Kill Shot (video game)

Players complete missions to collect in-game money. In each mission, players must kill a minimum number of enemies. Missed targets may flee and cause the player to fail. Using either in-game money or premium purchases, players can upgrade their equipment, allowing them to complete black ops missions with tougher requirements. Players may also engage in daily challenges, which are offered over a 28-day period. A special multiplayer mode is available.{{cite web|url=http://www.adweek.com/socialtimes/hothead-games-fires-kill-shot-onto-ios-android/552626|title=Hothead Games Fires Kill Shot onto iOS, Android|last=Shaul|first=Brandy|work=Adweek|date=2014-09-25|accessdate=2016-06-04|archive-date=2016-07-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160701183741/http://www.adweek.com/socialtimes/hothead-games-fires-kill-shot-onto-ios-android/552626|url-status=live}}
