Western Showdown
Cartoon Wild West shooter: clear outlaw gangs out of the saloon from behind cover, then win a tense quick-draw duel at high noon to claim each of ten bounties.
Western Showdown is a cartoon Wild West shooting game built around two kinds of gunfight. Every bounty starts in a crowded saloon, where bandits pop up from behind the bar, the piano, overturned tables, barrels and the balcony rail. A shrinking ring shows each one taking aim, so you shoot first or duck behind your own table to dodge the shot and reload your revolver. Then you step out into a sunset main street for a quick-draw duel against the wanted outlaw: wait for the DRAW! signal, then tap or click him before he fires.
The bounty board climbs through ten outlaws, each faster on the draw than the last. Later gangs bring frying-pan helmets that take two hits and dynamite throwers whose sticks you can shoot out of the air, while the bartender and a nervous townsperson pop up too and must not be shot. Duels add fake-outs such as crows and rolling tumbleweeds to catch you drawing early, and the toughest outlaws sidestep after the signal. Trick shots, like dropping a chandelier on a bandit or shooting an outlaw's hat clean off, earn big bonuses. Bounty cash buys permanent upgrades at the gunsmith, and every outlaw you reach stays unlocked.
Perfect for fans of reflex tests, light-gun style shooting galleries and cowboy showdowns. Tip: reload behind cover before you run dry, never with a bandit already aiming.
How to play
Each bounty has two parts. In the saloon, shoot the bandits who pop up from cover before their aiming ring closes; hold duck to hide from their shots and reload your revolver. Don't shoot the bartender or other bystanders. Clear the whole gang to face the outlaw in a duel: wait for DRAW!, then shoot him before he fires. Drawing early is a foul. Getting shot or fouling costs a heart, and the run ends when your hearts run out. Spend bounty cash at the gunsmith between bounties.
