Fun game! Aiming visuals are a bit glitchy but definitely links the theme!

Brilliant game, could play this for a while.

The aiming had a very unintuitive display but it was a great mechanic.

Great game! Having to collect your arrow can be a bit frustrating when it goes to the other side of the map. Apart from that it was really fun game. I love the visuals of the villagers leaving the town. Tweaking the arrow mechanics or the character movement would make this game very fun to replay ! Well done. :)

nicely executed, I had trouble prioritizing whether to get the arrow or put out fires, encapsulated the theme super well :D

This is a neat little game but I have to agree with the others that the arrow not shooting toward my mouse really threw me.

I felt a little difficult to visualize the direction of the arrow at times and I missed a button to restart the game (skipping the cutscene). But apart from that it was really fun, great game.

Very fun and original game! You should make the game a bit easy. I really enjoyed it as well. At the beginning, I didn't know enemies spawn very quickly, very hard and fun game! 11.25/10

I hope you get to 20 ratings too! ;)

Pretty nice graphics, although I did find the aiming a little tricky.

Neat game! Having to go retrieve the arrow forces you to keep moving and prevents you from just puppy guarding a fuse. You also have to consider what angle you're going to shoot at to make getting your arrow back not a waste of precious time. If an enemy lights a fuse it just leaves, so you have to consider if it's even worth it to shoot the enemy or to shoot something else and just put the fuse out. Tricky and fun. Goes well with the theme and has good style :)

I love the idea! The aiming mechanic is just evil :P Nice art style too. Nice job with the game.
