Ready Steady Bang is a beautifully minimalist quick-draw game. Duel against 10 different computer outlaws or challenge a friend in local multiplayer. With over 30 unique death animations to unlock and a progress gallery to track your victories, it's a stylish test of your reflexes and nerves.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

88/100

Ready Steady Bang is a masterpiece of minimalist aesthetics and high-tension gameplay. It’s a 1v1 quick-draw duel where your only goal is to tap the screen faster than your opponent when the word 'BANG' appears. It sounds simple, but the 'Steady' part is what gets you. The delay between 'Ready' and 'Bang' is randomized, leading to nerve-wracking moments of anticipation where a false start means instant death.

The animation style is incredible—charming, stick-figure cowboys with dozens of unique (and often hilarious) death animations. Whether you’re playing against the increasingly difficult AI or a friend on the same device, the game is a blast. It is a perfect example of a game that does one thing perfectly. It’s stylish, fast, and incredibly satisfying to finally outdraw that level-10 computer opponent.

Tapping before the 'BANG' counts as a foul, giving your opponent a free shot to take you down.

Needs to be updated!

I loved this game so much! It was my favorite at amusement parks where we would challenge those in line around us since it takes two seconds to explain how to play. I miss it. I want an update so I can keep challenging friends and family.

I played this all the time when i was a kid. But i could never beat the last guy. so when i came back 12 years later to redeem myself it said that it wasn’t updated for this iOS version so i may never be able to redeem myself. It would mean the world to me if the developers from cowboy games could update this forgotten masterpiece.

Please please please UPDATE!

I love this game and I've been waiting very patiently for Cowboy Games to update this game. I'm probably one of your original players and although 'Play' is good, it's just not nearly as fun. Please just let us know if you will not be updating this totally cool game so we can stop waiting for something that may never happen.

Game needs to be updated for latest IOS version

I love this game but it is not compatible with my iphone as it says that the creator would need to update it for the latest IOS version. Hopefully someone can work on it and get it out for all lovers of the game just like me. Thank you

I really wanted to play this

I first bought this and was excited and ready to play but the game for as far as I know dose not work with iOS 18.2 and the game has not been updated for 10 years so I believe that I will not be updated any time soon and I’m trying to refund it

I would give it 5 stars…

I would love to Bang again, but it needs to be updated in order for me to do that. I haven’t played it for a while, but I enjoyed it when I did. Please update this so we can play again!

Needs an update!

I love this app! I got it when it released and it’s always been a favorite to bring out when there’s a bit of down time. Hopefully the developer can update it! Otherwise, it’s been a good ride 🥹

Great game. Fantastic soundtrack. Please update!
Wed Dec 21 2022 onekneedownmoto

The gameplay is great, no doubt, but I think people miss how great the soundtrack and SFX are. They take the game from great to awesome in my opinion. Would love to see updates to make it compatible with new IOS.
