Jive Turkey Shoot – Action Game Review
Jive Turkey Shoot is a Action/Casual/Entertainment game from Pangea Software, Inc., first launched in 19th November 2009.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 31+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Jive Turkey Shoot Stand Out
The goal is simple: shoot the turkey and try to get as many points as possible.
• You get 150 points for each turkey
• 75 points for each corn cob, pumpkin, or sweet potato
• Shooting a bottle makes you dizzy
• Shooting the shotgun shell gives you more ammo
• Shooting the kitchen timer gives you more time.
The game ends when you run out of ammo or time, or if you accidentally shoot the skull.
This Action game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

This is a very fun game! When we searched Turkey Hunting Games or something like that. We seen this and we were excited to find this because we didnt expect there to be any Turkey Hunting games. Very fun and isnt too hard to play. Thank you for the amazing game.
We have been playing this game for years, and we still love playing it. Especially around Thanksgiving, when it has become an annual tradition. Now Im getting our 4-year old grandson addicted to it.
We love this game! So easy and fun. The noises make us laugh! We can play it over and over again.
Would be a fun game if ads didnt pop up during every game. The game doesnt pause, so the timer runs out before the ad is over, so you dont actually get to play.
Had this game for years on iTouch 3rd gen. Hasn't lost it's pleasure to play.
Is fun and entertaining. The recording feature is nice. Please add that to Otto Matic :).
This game is fun a replayable over and over again. We like the drunk mode when you shoot a wine bottle. More shot guns shells please. :).
The kids laughed and had tons of fun shooting the turkeys. Great graphics and just plain fun.
Helps eliminate pre-and-post holiday stress. Would appreciate removal of intrusive adds. As a long-time player, we don't like the distraction. We didn't sign up or pay for that; and we'll make it a point to avoid buying the advertised products.
Wish it didn't have the ads now.
Jive Turkey Shoot is exactly what it says on the tin: there's turkeys, and you shoot them. It's simple but it doesn't disappoint.
Downloaded, played, and kept touching the iAds at the top, which is the worst place to put them. Deleted the app.
This game was fun and addicting, but the addition of the ads at the top of the screen ruined the whole experience. They are distracting and you can't actually play the game with out hitting it at some point. We had to delete the game, as long as those ridiculous ads are there the app is no longer worth it.
This app is hilarious, the turkeys faces are the best! It's just a goofy app.
We d/l this game some time ago, and just launched it today. What a great fun and simple game. Plus – that picture on the high score page is freaking hilarious! We would use that as our desktop background! We could use one improvement however – ultimately there is no point in shooting many of the shotgun cartridges because your time will run out. Either put more timers in play to extend time, or get a bonus score at the end of the game for the cartridges shot. It makes no sense to shoot all those cartridges, and end the game with 80 cartridges left that you can't do anything with and you get no credit for. Other than that, is is a great time waster! Thank you to the developers.
…and then the iAds popped up. And then we deleted it. :(.
The game is ok, but that theme song is humorous as hell!! We fire up the game sometimes, just so we can laugh our guts out while playing the song! HOW CAN we GET THAT SONG, so we can play it in iTunes whenever we want without launching the game? And who's singing it, and what the heck are the lyrics? HAHAHAHAAHA!!! We're listening to it right now.
Very cute game. We don't know why people complained about them advertising other games. They only do it on the start screen where you pick the option to play the game. It's not annoying at all. Anyway, it's fun, silly, and entertaining.
This game pays homage to their first game on mac! Weekend warrior rules.
Good quick fun, thanks for the free game.
This game Is a brilliant new take on our favorite mini game on Billy frontier. It's great for thanksgiving with it's gobbling turkeys and wild theme song. A great game. Thank you Pangea, this game is turkeylicious.
Fun game! The ads honestly don't bother us and we don't get it why people complain about them, it's not like some apps where you have to wait while the ads load, just to play the game! On this game you can just tap the screen and it goes straight to your game. Besides, what can you expect? It IS a free game? FREE apreciate that. It's cute, and fun when your tired, and braindead and don't want to have to concentrate on anything. Just shoot the dang turkeys.
We know this is a free game. And we'd love to keep this game too. We'd gladly buy your other games to say thanks. But can you please stop telling us to buy your other games? It's very annoying to both new customers and potential customers.
What genius decided it would be a good idea to put a touch sensitive ad banner where you MUST touch to play the game? You should take a furlough day … Get some rest…. Your brain is done! P. S. ~ we notice none of your screen shots display an ad banner… Hmmmm.
This was a good game until they included a (touch sensitive!) banner ad INTO THE FIELD OF PLAY! It flashes. It eats screen space. If you touch it, which you will because objects you're supposed to track move toward it constantly, it will quit the game and open a commercial. Free is not cheap enough for this garbage. They're going to have to pay people to play.
This isn't a game, this is an Advertisement for all the other Pangea games. It is insulting and shamefully thrown together. It probably took them about 3 days to make it, and it is more boring than listening to Frad Charnsworth do a lecture on the ever increasing studys of the Economy's substitute inquiry's and how the advancement of pie charts and finances have a negative effect on it. Pangea, from a loyal customer who has bought ever single one of your games, thanks for nothing. Sellouts.
