About the Game

It's time to become the Neon Cowboy, head out west and fight for true love!!

This retro style 2D arcade platformer follows the story of Starletta’s debut record, "Neon Cowboy". You'll become the Neon Cowboy yourself and shoot enemies with your tears (which are in endless supply) while you travel from screen to screen to save your true love, St. Monica. You'll fight robots, cyborg crocodiles, giant cobras, and any other enemies your mortal enemy-Sabot-is throwing your way. Starting in Miami you will cross the country to head to California where St. Monica is being held captive (which means this is a RIGHT TO LEFT SCROLL game).

The soundtrack is all based around Starletta's discography too! There may even be some unreleased music hidden in the game somewhere....only one way to find out!

So saddle on up, it’s time to traverse the expansive unknown to be who you were meant to be. Those West Coast lights are calling your name.

Now let’s ride!
