Short description

Holster your phone, wait for the bell, then draw! Ten Paces at High Noon is a quick-draw western duel game where your phone is the six-shooter: hold it upside down at your side, flip it up when the bell rings, tilt to aim and tap to fire.

About the game

Ten paces. One bell. Whoever draws cleanest walks away.

In Ten Paces at High Noon your phone is the six-shooter. Hold it at your side, barrel to the dirt, and wait. “Ready… Steady…” The bell rings, the phone buzzes, and it’s time to DRAW. Flip it up, tilt to line up your sights and tap to fire before the other gunslinger does. Jump the gun and it jams. Where the bullet lands decides how hard it hits.

Every duel can turn on what comes out of the General Store, and every item has an answer: get roped and your whole view flips upside down until you shake the phone loose; wipe pocket sand off the glass with your finger; shoot dynamite out of the air; swat the wasps.

Around the duels is the town of Dry Creek: a Wanted Board of named outlaws over fifty levels, Quick Duels, live duels in the Saloon, gangs with their own Hideout and a weekly faction war, the Sundown Trail season pass and a new event every week. Cel-shaded gunslingers wear what you dress them in, from a plain trail hat to legendary pieces, and the winner’s epitaph goes on the loser’s tombstone.

Free to play on Android, with iPhone right behind. In English, Arabic and Simplified Chinese.
