action

At the start of the game, a group of bandits kidnap either Mayor Johnson's daughter, Ms. Jonhson , or Gunman Clive, depending on the character selected , and wreak havoc across the country. Gunman Clives or Ms. Johnson's task is now to save Ms. Johnson or Gunman Clive and restore order in the West.
Game principle and technology
At the beginning of the game, the player can choose between two different characters: Gunman Clive, a cowboy who can jump and shoot, and Ms. Johnson , the daughter of the mayor of the city where the game is set, who moves more slowly and in the air Freezes briefly when shooting. After finishing the game, a secret character, a duck, will be unlocked.
The game contains 20 levels, all of which are set in the Western and contain different opponents and bosses . If the player is hit by an opponent, the length of the bar on the player's life meter is reduced . Opponents are eliminated by the player shooting at them. Sometimes spawn after an opponent has killed a piece of cake (give the player a little health back), a pie (complete resuscitation of the player), or one of many weapons upgrades that will be lost again after renewed enemy hit.
The game is based on a custom engine , is written in C ++ and - apart from the opponents and a few optical elements - is completely beige. The background and foreground have an animation style that visually resembles a sketch .
The player can choose between the three levels of difficulty "Easy", "Normal" and "Hard" in the game. These differ only in the length of the bar of the life meter and the place where the player respawns after falling into an abyss (on "Easy" the player spawns at the point where he fell and only loses something of the life meter, while he has to restart the level on "Normal" and "Hard").
