Introduction:
Gun Mayhem 2 is a fast-paced, action-packed 2D platformer shooting game developed by Kevin Gu, released in 2012 as a sequel to the original Gun Mayhem.

It supports up to four players locally and can be played solo or cooperatively, with maps featuring dynamic hazards like lava pits or floating platforms
