About Cowboy VS Martians
Martians have landed on earth and it seems like they don't want to be friendly! Take your gun, comb your mustache and let's start shooting bullets! Hey Cowboy, can you kill them all?
How to play Cowboy VS Martians
There is very little to learn before your first run. Nothing about the control scheme is unusual; the table below covers all of it. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. There is no penalty for failing, so push a little harder than feels safe.
