A downloadable game

Western Shooter is a semi-top-down pixel shooter. As the sheriff, you find your small town has been overrun with villainous cacti and the restless souls of slain outlaws. It’s up to you to protect the town from being overrun by these evil entities.

This game was developed in Python using the Pygame module. The game was created to satisfy a project requirement in an online course. All assets were made available by the course. The objective was to make a game with player vs. enemy combat mechanics while including variable health and damage mechanics.

How to Play:

  • Arrow Keys to Move Up, Down, Left, or Right
  • Space to Shoot
  • Quit the game by clicking X in the top corner (Note: If you die, the window will close automatically)
