Cut the perfect half. Halfsies is the daily gunslinger showdown where the only weapon that matters is a steady hand. Every sunrise, the whole world gets the same three hauls — a catfish, a gold bar, a six-shooter, whatever the day drags in — and one shot each to slice them clean down the middle. Your halves ride the brass scale. The beam swings, the grams land, and the town learns exactly how steady your hand really is. NINE WAYS TO DRAW The cut mode rotates daily so nobody gets comfortable: take your time in Steady Hand, beat the clock in Quick Draw, chase a target that won't sit still in Runaway, slice from memory in Blindfold, time the spin in Tornado, aim backwards in Mirror Duel, shoot through both holes in Two Bullets, halve two hauls at once in Double Trouble, or carve any path you like in Freehand. ONE SHOT A DAY You get a single attempt at the daily. Miss it and it's gone — but yesterday's cuts stay open for practice, with your real score to beat. RACE YOUR POSSE One leaderboard, the same three cuts worldwide. Share your run as an animated GIF, taunt a friend by text, and post your score straight to the saloon Discord. PRACTICE IN THE SANDBOX Every shape, every mode, unlimited tries — including Spectral Hand, where the camera watches your real hand carve the cut. Free to play with one ad after your daily run. Halfsies Gold ($2.99/month) removes ads. Come take your shot, partner. — Halfsies Gold is an auto-renewable monthly subscription.
