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.

Submitted

Simple and very well polished!

I really enjoyed the shoot and jump on the arrow mechanism!

Submitted

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!

Submitted

The mechanic of use the arrows to climb is very funny. You did a really good work with this game.

I miss the music and the movement of the camera sometimes is too fast.

The graphics are great!

Submitted

Very good game with nice graphics and good design. This game brings back memories of my childhood when I used to play with my Gameboy. Good Work!

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!

Submitted

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.

Submitted

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.

Unfortunately, the flipping camera made me sick and I couldn't finish the game, but it is a very cute game and I LOVED the ridiculous walk cycle!!!!
