About BioGun
BioGun drops players into a hand‑drawn microscopic world inside a dog, where you guide Bek on a mission to stop the Dooper Virus. The side‑scrolling 360° shooter pits you against germs, cells and disease‑themed bosses while you aid the immune system.
Combat is fast‑paced and complemented by exploration of organs, side missions that help cells, and DNA augmentation via Nano‑Chips. A pulse‑pounding soundtrack by Juhani Junkala underscores the quest to become the vaccine that saves dog‑kind.
