About Hellhunt GB
Hellhunt GB is a retro FPS made to look like it ran on an old green-screen handheld. Everything is drawn in grainy shades of green, and the title screen is even dated 1991 to sell the idea.
There are three levels and three weapons: dual pistols, a super shotgun and a minigun. You walk with W, A, S and D, fire with the left mouse button, swap guns with the 1, 2 and 3 keys and press Space to interact with things in the level. Esc opens the options.
The point is to show what a first-person shooter might have looked like on that kind of hardware back in 1991. It's compact and quick to learn, you can play Hellhunt GB online here on any computer with a keyboard and mouse, and Hellhunt GB free in the browser is the whole three-level game.
How to Play Hellhunt GB
- Click inside the game window, then pick New Game on the title screen.
- Walk with W, A, S and D, and fire with the left mouse button.
- Switch between the dual pistols, super shotgun and minigun with 1, 2 and 3.
- Press Space to interact.
- Press Esc to open the options.
- Fight your way through all three levels.
What to Expect in Hellhunt GB
Expect an old-school shooter stripped to the basics: move, shoot, swap guns and find your way through. With three levels, a full run of Hellhunt GB is short, and the three guns give you a few different ways to handle a fight.
The look is the main draw. The screen has the soft, dithered green of an early-90s handheld, and 8-bit music fits the same era. It's a small game that commits fully to its idea, which makes it a fun piece of retro make-believe.
Tips for Hellhunt GB
- Bring out the minigun when a crowd shows up, and keep the super shotgun for anything up close.
- Learn the 1, 2 and 3 weapon keys early so you can swap without looking down at the keyboard.
- Try Space on anything in a level that looks like it might open or move.
- Turn the sound on. The 8-bit music does a lot to make it feel like a real game from 1991.
- Take each level slowly the first time. With only three, it's worth learning every layout instead of rushing.

What weapons are in Hellhunt GB?
Hellhunt GB has three weapons: dual pistols, a super shotgun and a minigun. You switch between them with the 1, 2 and 3 keys and fire with the left mouse button. Having all three ready lets you pick the right tool for whatever is in front of you.
Why does Hellhunt GB look so green?
Hellhunt GB is styled after the green screens of early-90s handheld consoles. The whole game uses a small set of green shades with grainy, dithered shading, and the title screen carries the year 1991. It imagines what a first-person shooter could have looked like on that hardware.
