Overview
Description

Step into the shoes of a gunslinger tasked with protecting a bank from a gang of armed bandits. With twelve doors to monitor, you must time your shots perfectly to stop the outlaws before they fire back, while also handling dynamite threats and rescuing civilians for extra loot. The game blends fast reflexes with strategic door management, offering both solo and competitive multiplayer modes. Earn points by shooting gold, cutting ropes, and defusing dynamite, but beware of shooting innocent bystanders or mistiming your shots, which will cost you lives. Bank Panic delivers classic arcade intensity with simple controls and a high‑score chase that keeps players coming back for more.

Gun.Smoke is a fast‑paced, side‑scrolling shooter set in a gritty Western frontier. Players control a lone gunslinger riding a horse, battling outlaws, wild animals, and massive bosses across eight challenging stages. The game blends tight shooting mechanics with simple controls, delivering high‑score chasing fun for both solo and cooperative play. Its retro 8‑bit graphics and chiptune soundtrack capture the nostalgic arcade experience while still feeling fresh on modern platforms.
