A dark western pixel-art precision platformer that demands nail-biting accuracy as you shoot occult foes hidden in shadow.

What players say
Players praise its minimalist three-color art style and clever level design that uses the limited palette to hide threats. The game is tough and becomes brutally challenging in its last few levels, with some calling it unfair. Expect 2–4 hours of play, and many wish it had an arcade or endless mode for replayability.
