About Sheriff Down

Sheriff Down is a physics puzzle set in the Wild West. Draw back your bow and fire at the outlaws hiding in towers of wood, stone and iron. Topple a post, drop a stone, light a fuse: one clever arrow can bring the whole hideout down.

There are 44 hand-built levels across four worlds, plus a daily challenge and an endless mode called Posse Rush.

How to play

  1. Press anywhere and drag back, away from the outlaws. A longer drag fires harder.
  2. Let go to fire. Aim so the arrow, or whatever it knocks over, takes down every outlaw.
  3. Different arrows behave differently, including normal, split, fire, explosive and bounce. Tap while an arrow is in flight to split or set off the special ones.
  4. Win with fewer arrows to earn more stars, and look for hidden secrets.
  5. On a keyboard: Up and Down turn the bow, hold Space to draw it back and release to fire. P pauses and M turns the sound on or off.

What you will find
