A Western DuelHIGH NOONDRAW

How to Play

1. Ready. Two gunslingers face off at high noon.
2. Steady. Keep your finger off the glass. The wait is always different.
3. Draw! Tap the instant the word appears. Faster than the other fella wins.

Tap early and you foul. From the sixth outlaw on, watch for trick words like DRAT! and DRAWL!, which are traps.

The Modes

• The Outlaw Trail. Ten outlaws on three trails: Normal, Legend and Dead Man’s.
• Daily Duel. Five draws, the same for everyone today. Keep your streak alive.
• Showdown. Two outlaws at once. Tap each before he fires.
• Two-Player Duel. Face-to-face on one phone, best of 3, 5 or 7.
• Shooting Range. Bottles, or a blindfold and a bell.
• Sheriff’s Tournament. A new eight-gun bracket on Main Street every week. Best of three.
• Bounty Board & Saloon. Three jobs a day; spend the money on guns, spurs, horses and flourishes.
• Boot Hill. 40 animated exits to collect and replay.

What's New

• The web edition now only runs at its official address, so copies posted on other websites send players to the real game.
• Copyright notice added to About the Game.

• High Noon Draw now plays in any web browser, with a fullscreen button on phones and sharing through your phone’s own share sheet.

• Turning off Music or Desert ambience now silences them completely, echoes included. Coyotes, hawks and cicadas count as ambience.

• Prickly Pete moved to the last cactus on the right.
• Fixed black movie bars that could stay stuck over the title screen after quitting a duel.
• The title menu no longer covers the gunslingers; the smaller links now sit along the bottom.
• Tidier Settings, Prickly Pete’s box and kill-cam screen.

• The kill-cam is now a 720p video with sound. Share it straight from the phone.
• Main Street at dusk: a second place to duel, with townsfolk in the windows and swinging saloon doors.
• The Sheriff’s Tournament, the Bounty Board and the Saloon.
• Weather. Lightning during STEADY is a mean trick.
• Pick the loser’s last words. Race your own ghost in the Daily Duel. Slow-motion finishing shots.
• Nine new exits for Boot Hill, a bandit chase, gossiping buzzards, an armadillo, the pony express and an outhouse.
• Prickly Pete grows every time you share.

• Prickly Pete, the cactus on the title screen, now talks. Tap him to share the game or dare a friend.
• Sound starts on its own in the Android app.
• Kill-cam GIFs are twice as sharp.

• Dead Man’s Trail: two hats, faster outlaws, and you have to aim.
• Every outlaw has a trick. Burt takes two shots, the Undertaker gets back up, El Fantasma fades in and out.
• Daily Duel, the Showdown, and a Blindfold range where you fire on the bell.
• Wardrobe, your own wanted poster, kill-cam GIFs, sunset and night, and a town that rebuilds as you win.
• Stampedes, stagecoaches, a cat, your own graves, a chart of your draw and accessibility options.

• A real quick-draw: the camera creeps in, the bars close, the hammer clicks.
• Muzzle flash, tracer, recoil, a flying casing and a gunslinger who blows the smoke away.
• A busy desert: a walking cactus, a chicken, a prospector and his mule, a train, a dust devil and a very lazy hound.
• Medals, plus Google Play Games achievements and leaderboards on Android.

• First release.
