Big Billy is a shooting game. The game is perfect for entertainment. It is easy to play. The app consists of many cards. You must purchase a version of the upgrade to play the game to the end. It's a treasure hunt game. Billy has to find a fortune by the end of the game. He can use up to 6 lives. The action of the game takes place in top view. There are 3 enemies: soldier, dog and rat. The rat is a harmless character. The dog must be avoided because it bites deadly. Soldiers shoot a gun when Billy is within sight. There is a shoot button below. And you can move by moving your finger on Billy, either forward or backward, or right and left.
