This was a nice game! I enjoyed the take on the theme and the zooming mechanic really spices up the difficulty! The graphics fit in very nicely. Good job!

The game got intense when the camera was super close. Good game overall! Good job.
A great use of the theme. I found myself mashing the arrow keys frantically at the end trying to repel the unseen attackers. Certainly an engaging experience!

I played until it zoomed into a pixel :) lol (and then it started to zoom back out). The knights were no match for me mashing all four directions at the same time (I bet they didn't expect that level of archery from a man with a crossbow). I think this is a good idea, just needs more time for balancing and some juice. Good job!
Whoa. I'm coming back to play this some more later. Awesome work!
unfortunetelly i couldn't unzip. maybe you couldmake it available for dropbox, that would be nice, buti've read the description and like the concept nevertheless
its perfect... i like it
this game is amazing. when the camera gets close, this gets really intense, and the gameplay is also good. The only problems are, that when you move, you don't face the direction you are shooting at, but the direction you are walking at, which causes you to shoot out an arrow out of your back, and that there is no cooldown on the crossbow. if it had a cooldown, you also wouldn't be able to shoot in 4 directions at a time. but overall greta game!
I liked this game ! I caught myself playing it a couple of times. I think the zoom isn't fast enough, as the game is pretty easy starting up, and gets challenging when closed up. If you want to get to the challenging part quickly, the zoom is really slow.
I also managed to spam the projectiles in every directions fast enough to make it look more like a shotgun than a crossbow, but otherwise, the game is pretty solid !

Very entretaining game with interesting mechanics, it was hard at first to know the controls, I was just escaping from the knights smashing the mouse and the space key when I realized that the arrows were the attack keys. I would only add some kind of level system or weapons and player upgrades to make the game less repetitive, or at least put some power ups during the game. Good job! Keep on it!!
A nice and simple arena battler with solid controls, it had good feel when playing it. I would have enjoyed if there was some type of progression included. Whether that was with more and/or varied enemies, or with the player character somehow. Other than that great work!
Great game! Very cool and interesting! :D
Great game! It really challenged me until I figured out that I could mash all four directions at once. Hope to see more from you in the future.
Good game, very nice take on the theme!
