Sometimes the arrow change the speed while it's flying to the target. I would have enjoyed it more it there was no jump needed

I pressed space bar and won. I don't understnd what was that supposed to be.

Seems a bit too easy at the moment, but fun.

It was easy but surprisingly fun!

Pretty easy game. Collision was a bit off sometimes.

I quite liked it actually, I liked what APPEARED to be a slow motion effect, but that should have been emphasised a little bit more. :)
A bit more variety in the gameplay might have helped this game really excel. :)

Would be cool to see movement playing a bigger role. I was able to just stand in one spot.

Good job!

While I get how this is connected to the theme, it's too easy to just fire off random shots and hope they hit, since your buddy comes along and gives you a new quiver almost instantly.

Like everyone said, it is too easy, and I think it lacks some more mechanics...

Nice and simple game. Sadly it's very short and mainly an one button game (space), because it's not really necessary to move. It would be nice, if the mercenaries would shoot back, so that the player is motivated to move and to make the game a bit more challenging. Or maybe you can only shoot straight down, so again the player needs to move. Another idea would be to lose the movement altogether and use the keys to control the direction in which the arrow is shot, but this seems much harder to me.

Nice little game, I had fun.

I enjoyed the concept, and it's fun to Play, but it could be so better ! Perhaps allow Player to target with the mouse ? Furthermore, player movement seems useless.

I think your audio is very solid. The concept and execution is actually pretty cool but there's not a lot to it. I agree with Metal Atrophy and LukuluK as well.

Thanks to everybody that tried the game and left a comment. The Ludum Dare was a bit of a surprise for me and came when I was very busy with a lot of things. In retrospect it would have been better if the enemy fired back or if the slow-motion was better emphasised. I will definitely take your feedback on board. Next LD I will be sure to include more complexity and make the game more enjoyable.
