Since The Gunstringer is Twisted Pixel’s first retail title, it also means that The Gunstringer is the first title we’ve released with a full set of 50 achievements!

The Gunstringer’s achievements were probably the most fun set of achievements I’ve ever had a hand in developing. Whether you’re just a casual achievement hunter, a hardcore player, or someone who likes to explore around and get rewarded for playing the game in a different way, there’s something here for you to sink your teeth into.
