This is Niche Spotlight. In this column, we regularly introduce new games to our fans, so please leave feedback and let us know if there’s a game you want us to cover!

Today’s Spotlight is Sky Noon, a high-flying multiplayer shooter that was recently released by Lunar Rooster and Reverb Triple XP.

The game is set in a floating Wild West-inspired world complete with jetpacks and air-powered weaponry. Each player is equipped with a grappling hook, and the levels are littered with jump pads and other mobility-focused power-ups.

The guns in the game don’t directly harm players, but instead cause varying degrees of knockback. To score, players must use their weapons and gadgets to knock their opponents off the map instead of outright killing them like in a more traditional shooter. You can check out a trailer above.

Sky Noon is available on Windows PC via Steam for $14.99.

Here’s a rundown of the game:

Grab your hat, lasso, and grappling hook, and get ready for a high-flying Wild West showdown!

Taking place in a reinvented Wild West universe where the frontier floats among the clouds, Sky Noon players take the role of hired gunslingers that battle opposing cartel fighters in the sky. There are no health meters in Sky Noon; instead players use various super-powered compressed air weapons to send enemies flying out of their boot spurs! Grappling hooks and lassos are literal lifelines preventing players from falling off into the great blue sky. Combined with other items like steam-powered jetpacks, jump pads, and teleporters, cowboys need to be quick on the draw and light on their boots in the fast-paced, aerial mayhem of Sky Noon.

Key Features:

• Weapons With a Big Blast – Make use of devices powered by super-compressed air to fling opponents off levels – knock them varmints straight to the moon!
• Lassos, Grappling Hooks, and Jump Pads… Oh My! – Freely move throughout the floating levels by using quick-firing grappling hooks. Take advantage of jump pads for quick long leaps and lasso cowboys back to levels. Additional items like teleporters and air-powered jet boots can give a tactical advantage or help escape a close brush with death.
• Online Multiplayer Mayhem – 2-6 players can jump into modes like Free For All, Team Deathmatch, King of the Hill, and Cart, with more game modes coming in the near future

• The Floating Frontier – Choose seven distinct levels; from the cozy Saloon town, the tall towers and hovering blimps of Hightown, or the tornado dangers of Whirlwind, gamers will discover that unique level mechanics can be used to their advantage.
• Single Player Time Trials – Jump and swing through checkpoints in these time trials levels and compete for the top trial times.
