About Bandits Bane
Bandits Bane is a 2D Wild West shooter in five levels. The city bank has been robbed, vicious bandits are on the loose, and it is up to you to save the city. You aim with the mouse and click to shoot.
The catch is that this is not a shoot-everything game. The developer asks you to shoot only the most dangerous bandits and to rescue the hostages, while still killing all the bandits in a level to advance before the game ends. Clear all five and you win glory in the Wild West.
How to play
Move the mouse to aim and click to shoot. In each of the five levels, pick out the most dangerous bandits, avoid hitting the hostages you are there to rescue, and kill all the bandits to move on to the next level before the game ends.
Controls
- Mouse movement — aim direction
- Mouse click — shoot
Tips to win
- Check every target before you click; the hostages are there to be rescued, not shot.
- Deal with the most dangerous bandit on screen first, as the developer instructs, rather than the easiest one.
- Keep cursor movements short and controlled so your aim lands on the bandit you meant to hit.
Bandits Bane strategy guide
The story sets the rules. In Bandits Bane the city bank has been robbed and vicious bandits have taken over. You are the one who has to save the city. The developer is specific about how: shoot only the most dangerous bandits, rescue the hostages and kill all the bandits to advance. Every level is a test of those three instructions at once.
Identify before you fire. Because hostages share the screen with the bandits, a fast trigger finger works against you. Take a moment to confirm what is under your cursor before you click. Across five levels, the shots you hold back are as important as the ones you take.
Prioritize by danger. The developer tells you to shoot the most dangerous bandits, so do not simply take whichever target is most convenient. When several bandits are visible, decide which one is the biggest threat and deal with it first, then move to the next.
Aim with small movements. Moving the mouse sets your aim direction and clicking fires. Large sweeps across the screen tend to overshoot, and correcting the overshoot costs time. Keep the cursor near the action and move it in short, deliberate hops from one target to the next.
Finish the level, not just the easy part. To reach the next level you need to kill all the bandits before the end of the game, so leaving one behind is not an option. Keep track of who is still standing, and once the obvious threats are down, sweep the scene for anyone you missed. Doing that consistently across all five levels is how you earn the glory the game promises.
