Very interesting concept! Here are some things that might improve the game:
See what arrow you are about to shoot
Remove "Arrow" as you have always have an arrow that is better/equal that could be used instead
Aim with mouse
It's still a great game without though!
The idea of random arrow types is an original take on the jam theme. And there are so many :O
Would like being able to see the next arrow I will get, so I can plan ahead strategically.
Still, great work! Can really see you put a lot of effort into this :)
The random arrow mechanic is interesting and I like the simple but aesthetically-pleasing art style. But at times the arrow switching can be frustrating, having to constantly shoot waiting for the right type so you can proceed, and the level design in some places is difficult to traverse Probably due to little time for testing within 48-hours.
With some fine tuning, this could be even more fun.
Great variety, fun game
enjoyed playing! got shot by my own arrow several times, the mechanic is straightforward and easy to understand, the gameplay is fun and challenging! keep it up!
The sheer amount of arrows you made for the game is really impressive. I really like the presentation too, it reminds me of the golden age of flash games haha. Good work!
I would have liked a UI display of which arrow to shoot next to better plan my next move. Not knowing what arrow to shoot is more trial and error. Dying with one hit is always very frustrating for me. I think it's very good that the game doesn't restart when I die. I love how you can gradually destroy the world. Overall the concept of this game is very creative in my opinion.
What this game lacks is a bit of juicyness. The controls feel good, but I had some problems with the tutorial cards that would hide my screen for a few seconds during which I could hardly move around safely.
Congrats on making this ambitious game in 2 days :)
Not very useful tip, you can click on the tutorial cards to close them early
not useful since it also fires an arrow, but it’s there
oh ok mb
A good platforming game. I didnt expected that much fun. Arts also look pretty. I like how its possible to destroy most of the platform with explosive arrow. Only problem is character has no walking animation. Must be some bug problem etc because other animations works without problem. If you add that in future and more content this game can be much more fun ^^ Nice work
This is a cool game!
I love the mechanic of there being different types of random arrows that do different things, it would be cool if you could aim using the mouse but apart from that awesome game!
I like the little graphics you have for instructions!
Pretty cool game you got. It's actually a little similar to mine in that in mine you get random spells, but here you get random arrows. It was cool to see what all the arrows did. Also interesting trying to find all the hunters.
One thing that was a bit annoying though is I wasn't sure how I always died. It always happened so fast. I suppose some where the explosions, and then maybe bouncy arrows? But then sometimes arrows did pass through me. Also really minor but I was missing my WASD controls there.
Overall though really cool idea! Good work on this!!
Novel platforming take! Excellent work!
Pretty neat game with a lot variety. The visual reminds me of story books i read when i was a little child which is a great. Good job <3
very neat trick to implement theme, I enjoyed it, some pointer ,player is getting stuck in wall , if we go too close to wall then we cant jump it gets stuck , then also at some point I didn't even need to jump , I am just walking through the gap, getting stuck in next platform and that platform is pushing me up. I really liked that crouch position lol
Pretty Cool Game, love the variety of arrows. Good Job!
It's honestly quite fun that the arrows have such a short cooldown that you're able to launch 10 in a row while walking behind them. I wish it wasn't so easy to die from explosions or arrows since it does kinda bog the pace down, but I suppose you're already very strong in this game. I liked the graphics and music creating an odd vibe for a game that I just haven't had before but yet also feels nostalgic in some ways. I think you did a good job here!
I had fun! I think that with a little more polish the gameplay and concept is really good and the game does feel nice to play. I do think that having to use arrow keys with the mouse was a little bit awkward. Good job!
Fun game, the movement is a little wacky at times but the main idea is conveyed well. I would've liked to be able to use WASD though.
The art is also pretty unique, and I like it. As for the music, it would've been nice to have a mute button.,,
The art style is really cute! The music is a little grating though. I liked the idea, but I wish I could see what the next arrow was before I fire it so that I could make a choice about what I wanted to do next.
