About the Game

The Wild Outback is an arcade top-down shooter game set in the West. It's a goofy single player game where you join cowboys in the fight against an alien invasion of mutant animals and lazer-firing robots!

The Wild Outback is a large, barren territory located in the middle of a country called Witherwest. It is a lawless, uncharted area where anything goes, and it just so happens to be the place where the aliens want to settle down. The main cast of characters who are trying to stop the invasion are volunteers, equipped with their own unique set of weapons to stop the invasion.

In this war against the invaders, you may find cowboy allies, powerups, and a whole lot of money to increase your fire power, you're going to need all the help you can get! Picking up stars will summon Cowboy Allies, whom will follow you around and aim wherever your cursor is pointed. Collect as much money as you can, as this will level you up and increase your vitality and your weapon speed.

Survive in a chaotic and wacky world where everything's out to get you!
