- I really liked the game, such a fun concept and awesome upgrades. Good job! I think the aspect you'd be good putting some polish in is the upgrades because sometimes piercing bites you back due to the arrow being too far. Also, the dash can be annoying since you don't dash through enemies so you cannot escape when trapped in the corner without an arrow. Good job!
How does the game fit into the theme?
You're an archer with only one arrow. Every shot counts — miss, and you’ll have to retrieve it while dodging deadly orcs. Fight your way through trap-filled dungeons, outsmart your enemies and make every shot matter. One arrow. Endless danger.

Great game, although a little unoptimized (My browser uses the integrated GPU, but still)
Also I hope the cover references what I think it does :)
Cool idea of only having one arrow, but there were a couple things that did annoy me about the game, it was very easy for the orcs to trap you in a corner and you get stuck, and also i wish the arrow pierced enemies. Otherwise a pretty good entry!
Thanks for the feedback. Arrows pierce enemies but you have to choose proper upgrade :)
I really like the idea of only having one arrow and really timing the right shot and lining up multiple orcs. The art looks really polished too. It is really frustrating to have to get past the orcs with no means of defense and especially if I acutally have hit an orc, it feels like I'm punished for upgrading the penetration because my arrow is further away now. Maybe when you hit the shot, you get it back immediatly or it respawns closer to you. Wall bounce also makes the arrow land very far away and when you hit the boss, he just sits on the arrow and it's hard to get ihm off it. Maybe if the moveset would give more opportunities to dodge the orcs it could make retrieving the arrow more fun without taking away the difficulty. or maybe if the orcs don't perfectly mirror your movments you could feint them.
Hmmm really good game, the enemies get a little bit close tho making it hard to move around...
Very good interpretation of the theme, the music and graphics are quite nice and maintain a unique identity. The game is fun and very challenging, it was really well done. The only thing that made me a bit uncomfortable were the colliders of the enemies and the arrow; they’re very tight. But overall, it was a very good game.
Very cool game !!
Amazing game! Difficulty is a bit hard, but it forces you to choose the right upgrades as you die and continue on. Particle effects are great, but it would be cool to also see some dynamic lighting effects in the future.
Great work!
Brilliant!! But you really need to work on the difficulty curve.. I didnt survive the second room
Super cool!
I kept expecting dash to go in the direction of movement, as opposed to the direction I’m facing. Oops, paid for that with my life a couple times.
Yeah, we had some discussion about it. I wanted to do it in movement direction. Unfortunately, it was decision of my colleague’s girlfriend. Shame on her :(
Yeah, totally get the confusion xd
In our case, we actually have a reason to dash in the aiming direction - our game isn’t a run-and-gun with a minigun or something. You’ve got only one arrow, so after shooting, the mouse becomes your dash controller. Without that, you could just let go of the mouse and play on keyboard until you retrieve the arrow - this way, the mouse still matters during that time.
Mega Fajne. Troche rzeczy jest do dopracowania jak np. poruszanie siÄ™ ale i tak bardzo fajna. No i miniaturka top
Dzięki za opinię! Wiadomo, tylko 2 dni na zrobienie gierki. Nas jest tylko dwóch i daliśmy z siebie 30% :D
Love your thumbnail XD. Gameplay is fun, and the goblins are challenging... So fast!
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you had fun playing our game :D
It was way more fun than I expected (THE ICON).
Thanks for feedback! We are glad you had some good time with our game!
