Colt Canyon is a stylish 2D pixel art twin-stick shooter with roguelike elements in which you control a cowboy (or a cowgirl!), whose mission it is to save their kidnapped partner from ruthless bandits. Take your revolver, knife, and TNT and shoot your way through a hostile canyon full of hidden treasures, weapons, obstacles and all kinds of bloodthirsty scum. Perhaps you can save even more people than just your beloved. You can also enjoy Colt Canyon with a friend by playing its two-player local co-op mode.

Thanks for bein’ a real pardner and sharin’ the news and assets! If you’d like to have a chat around the campfire with the developer to talk about wrangling varmints or what it takes to ride the open trails of game development, shoot us over a telegram (or just reply to this email) and we’d be pleased as punch to set you up!
