Bounties at Noon

Description

Duelling. A challenge of speed, dexterity, and willpower. Not for the faint of heart.

A colourful gang has been causing turmoil in a small western town. The local sheriff has issued bounties for prominent members, but nobody dares to confront the goons because of their famous gunslinging capabilities. Nobody, but you.

Take down Red Rose, Green Graham and the other bandits as you slay them in the one type of match that counts, and free the people from this plague.

The original version of this game was made for the Tri-Jam #125 and was made in approximately 3 hours (under 3:15 at least). The theme was "only one enemy", interpreted as fighting with one enemy. This version is still downloadable (as the jam version) but the newer, far more polished post-jam version has since been released.

Many thanks to Eeve Somepx for the font, Joel Steudler for the music and Sidearm Studios for the sound effects.

Gameplay

Use the mouse to focus on your opponent. Keep focussing for a burst of slow-motion when the guns are drawn and a better aim. Use WASD or the arrow keys to move your hand. Make sure your hand stays on your revolver to minimize the time it takes to draw it. Press LMB to draw your revolver, or fire it when it's drawn. Firing it rapidly will cause recoil, resulting in a less steady aim. Shots are fired at a point within the aiming reticle.
