Bandits are taking over the town and you're the only gunslinger around that can stop them. Battle through 5 bandit camps in this turn based rogue-like western to win the lucrative bounty or die trying.


How to play

This game uses gamepad and keyboard controls and involves rotating with left and right buttons. The player may take the following actions on their turn:


  • Move - Select and move to a free tile
  • Revolver - Aim at a direction and shoot at a target or reload bullet
  • Punch - Select a target next to you and push it
  • Sprint - Perform two move actions
  • Bullet Hail - Unload all bullets and reload all bullets


Note that the revolver will turn clock-wise or counter-clockwise when moving or shooting.


Protips


  • Do keep in mind that explosives also push objects around. So keep away from traps and other bandidos so they don't get in your way.
  • It is not only the trapper guy who can push stuff. You are also able to push his traps.
  • Once you reach the last camp, do keep in mind that the boss man takes two actions per turn.


Also available on PICO8 BBS and itch.io. This game is a PICO-8 version of Guncho, a 7DRL gamejam game. The original is made by Arnold Rauers and Terri Vellman.

  • UI: Icon for the selected action is now always shown in the middle of the revolver graphic.

Great fun, hard to get the grip of straight off the bat though. Still a fantastic game, very well made.

Quite fun to play!

I won and had a lot of fun!

Best game I have played so far lol. It's pretty challenging but not overly hard, and it's simple but has some depth to the combat. Amazing stuff dude! Keep it up.

cool
