Bang! Howdy


 * If you are looking for the Whirled game, go to Bang! Heroes.

'''Bang! Howdy''' is Three Rings' second online game project. Instead of being pirate-themed, however, this game is set in the Wild West. It's also quite different from Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates, with a very different style of play as it uses 3-D Java rendering, causing the game to use more memory, therefore some computers that can run Puzzle Pirates fine may still struggle with this new game.

About the Game
Bang Howdy is a third-person strategy game that can be described as "Bnav meets Cops & Robbers meets Mario Kart". Details are scarce at the moment, but some things are nonetheless public knowledge:
