Introduction
Hired Gun by Triniti Interactive Limited is a cartoony app where your task is to shoot the target given. The app is normally $1.99 but it’s free right now, so if you want to check it out without wasting your money, get it now. It’s really not worth spending the two bucks on otherwise, to be honest.
User Experience
This game is almost impossible to play. The intent behind the game is good, the graphics are good, and the design itself is good; gameplay itself is horrible. Unless, of course, you’re a superhero with x-ray eyes and the ability to slow down time.
The controls are super sensitive, which is a plus, and all of the bits are there for this to be a great game, if not for the part where it’s almost impossible to be successful.

Features
You get unlimited timed missions (good thing, since you’ll probably never win any of them), cartoon graphics, realistic sound effects, and a decent soundtrack. The sniper action is pretty cool, too, if you can manage to actually hit your target.
In-App Purchases
There are no in-app purchases.
Update Info
Hired Gun is currently running on Version 1.8.7. The latest update made some changes to the user interface.
Customer Ratings and Feedback Comments

Personal Comments by Reviewer
Honestly, if I had paid two dollars for this game, I’d be pretty angry. As I said, it’s pretty much impossible to play with any success. If you don’t believe me, or want an exercise in frustration, go ahead and download it. I dare you.
