Sure Shot

The classic retro shoot 'em-up has found its natural home on mobile devices! Its unique concept challenges 2 soldiers to catch enemies in their cross-fire without hitting each other. Whether playing in a team or as an individual, simply touch either side of the screen to fire that gun. Touch either side of the rope to position the bomb (or tilt the device), before tapping the bomb itself to score multiple kills! There are 10 different types of enemy to encounter, spread across 10 unique battlefields - including unarmed hostages that you must rescue. Play through all 10 missions and win medals for your hi scores.

Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play Sure Shot, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on Google Play, App Store. Each count stands in a roughly known ratio to a population — one Play rating per ~45 players, one Steam review per ~35 owners — and the estimates below combine those readings, weighted by how much each source can be trusted to speak for the whole game. Read the range as the answer and the headline as its middle.

Storyline

An army of 50 soldiers in green clothes was dispatched on an island to liberate this territory, Major Merc and Sgt Acer were among them. However, their Commander greatly underestimated the enemy's population and led the army into a suicidal war against with 100s of enemy in yellow clothes. Many allies were either enclaved by the enemy, ran away or even taken as hostage. Luckily for Major Merc and Sgt Acer, they managed to survive and was planning for their next move. Major Merc came up with special combat tactic he called "Sure Shot Tactic". Where 2 soldiers camp at each side of field and sandwich the enemy with the soldiers shooting on each side of the field. Only this way, they could complete this mission and saves the hostage. Now, its up to the player(s) to fight through 25 levels split in 5 different zones with 8 enemy types and 2 hostage types.

Frequently asked questions

How many people play Sure Shot?

We estimate that about 170,000 people have played Sure Shot — plausibly between 68K and 600K. Around 8,600 of them play on a given day, in a range of 680 and 90K. Both figures are modelled from public counts on Google Play and App Store rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is Sure Shot still active?

Yes. Sure Shot is holding steady — it measured within a percent of where it was a week ago. We recheck every source daily, and the charts on this page show each platform's readings over time.

How are the Sure Shot player estimates worked out?

Nobody publishes player counts for mobile games, so we infer them. Each public count we can read is converted into a population using a documented ratio — roughly one Google Play rating per 45 people who played, one Steam review per 35 owners, one Discord member per 40 players — and the live counts (Steam concurrents, members online, Twitch viewers) are converted the same way into a daily figure. Those separate estimates are then averaged in proportion to how much each source can be trusted, which is why sources that disagree widen the published range instead of cancelling out. This page is built on 2 readings taken since August 8, 2026.
