even the creme of the crop games like BoI I get bored after 15-20 minutes regardless of how my run goes
Here is the announcement post from the devs regarding the patch.
