• WINNER of the Pocket Gamer Silver Award! Billy Frontier is a space cowboy who's mission is to rid the galaxy of alien outlaws.

You'll test your reflexes in Duels, see if you can outrun a stampeding herd of Kanga-Cows (half kangaroo, half cow), hunt down alien bandits in gun battles, and blast catapulted critters out of the sky in the Shooting Gallery!
