The main mechanics are good but they need a bit of polish. The crosshair is a lil bit deflected and shooting an arrow is confusing the firsts attemps but they are quite good. \rMaybe showing the arrow placed on the bow and animating the rope indicating the tension of it will improve a lot the shoot mechanic. Also with the first steps found difficult to jump until I realise you have infinite jumps.\rAnd just by adding some moving targets the challenge will be more difficult.\rKeep it up with the good work!"},{"author_name":"Bendev","author_uid":"52623","time":"Aug 31, 2016 @ 2:55am","epoch":1472611800,"text":"The models are good and the arrow physics are sharp too. The reticle is not precise so i had to predict a little where the arrow would go.

It was interesting that you both had to compensate for gravity and the arrow being off centre. Don't forget that figuring out multiple spaces causes the character to fly!

Sound FX are not too good and some music would suit well too. Otherwise, nice bow physics. I know how frustrating unity physics system can get sometimes. Oh...

Back in ancient times, a bow was considered the peak of war technology. As it meant that the ability to kill from a distance was hugely expanded.\r\n\r\nIn Bow Em Down you have to shoot all the red spheres by using as little arrows as possible. This could be by using your super jump (spam space bar and you'll fly) or by shooting two at once. Or just doing trickshots and showing off to your friends.\r\n\r\nThe goal is search and destroy, find the spheres, destroy them, and find another.\r\n\r\nFeatures\r\n\r\nFully physics based\r\nAccount for distance, and judge where you think the arrow will hit\r\nDev Notes\r\n\r\nAt the moment there isn't much on the art side of things. This will be updated in a few hours. You can spam space bar to jump as far you can and its a pretty bad exploit, but I'm gonna keep it in because it adds value to the game.","title":"Bow Em' Down"}
