When it comes to simple flash games that have the ability to turn normal, every day human beings into complete gaming addicts, Gun Blood is up there with the best of them. A western set dueling game, Gun Blood puts the player in the boots of an array of wild west gunslingers. It is then your goal to win each of the nine one on one pistol showdowns.
The task is simple, on the count of three you are to draw your six shooter pistol and unload onto your foe before he can do the same to you. It’s a simple premise but extremely addictive, aside from the simplistic fun the game offers one of the major reasons for it’s ability to draw you back in is the scores. For each round you get a score based on three factors:
Accuracy - This is based on how effective your shooting was. If you missed your opponent you’ll get a low score whereas conservative, well aimed shots will earn you a higher score.
Speed - Speed depends on, surprise surprise, how quickly you were able to dispatch your opponent. A one shot head kill will get a high score whereas a prolonged shoot out will yield a lower score.
Life - Finally the life category is judged on how many times you were hit. If you were an inch from death your score will be marked low whereas avoiding any injury will produce the best score.
Each category is a best of ten, so each round will give you a score of those combined. A perfect round will be thirty points while a bad round will leave you with around ten or fifteen points. Each round will be against a more difficult opponent than the one before, making for some nail biting action as you work your way up the ladder and face the frustratingly fast and accurate gunslingers.
Spliced into the duel rounds are bonus rounds in which the player has an opportunity to score some extra points. These consist of shooting bottles out of the air, shooting bottles off of a poor balancing man, shooting a flock of birds and finally shooting knives out of the air. Should you defeat the final gunslinger you will have the option to post your score to the high score leader boards and show the world how good, or just how bad you are at Gun Blood.
