Between each level there are tiny cut-scenes from one of a cast of unique aliens, making witty comments on proceedings. These crazy characters aren’t really needed – they don’t make the story make much more sense – but they add some humour and are a great chance to show off the excellent skill of the game’s artists.

About
ATOMIK: RunGunJumpGun is a tough as nails 2D Action Platformer that puts a teeth-rattling, gravity-defying weapon in your hands. With a cast of crazed characters, simple but beautifully difficult gameplay, and a pulsing musical score, ATOMIK: RunGunJumpGun is a loud, trippy mess of twitchy platforming goodness.

Critic reviews
- Overall, I had a really surprisingly fun time with ATOMIK: RunGunJumpGun. It has a good sense of difficulty and nailing everything was satisfying. Next to that, the grand sense of style is unmatched by most that I play in the genre. The big bummer is that it took only a few hours to fully complete the roughly 100 levels in the package. An endless mode would made me really happy, and would've made ATOMIK something I could return to. Still, what’s here is made with care, making for an enjoyable experience.
- 8.0It takes something special to stand out in the ever-growing auto-running platformer genre, but ATOMIK: RunGunJumpGun does so with aplomb, copious deaths and a healthy dash of that “just one more time” mentality that’ll keep you coming back for more. From its pulse-pounding post-apocalyptic world to its powerful soundtrack, the hours will melt away as you try and collect every last bauble or at the very least just try and make it to the goal unscathed. If brutal arcade-like experiences sound like your cup of tea, you can’t go wrong with ATOMIK: RunGunJumpGun.
- ATOMIK: RunGunJumpGun is a fantastic title that feels right at home on the Nintendo Switch. If you are looking for an addictive challenge then this is the title for you.
- 7.0Atomik: RunGunJumpGun is suitable for anyone on a budget seeking a hefty challenge. The simplistic two-button gameplay is layered upon with some excellent level design and we were soon to fall in love with its quirky presentation and accompanying soundtrack. It would have been nice, however, to see the inclusion of a multiplayer mode and some form of added incentive to collect up all those collectibles. At its modest price point though, its easy to overlook its flaws and its one we'd wholeheartedly recommend for fans of Celeste and Super Meat Boy.
- 7.0As far as auto-runners go, ATOMIK: RunGunJumpGun is solid. It does not really do anything to win over anyone to partake in games like this but will be worth having around when there are a lot of guests around and can be a DJ understudy for the soundtrack alone. Maybe if the art was repurposed for a more interesting genre, ATOMIK could have been a real winner. Only fans of auto-runners need apply - for everyone else, just go and buy the soundtrack instead.
