I currently have GunSlugs, which I think is great game for the reasons you mentioned about Groundkeepers 2. I strongly considered purchasing it, but then I thought GK2 might just be a different face on a very similar if not the same game; so I didn't buy it. Is my observation incorrect or is it unique enough to warrant another purchase?

BTW, I try to catch all your VCS game reviews. They're not too long but always informative. Kudos.

Thanks! The two games play pretty different from each other. Gunslugs is a run and gun shooter similar to, say, Metal Slug, while Groundskeeper 2 is a one-screen game where you defend yourself while picking up weapons and coins to unlock the next level. I'd say they are different enough to not be a concern. To me Groundskeeper 2 felt more like a defense game.
