A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

WELCOME!

Compete against friends or the computer in this exciting remake of the original 1997 popular arcade game!

(Warning: this game contains some flashing imagery)

INSTRUCTIONS

Once the game has launched press the corresponding keyboard key to play as either player 1, 2, 3 or 4 and follow the prompts on your player card to get started. Each round is broken up into three stages: Take Aim, Get Ready and Shoot!

TAKE AIM!

First you need to choose an angle to fire your shot and hit the bumpers. Use the buttons prompted to aim your gun left or right and look at the guide to try and predict where your shot will go. This part of the game is timed so make sure you find that perfect trajectory before the clock runs out!

The purple bumper will add one to your obstacle so make sure to try and fit it into your shot!

TIP: You can press the down key on your control scheme to aim more precisely

STANDOFF AND SHOOT!

Once the angles have been set the game enters the standoff. Wait until the announcer says shoot before pulling the trigger! Players that shoot too early will misfire and be forced to wait until everyone else has shot their bullet around the course.

BONUSES!

There are special points awarded at the end of each round:

  • Quickdraw - First to fire their pistol.
  • Stopping Lead - Collide with another players bullet.
  • Ricochet Rush - Get five ricochets in a single shot.
  • Pity Pete - Get the lowest score for that round.

The final round gives everyone the One In The Chamber bonus which adds one to your multiplier!

GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY RICOCHETING!
