Made to to round 4, really fun and enjoyable.

Really fun and polished, an excellent game. Only one arrow! Same idea here! ;)

Love the graphics! :)

Awesome job with the one arrow theme. I tried that myself, but I like your implementation a lot better.

Nice concept and cool pixel art style :)

very fun, great art and sound :)

Neat game, it was a lot of fun. The only complaint is that the music piles on top of itself every time you restart the game after you die. The graphics are great and gameplay is super!

What a hoot! Great job on the art and straightforward simple gameplay.

I love the graphics!, the idea is very nice too but a bit difficult. Interesting, good job!.

Fun game, good graphics and nice mechanic.

zekyon 2013-12-17 01:37

The graphics are awesome and the audio fit good too. Funny game, I like it

Like a medieval super crate box... with a creepy owl. :) Not bad!

torcado194 2013-12-17 01:38

this was very cute and polished! i enjoyed the art style, no mistakes.. the only thing i found wrong with it was that the jumping was a little wonky. great entry!

Got to round 3. I like it. Simple, great use of theme, sharp and polished looking.

Fun game, got to round 7. It's pretty addicting.

I'll start off with what I don't like.
I'm not crazy about the sfxr sound effects. I don't like the feel of the jumping or maybe it's the jump speed.

What I do like... everything else. Very charming sprites, great bow mechanic, nice use of theme, rad song, decent difficulty that curves up at a reasonable pace, and an awesome title.

Good work!

Love the artwork and bow mechanic! Gameplay is a little bland. Overall enjoyable.

zemmi 2013-12-17 10:26

Your tiles are gorgeous. Kind of wish there was no ceiling, when enemies get up there there isn't really anything I can do but wait. Made it to round 6 then when I had killed everything the next round didn't load. Lots of fun though, would've liked to play further.

Cool game, nice graphics. Good take on the theme.
I got to round 4, really enjoyable.

cappelnord 2013-12-17 22:03

Fun little game! I think it would be more interesting, if the bow would fire by itself, if you keep it drawer for too long. The music was a little weird but I heard far worse :)

madflame991 2013-12-18 11:21

Fun little game with good graphics and right on theme. The only complaint might be the repetitive music which gets annoying after a while, but I get that making music is not easy, given the time limit.

alchiggins 2013-12-18 23:15

Made it to round 3, all around solid entry.

bitslap 2013-12-19 23:51

Awesome art here and cool game

thewhitellama 2013-12-20 02:40

Pretty nice game I think. The music is a little bit annoying over a while, but it really makes fun to shoot the enemies with the arrow. Would have been nice if the arrow stayed were I shot one enemy. The graphics are awesome and the theme too!

Round 3. The keyboard controls feel a little too tightly clustered--would be nice with a gamepad.

I think you've done a great job incorporating the theme into the mechanic--the one-arrow limit, the feel of the arrow, and the way the level defines the consequences, really make the game stand out from other jumpy-shooty entries. Also, the main character's art is wonderful. And the randomized elements of the rounds is a nice touch.

venks 2013-12-20 07:15

Very solid game playing experience right here. One of the better 'shoot once' games. Really love the graphics and the controls were very solid.

soy_yuma 2013-12-20 22:17

Nice idea! I found the jump a bit too fast, but it's a good experience! Good job!

moist 2013-12-21 13:10

Amazing artwork. Quite fun to play too. Well done.

finefin 2013-12-22 14:22

looks and plays nice. also sticks to the theme. good work!

xbelanch 2013-12-26 11:25

Nice graphics. Pure fun platform. Only I've found the jump a bit faster.

ViliX 2013-12-28 15:26

Made it to round 3 :) Nice and lovely game. 4/5 for fun.

blushine 2013-12-29 14:54

Very cute pixel art. Jumping felt a little too fast, and I'm not crazy about the level design either, but the bow was quite fun to use. Overall, a fun little game.
