COWBOY KID -a family affair -

• 2 players

• Ricochet Duel Game

• 1920x1080, 2D home and hand made graphsim in a great cartoon style.

• 60fps Spriter animations

• Home made Music

• STORY :
  A Cowboy and a Native american , both claim the paternity of the Kid and start to fight to have custody of the child.
  Will they shoot themselves to death ?
  It's up to you !

• When did this strange idea emerge ? :
  We started to work on this game during the #badboxart game jam on gamejolt.
  It's based on a free interpretation of the "Cowboy Kid" game cover , released on the NES in 1991, mixed with sweet memories of "Gun Fighter", released on VideoPac in 1980.

• RULES :

Player 1 is playing the Cowboy and Player 2 the Native american.
You have 6 bullets/arrows for a round.
If you kill the other player you win a round.
First player winning 10 rounds will win the Duel and have the custody of the kid.
Take care (or use it) the bullets and arrows will ricochet on the rocks and stop in the cactus.

• Controls :

Most of the game controllers should work for player 1 and 2 .

8 Directions : Move
Button 1 : Shoot
Button 2 : Kiss

But you are able to play using a keyboard for 2 players :

P1 Keys
"W,A,S,D" : Move
"R" : Shoot
" T ": Kiss

P2 Keys

• Reported bugs for this build ( v.0.1.0) :
