Ready Steady Play Offers A Bunch Of Rootin' Tootin' Cowboy Mini-Games

Looking to kill some time this weekend with a fun iOS app? Then take a look at Ready Steady Play, a new addition to the App Store that offers players a series of addictive mini-games set in a virtual recreation of the rootin' tootin' Old West. The new app, created by the same developer behind the popular Ready Steady Bang (Hover Studio), is available to download now for $1.99 and can be enjoyed on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Offering gamers "a Wild West-themed game starring an affable cowboy and his trusty hobby horse," Hover Studio explains in the application's release notes:

Easy to learn and hard to master, Ready Steady Play expands on the beautifully minimal aesthetic and gameplay of its predecessor, Ready Steady Bang.

Promising expansions over time, Ready Steady Play currently features three games for iOS device owners to get stuck into: "Shooting Gallery," "Hobby Hurdles," and "Coin Shooter." Each one indeed features an ultra-minimalistic setup that's refreshing to see in an iOS game; most of the time, color is limited to just one or two elements on-screen, with everything else in Ready Steady Play appearing in grayscale. This doesn't mean the app is minimalistic in terms of its feature-set, however. Utilizing Apple's Game Center, the following social elements also appear in the application:

• Sync your achievements and high scores
• View online leaderboards
• See your friends' high scores go past as you beat them in-game
• Challenge your friends to beat your achievements and high scores
• Invite your friends to play against you

You can pick up Ready Steady Play on the App Store now, and as mentioned it's available for $1.99 and is optimized for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. On the other hand Ready Steady Bang, the app's "spiritual predecessor," is available for $0.99. [gallery]
