Very cool. The 5 arrows mechanic made the game challenging but very fun.

Very nice work! The graphics have obviously received a lot of work, especially the arrow shoot effect (fab!). One thing that could be improved though is that dying instantly restarts the game, which is a little jarring. Otherwise, solid entry!

My favorite entry so far. The game is well designed and it feels very satisfying to shoot arrows. The graphics are simple yet effective and give the game a nice atmosphere.

I could see myself playing this for quite some time. The sounds, graphics, and mechanics really mesh together nicely.

That Pixel artwork is really great, I especially love the font.
However it feels a lot like Super Crate Box, it may be a coincidence but it has so many elements in common that it almost seems unlikely.
Still fun to play.

I laughed at the title. :) Nice Towerfall clone!

very towerfall-ish, the arrow-trails looked great, found the best strategy was to just wait at the bottom of the screen

The title is funny and the game works well; My only complaint is that the game would be a lot better had the player not been a one hitpoint wonder. Just popping back to the beginning, while minimizing restart time, is jarring and somewhat annoying, especially when you didn't even know what you hit.

I *really* love your graphics style. I wish mine was as as beautiful. The game is a lot of fun, too! I liked it a lot to put one arrow through a whole army of bad guys!

It lacks a bit of polish, but who's game doesn't in the compo :3

Let me say this first: I had SO MUCH fun playing your game. The controls and the mechanics felt so good! In fact there were moments in which I felt like a badass. Like when I killed three enemies with a single arrow, while falling to the pit and then double-jumped to get it back.

Really great job!

The graphics were a little glitchy.
The concept was funny, the art was great and the controls were responsive. A very nice entry!
