Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Its already 2023 now. It is one of the best games we ever played on Iphone. This game is creative and fun. It reminds of the good old time. Hope developers of this game are doing great with their life. It would be great if you guys can come back and invent more modes hahaha. We are sure there are many people who played this game and remember this game till now.
You can tell a lot of hard work was put into creating this app. The animations are charming & the games are fun. Just a great experience overall.
Have you seen their short clips about the cowboy? Check them out guys! They're soooo cute.
Loving the game play! We can't help but chuckle out loud almost every time the cowboy 'dies,' especially when he says, "Awww.".
A very nice bundle of games well worth the small price tag.
Fantastic "Wild West" design and skill based gameplay combine to make a great game at an amazing price. Enjoyable for older and younger players alike, each mini-game is loads of fun to learn, but challenging to master. And to top it off, there are zero in-app purchases, which we respect and appreciate wholeheartedly.
Seriously.. It's easy on the memory, the game is beautiful yet simple so it's easy on battery, there's no internet requirement, it's a bunch of games in one and each one is guaranteed to entertain for those long bus rides or quick elevator stops. This isn't your "Hitman Sniper" but it's the perfect grab and go game when you're looking for some mindless, time killing entertainment.
Finally, a truly original game on an iPhone. We've all seen shooting galleries at the fair, but on an iPhone? We're sure there are some apps, but none compare to this one. It creates a sense of nostalgia that can't compare to any other app in the store. Not only does it supply you with 5 games in one, but each game could easily be a standalone app. This game is very worth the measly buck they are asking for it. We are very pleased and cannot wait to see more games from this developer. Highly recommended.
This is a go-to set of games when we just have a few minutes. Would like a little more if it kept 5 or so of your top scores. It gets a little discouraging to try for the High Score every time if you just happened to be In the Zone that ONE time.
Update it!!! Its such a fun game.
We gave the extra star because the first three games are fun, easy to understand and somewhat challenging. It's the Crazy Cattle that's unplayable. There is no control in throwing the rope. It's such a futile game and because of that we can't even progress to the last game. We tried going to their website but forget that. They're unreachable.
That's a real nice game! It's just simple and cool enough for 5 stars.
Not very often do we write a review so we hope that gives you a good idea of how amazing this game is. There are multiple games inside this and you unlock them all as you get better at the previous one. The game are very simple yet very well thought out and they are fun to play at any age. Your money will definitely be well spent on this game. Or if your like us you found it for free. If you only have one game on your phone it should be this one. Enjoy.
Well made. Great game design + plenty of polish.
This game is incredible for both quick fixes & longer sessions. No matter what, "Ready, Steady, Play" should be your first choice. The multiple mini games with very different styles mean you can easily find something you'll enjoy, & the quality of each individual game means whatever you choose will be a satisfying experience. We couldn't recommend this more.
Started the game with laughter after we shot the balloon, started playing the first mini game and we loved it, got just shy of 1,000 a few runs in. Art style is great, the feel of the game is great, devs sense of humor is great, we started to fail on purpose to see what else they did, loved the horse run challenge, best fail animations we've seen. 5/5 stars all around, now we just need: Ready Steady Bang.
Various games that increase in difficulty and challenge reaction a d coordination.
This game is the perfect balance between simple intuitiveness and interesting complication. By far the best game in the App Store.
Why don't you have this yet? You yellow.
This game is perfect for short pick up sessions.
This game deserves to be at the top of the heap! We loved Ready Steady Bang, and this is every bit as good or better! Every game in it is inventive and fun and really all shine of their own accord. Stop reading this and download it already. This should make Apple's highlight list for sure. Outstanding.
So simple, and yet so fun to play! The challenge of shooting bad guys while being careful not to hit the innocent is our favorite, but the horse riding game is oddly addicting and always puts a smile on the face of anyone watching. With several games to choose there is something for everyone regardless of age.
We love these mini games! There are several mini games in there that you might have played in other F2P downloads, but it's the whole package that counts! The cowboy is very cute and the whole art style is very charming. The animation has a good sense of humor to it as well. We really wish we found this game sooner to support the dev because it's totally worth paying for.
We can't what till more mini games come out.
We only wish it had night mode. We wanna play it at night without burning our eyes.
Simple graphics but soooo much fun!!! Btw, u guys could put some rewards to custom our Cowboys, would be cool…. Loved the new modes! CHEERS.
Never gets old. Lots of variety and simplicity. So well done and all with a great witty grin. Always brings a smile to our face whenever we play. Thanks guys.
We love this game like crazy and it never gets boring either!! We thank you greatly for making extra mini games and also for inventing such a fun and addictive game! We have a question though… Is this all the mini games for this game? Or is there gonna be more.
This game is pure unmitigated fun! Great music and plenty of challenging mini games.
Pretty good!!! Easy to use phone shooter game, try it and see for yourself.
We absolutely love this app. Each of the mini games are extremely well thought out and every animation and sound effect is polished to perfection. It's one of the only apps we've installed that we regularly open since our initial download… Months ago. Congrats on a great game.
This game is very enjoyable. Love the very minimal graphics and gameplay. Every time we play this game we feel like we're in a fun carnival set in the Wild West. The mini games are simple yet challenging. The developers promise to include more mini games which is great.
For the version 1.0,it is a GREAT ready steady game,now it is just crash! You support iOS 5, that is why we purchase it, right? But after a several bad version update, the animation become super lag, and with this version, finally, it is just crash! We still hope you can fix it with next version.
The design forward games modeled off classic handheld titles have the extra spark that only comes with love and passion.
Verry addictive and well designed.
Its realy fun game, thx! Good work, perfect.
Very fun game. Keeps you playing for a long time.
The game is very cute and addictive, it's easy to play but challenging to get high score, we love it.
This is an amazing app. The mini game are easy and fun. It's a great little app to have around. We suggest it 100%.
This game will keep us entertained for months. The 3 games are all fun and challenging. The music is great and the character is cute. The graphics and physics are really good.
This is a simple game, yet fun game. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed. We love the simplistic artwork and the sound design makes us smile.
We love the game but the town must grow.
Simplicity is the best! We love your style.
Like a small piece of jigsaw puzzle? :).
Really cool. Shooting the cowboys is our favourite. Add colours maybe? Seems a bit dull.
BANG!!! BANG!!! Awesome game! You must have it.
A game that's simply beautiful and perfect. More than that, 3 games that are simply beautiful and perfect.
A superb succeeder for Ready Steady Bang! So memorable.
These games are great; easy to learn and challenging enough without being brutally hard! Well done.
