Really nice game! Love the fact that you can stand on arrows! I included it in my compilation video series of all of the GBJam 5 games, if you'd like to take a look :)

The game got very laggy when I stood on an arrow, but besides that it was pretty cool. Mechanic reminded me of Darkwing Duck plunger weapon thingy.
Your game is amongst my favorites for this jam. The movements are perfect in my opinion and the arrow shooting and climbing mechanics is really cool.
I agree with the last comment, camera is a little issue and some music would make the game even better.
Congratulations on your entry!
You've got a fun, solid mechanic here, with the arrows making temporary platforms. It really plays to the level design which is primarily exploration-based. I also really appreciate all the background details that don't need to be there, but really give some depth to the visuals.
The boss is a bit easy, I literally hid in a corner and spammed arrows to kill it. But besides that, no complaints.
I really like the mechanics, bow is more than just a weapon. Lovely graphics too.
To be honest I didn't think I would like this game.
But I ended up playing it all the way through. Great Job!
Great concept using the bow as a weapon and as a climbing device. I really like the character art as well with his little cape.
Really liked this game. The use of the arrow as a platform is fun and the graphics are top-notch. Wish there was music.
Also, does the enemy that killed you last become weaker after you continue? If so this is a pretty cleaver way to handle difficulty.
