I liked it quite a bit! Nice background, especially liked the parralax scrolling and the mountain. Also really liked the responsiveness of the shooting, and how it felt to hit an enemy and see them fly across the stage. Jumping was a little wonky, and I felt it was a little too easy with all the arrow pickups you get, but overall, a really solid entry for a theme that was (in my opinion) really tough.

I enjoyed this. The shooting's fun and responsive.

awsome game but i think you should changed the conrols shooting should have been space and jump up arrow key

To me it feels kinda weird to shoot with the mouse, but not be able to aim. So I'd agree with @BurntFeelings, that using W to jump and space to should would've been nicer. Other than that It was really nice, I especially liked the sound effects.

Nice game, but controllers are uncomfortable

the controls are a bit wonky, particularly the jump. The shooting was nice an responsive, but it didnt really feel like i was doing any shooting.. no visual feedback for the action, only the consequence. Though, seeing enemys shoot off the screen is always a laugh :D

course, im not a huge fan of just trying to rack up a score.. was there an end goal i just didnt find? otherwise, solid effort. the Are was rad, particularly the avatar and the background, an the enemies at least made themselves present pretty quick so i always had something to shoot at.

Nice game. For the control, isn't it left click ? You should not use the combination Arrows/space/mouse, my hand is not big enough. When you jump, you get stuck a bit everywhere on the walls. Some animations would make the game more lively. And you should add a goal. What tools did you use (unity ?) ?

I like it, especially the music. Once I'd shot a few monsters the next challenge was walljumping out of the arena :)

The.sound.effects.were.fucking.AWESOME!
I had a good laugh. Also, shooting the beasts was a satisfying feeling.

Exploiting the arrow body mechanics also allows you to get out of map, which was a fun exprerience. Since you probably made it alone, the graphics were not that bad.
A solid entry overall!

It's kinda cute.Some animations would be nice and there are collision bugs.There was also the bug where I could jump on the monster and not get hit.The controls are a bit weird for some people but overall I think it's nice.

Really cool game!
Pros
-Arrow physics are nice
-Enemies movement are funny
-Parallax is awesome!
-Ok music

Cons
-Difficulty needs to ramp up real quick.

Really nice graphics, a lil boring gameplay.

c4m 2016-08-29 13:37

The controls are pretty good and i enjoyed a lot the music and sounds!

oskardevelopment 2016-08-29 15:09

Felt a bit tricked when I was able to fall outside the game.

Cute graphics and sounds, nice arrow physics. Could've been a bit more difficult.

moeilijk 2016-08-29 15:29

Love the sound.
Gameplay was very simple.

tmat-productions 2016-08-29 15:49

Pretty good! Especially the physics! Keep it up!

mateus-culpo 2016-08-29 16:04

fun, I thought it was funny he gets caught on the wall when he jumps, congratulations!

imer 2016-08-29 16:11

As the other commenters have said, solid game
The aiming with the mouse could have as least controlled the arrow direction (left/right) - I found myseld expecting that a lot
Jumping was a bit too floaty and you could just stick to walls and exit the level :D
All in all pretty decent though

jimbly 2016-08-29 16:28

Fun little game. I enjoyed figuring out how to wall jump to get out of the level... Arrow shooting felt really good.

awesomedannyray 2016-08-29 16:49

Charming game. The arrows shouldn't be collide-able by the player or crates though. I could jump out of the arena if I pile enough arrows.

aroscillo 2016-08-29 18:15

Nice game.. I'm kicking myself I was gonna do a platformer with a bow and arrows. I did a top down shooter instead....

sneeuwpopsneeuw 2016-08-29 20:03

The arrow's felt a bit like lasers to me, Maybe a fire trail would make them look more like arrows.

mrbrenan 2016-08-29 20:21

Nice ! Fun and the physic is well done :)

nnnnneeeedddd 2016-08-29 23:03

Really liked the sound effects. The gameplay was fun!! Additional sound effects, for stuff like, the bow being fired, would have been good :)

nnnnneeeedddd 2016-08-29 23:04

Edit: Ok, ignore the bow thing, because there is :/. Great game!! :P

tjxx 2016-08-29 23:20

This was fun. I liked the unpredictability of the monsters. I did notice that after you die, you can still use arrows. Not a big deal, but I enjoyed the game overall. Well done!

captainyods 2016-08-29 23:47

This was quite fun

kadealicious 2016-08-30 02:05

I like how the arrows fall when they hit a wall. Creating a stack of them proved to be quite entertaining. :)
