Ricochet Saloon: Gun Shooter

Ricochet Saloon: Gun Shooter について

Bank your shot off an iron plate, watch the bullet curve around the overturned table, and drop the gunslinger hiding behind it. Ricochet Saloon is a top-down Western shooter where the whole saloon is your weapon.

THE RICOCHET IS THE GAME Every bullet reflects off walls, iron plates, iron shields and the stove at a true angle, leaving a warm gold trail that fades behind it. Aim and a dotted line previews your first bounce — reading the rest of the room is on you. You start with 1 bounce; upgrade cards push it to 4 and beyond. Nothing in this shooter beats planning a three-wall ricochet that ends behind an enemy's cover.

THE WHOLE SALOON FIGHTS • Light 2D rigid-body physics: tables, chairs, barrels and bodies all have mass and friction. Shoot them, blast them, send them flying — and when they collide, both sides take damage. • Gas canisters: one shot, one huge explosion, one shockwave that throws the room. • Chandeliers: shoot the chain and it drops straight down on whoever is under it, starting a small fire. • Whiskey barrels: break one and the spilled liquor becomes a burning floor. • Kills by explosion, falling chandelier, knockback or flying furniture count as PHYSICS KILLS — double score, longer combo, and titles like "Pool Shark" and "Demolition Expert" for chaining them.

COVER BREAKS. YOU ADAPT. Wooden cover chips, cracks and finally shatters into kickable debris. As a wave goes on the room empties out while more outlaws pour in through the front door, the side windows and the kitchen door — and at higher waves they split up to flank you and steal your cover instead of lining up to die.

SIX SHOTS, THEN A DECISION The revolver holds six. Empty it and you auto-reload in 1.2 seconds, or tap R to top off early. Every second is a trade between firing and footwork.

BUILD A RUN, WAVE BY WAVE Clear a wave and draft 1 of 3 random upgrade cards from a pool of about 18: +1 bounce, double knockback, explosive rounds, lifesteal, wood penetration, instant reload, slower combo decay, chandeliers that always detonate. Duplicates stack, so your bullets get ridiculous by wave 20. The first nine waves each introduce a new enemy — thug, quickdraw, dual-wielder, brute, dynamite thrower, iron-shield man, knife sisters, swarm, rafter sniper — and every fifth wave brings a bounty boss with phases and a bonus rare card.

ENDLESS. NO ENDING. JUST A BETTER RUN. There is no final level — only how long you survive, how high the wave counter climbs, and how long you hold an x8 combo before a hit resets it. The results screen compares you to your record, and when you're within 500 points it tells you exactly how close you came.

PLAYS RIGHT ON A PHONE Twin virtual sticks: left thumb to move, right thumb to aim and auto-fire, release to stop. You can also ignore the right stick and kite one-handed. On desktop it's WASD plus mouse.

MILESTONES Lifetime physics kills at 10, 50, 200 and 1000 unlock titles and new bullet-trail colors.

FREE TO PLAY, FAIR TO PLAY Ricochet Saloon is free. Bounty, the in-game currency, is earned just by playing, and every shop upgrade can be bought with it. Optional in-app purchases (Gold Eagle coins, double bounty, a starter pack, revives, cosmetic bullet trails and gunslinger skins) only speed things up: revives are capped at 2 per run and halve your combo, paid guns have exactly the same stats as the free ones, and there is nothing permanent to buy that makes a paying player stronger than a free one.

Load six, read the room, and let the ricochet do the rest.
