Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa

Game Details:

In this game, players can choose from four main characters: Moo Montana, Dakota Dude, Cowlorado Kid, and Buffalo Bull. Each character's weapon has a slightly different rate of fire and range, but all possess a powerful "Stampede" ability (activated by pressing shoot and jump simultaneously), which can not only destroy obstacles but also deal high damage to enemies for a short period. The game features seven distinct stages, from bustling western towns to speeding trains, and even a flying shooter stage where you ride on an eagle. Unlike *Sunset Riders*, this game introduces a health bar system (3 hit points), greatly increasing the margin for error. Combined with a variety of weapon power-ups, this makes the combat even more explosive and intense.

Game Guide:

Using the Stampede Effectively:

The Stampede is not just an offensive move; it's a lifesaver. When surrounded by enemies or about to be hit by a bullet, using the Stampede grants a brief moment of invincibility and allows you to quickly break through the encirclement.

Character Selection Recommendations:

For beginners, we recommend a character with a wider shot spread (like Buffalo Bull). His shotgun makes it easier to clear the screen of cannon fodder and the flying supply chickens. Players looking for burst damage can choose the faster-firing Moo Montana.

Prioritize Power-ups:

Shooting down the "flying chickens" in the air will drop various power-ups. The "Golden Sheriff's Badge" (Rapid Fire) and "Heavy Bullets" are especially important, as they significantly boost your damage output against bosses. Additionally, when you see a flashing supply drop, prioritize letting the team member with the lowest health pick it up.

Boss Battle Strategy:

The bosses in the game have fixed attack patterns, which can be easily memorized through practice. For example, with the first stage's boss, stay on the left side of the screen, use jumps to dodge its charge attack, and unleash your full firepower in the intervals when it throws bombs.

Flying Stage Tips:

In the eagle-riding stage, don't just camp in one corner. Use the entire screen to bait enemy bullets, making sure you always stay in the blind spots of their firing patterns.
