Cowboys And Indians

Cowboys and Indians, cops and robbers; childhood is filled with playful antagonism; combined with a rich fantasy this produces the absolute best games in the world. But, to paraphrase Goethe, we “lose the seriousness we played with as a child”. Cowboys and Indians is a game about all our childhoods and the characters we used to play, enhanced with big-ass guns and lots of explosions. The player reflects on the game world as the character she/he is playing which merges with fond childhood memories of games like cowboys and indians. All the while trying to murder the other player's character and collect diamonds. The goal of the game is to collect as much points within the set time limit. Points are collected by first capturing the large diamond and consecutively collecting smaller diamonds that will spawn on your side of the battlefield. One round lasts 100 seconds; if there is a tie, there is a sudden death round. Happy memories!
