As someone bad at using bow mechanics I had a bit of trouble with this one - I like the concept but wasn't very good at judging distance based on bow strength.

The speed of the game felt a little off, too - if there wasn't a timer it would have been a relaxing pace, but I think things moved a little slow for the timer to feel like a fair gameplay addition. Given the lack of music and slow movement maybe it would be a more enjoyable experience without a timer? Really lean into the chill vibe you've already got going on a little

I like the game a lot, though it was a bit hard to aim the bow. All the artwork and the concept itself were super cute, and I like the idea of saving tortoises from perpetual bloon drifting.

The main issue I have is that the pacing feels a bit awkward, both in terms of how slowly the tortoises move in the air, the speed at which the bow travels (granted I didn't upgrade it since getting coins was a pain) and the speed of the timer going on in the corner. I can't tell you exactly how it could be adjusted since maybe slow-like-a-tortoise was what you were going for, but I would've preferred if things moved a bit faster in general.

I had a good time overall, and good luck on y'alls future endeavors!

We really appreciate the constructive feedback. I agree about the slowness, and it was indeed hard to see where the arrow was traveling and it’s trajectory. I’m happy you found the the concept interesting - thank you!

Fun to play. My profile pic might give away my slight bias though.
