Not great, but has potential. Even some basic music would be nice.

I didn't realize Jam entries could be rated already when I put it up. I just wanted to make sure we put something up in case today didn't go as planned. We are going to add sound in a few hours.

Needs some difficulty tweaking. Now it is way to easy just to spam arrows for ever. Good visuals! Some sound would have been nice also.

As your background is static image I would only suggest to put more time in it and give it some detail.

Not bad game.
I guess i can see white borders on spiders texture.

tomcooper3d 2013-08-27 04:01

great job! i was shooting soo0 many arrows sipers never know what hit them

Overall this game had a great mood to it. However there was one small problem . Your spider texture should be set to clamp not to repeat.

I got 1,135,500 :P Nice little game!

danex317 2013-08-27 04:16

@Zephyr89 I was going to be really disappointed if that really fixed the spider texture issue but it doesn't. (At least not in the editor). If we come across it again in the future I will make sure to keep that in mind though. Thanks.

It begins a little slow but by the time I hit the 500 kills mark it got very challengine! needs a little improvement here and there but overall good job!

sengi 2013-08-27 16:40

This one is super addictive! Thanks)

I thought I was a talented archer until next level) That was a real hardcore)

Good combination of graphics and audio to make a nice mood. I wasn't really too sure how to get the power shots, but overall nice game!

vaelzan 2013-08-27 16:46

Not a bad game but the difficulty could use some tweaking. Right up until the end of the game I found it too easy and never had to even think about using a powerup, but in the last 10-20 seconds before I died I felt myself completely overwhelmed and lost really quickly. I also felt the button mashing to be a bit spammy and would have liked quick thinking to play a bigger part. Having said all that I still enjoyed this quite a bit and thought it was pretty good in general :) My score was 2,521,280.

Simple mechanic done really well. I had a lot of fun playing that.

mesene 2013-08-27 22:40

Was nice :D

grooveman 2013-08-28 15:58

Tightly made, but it's weakened by being able to spam arrows. Spiders sometimes spawned so rapidly, the sense of it being 10-second waves blurred a bit. I think less frequent spiders moving at variable speeds would be a better fit.

ratalaika 2013-08-28 16:51

good job, entertaining game

kristof 2013-08-28 22:43

Small but nice little game. A few more enemy types would bee cool.

conflictivelabs 2013-08-28 22:57

Good work. It needs more polish, it's quite easy if you mash button

namrog84 2013-08-29 05:34

Could you lose? I played for a while and never even barely lost. Could just infinitely spam arrows?

Perhaps have limited arrow per round or reload time or something?

crazi456 2013-08-29 07:47

Nice little entertaining game, nice work!

truiton 2013-08-29 08:47

At first I was "okay, too easy when you understand how to play"
But then my left hand started to hurt, I've got to use the arrow keys too fast.
A little repetitive at the end, but all in all, a good game :)

reaperguy 2013-08-29 13:04

A bit repetitive, maybe add some different types of enemies and make the character move and then it will be great!

p4nurge 2013-08-29 15:21

"And she never ate turnips again..." Ha! Nice simple mechanic and addictive gameplay. Could have done with a few more enemies for variety but I enjoyed playing this.

finnegan2100 2013-08-29 23:15

Nice little game. A tower defense in which you're the tower and you defend yourself :)

nickw 2013-08-30 05:43

Got 5665920, 1070 enemies killed, 1064 streak heh : D Was a fun little game but if you use two hands and mash the arrow keys you can be shooting in all directions at once pretty much constantly XD

mironix 2013-08-30 19:12

Nice pace. Can't manage to use special abilities (only figured out how to use bomb). Graphics could use some polish but generaly good job!

diptoman 2013-08-31 17:45

You should seriously consider putting up a recoil/reload mechanic. Or atleast a negative for missing targets. Right now, all I need to do is use two hands, and I can shoot in all directions at once, and never lose! :p It had me laughing out loud literally. +5 humor

georgebroussard 2013-09-01 04:18

NIce art and effort. Afraid I didn't find a lot of challenge with it. I just spammed all 4 buttons and coasted past level 20. Would work on the gameplay some more. Keep adding to it.

christinaneofotistou 2013-09-03 10:50

Ahaha I had a surprising amount of fun playing this!
I still can't leave it down.
Wow. 5/5 for fun!

paperblurt 2013-09-04 12:10

Nice game, fun game, good work! Pretty hand-drawned stuff!

pinktreeleaf 2013-09-04 18:45

Music is sick. its the best part. brought be back to the NES days. The game is fun. if phones had proper d pads I would want this game on it.

withoutpillow 2013-09-12 16:01

good visuals and gameplay.

daanvanyperen 2013-09-12 19:06

Spamming arrows wooo.
