What players say

Players describe a very short, broken 2D Wild West shooter with zombie enemies and a talking cactus. Combat is janky and bullets often miss the mark, but some find it a funny, cheap fever dream at its low price. Others report crashes and game-breaking bugs that make it unplayable.
