Doc's Shufflin' Shootout

In the Wild West, it's always you against the odds. Take control of a gun-slingin' hero with special bullet powers that come with a catch: they're cards that you can collect!

Order your bullets to take advantage of fun combos and synergies to take on increasingly difficult hordes of Doc's Bandits.

Bullets:
Buckshot - 5 bullets at once! Also copies the effect of the previous bullet in the clip.

Lasso - Get over here! Brings enemies closer and stuns them for a short time so you can fire away at close range.

Poison - Damage over time. It's poison. Has a chance to spread to other sickly bandits.

Ice - Enemies get reeeeal sloooooow

Arcing - Has a chance to damage nearby enemies and transfer status effects

Piercing - Great for dealing with pan-covered fellas that don't really fight fair. Can hit multiple enemies in a line with a chance to spawn shrapnel

Fire - Enemies will BURN. They also will run away

Burst - Bullet explodes on contact, sending bullets all willy nilly and o'er yonder

Rat - Self-explanatory. Or is it?

Known issue: Arcing bullets misbehave and have a chance to crash the game
