I fired one arrow at a bug, it kept walking, fired another, it kept walking, so I assumed the arrows weren't actually effective against bugs, so I stopped firing, and that made the game pretty hard.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think the bugs should take one hit to kill or at least give some kind of feedback when they get hit.
