• WINNER of the Pocket Gamer Silver Award! Billy Frontier is a space cowboy who's mission is to rid the galaxy of alien outlaws. This is the most diverse 3D game you'll find for iOS - it is a combination of adventure game and arcade game with a whole lot of blood spewing action in-between! 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! This is a great game that pays homage to the spaghetti western genre!

The game is simple, survive as long as you can without getting bonked on the head, which of course is always easier said than done." - http://appadvice.com "...after one round I was hooked. It packs a definite just-one-more-time draw to rank on the leaderboards." - http://toucharcade.com "Dragon Panic offers a unique rushing raw excitement that players would enjoy irrespective of age." - http://iphonefootprint.com "The general look and feel is very reminiscent of games for the C64. If you want a fun, undemanding look back, Dragon Panic is definitely a title to check out." - http://zaxxon1-retrogames.blogspot.com Help Berny and Blaze, the adorable pink and green dragons, thwart the cowardly knight by incinerating his barrage of attacks in his quest for fame, fortune, and of course the princess.
