Save the Corral!

Hey pardner, your corral is under attack from rival cowboys, so break out your 6-shooter and give them bad boys some well-deserved lead poisoning!

On the title screen, press B to choose game length of 30 , 60 or 90 seconds and press A to start a-shooting. 

In-game, use the d-pad to move your sight over a cowboy and give him what-for with a squeeze of the trigger (A button)! Be quick though, he’ll shoot you if you give him long enough to take aim. You’ve got 3 lives, shown by hearts at the top of the screen, and each shot from a cowboy takes one away.  Run out of hearts and it's a visit to Boot Hill for you...

When you kill a cowboy, another one will take his place until time runs out or you ain't got no hearts left.  Them varmints are persistent!

Remember to reload your gun with the B button or crank when you're running low on bullets. You can't move your sights while you're reloading, so time it well.

Feeling risky? Take a pot shot at the birds that fly past every so often. The quicker you shoot 'em, the more points they’re worth. 

Once time is up (or you bite the dust, if you’re not quick enough on the draw), you’ll be told if you got a new high score. The game tracks the top 3 scores for each game length. 

Controls

This games uses the d-pad to move your gunsight around the screen, A to shoot and B to reload.  If you're feeling fancy you can  spin your gun forward (using the crank) to reload instead! Make sure you crank forward though, it won't detect backwards cranking.
