Level 2: In the Canyon

In the second level, you are in front of GUN CITY, which can already be seen in the background. You’ll also see a fisherman in his boat next to a tent, a farmer next to a crate of potatoes and a gold-seeker on his claim. To reach the next level, you have to reach at least 350 points, spruce up the canyon a little bit and …

Level 3: In GUN CITY

In the city, there are many buildings, a gallows and many chickens. Destroying the buildings’ windows makes enemies appear. There are lots of surprises in this level, so you’d better get moving in order to find all those hidden points.
