Rootin' Tootin' Cowboy Shootin'
A cowboy shooting game! Made mostly by my 13-year old son, with programming & useability support from me.

It's about shooting cowboys that try to run past you. There's 2 versions: Arcade, with reloading, increasing difficulty, etc . Chaos, with a shotgun, no reloading a a ton of enemies from the start.

Role: Secondary programmer /web developer

Oh, this is delightful! I had an easier time of things after I figured out that you couldn't let the balloon-baddies get through. This feels like it's from the heyday of flash games, and I mean that in the the most fondly nostalgic way possible.

This got significantly easier when I read the instructions about how to reload but I am still very bad at it but I will also play it a lot until I get better, which is basically the highest praise I can give a game.

Shooting a balloon guy and having him fall on a couple horsey guys is very satisfying, and the sound is really nice. Would play again.
