I'm not crazy about the sfxr sound effects. I don't like the feel of the jumping or maybe it's the jump speed.
What I do like... everything else. Very charming sprites, great bow mechanic, nice use of theme, rad song, decent difficulty that curves up at a reasonable pace, and an awesome title.
Good work!
I got to round 4, really enjoyable.
I think you've done a great job incorporating the theme into the mechanic--the one-arrow limit, the feel of the arrow, and the way the level defines the consequences, really make the game stand out from other jumpy-shooty entries. Also, the main character's art is wonderful. And the randomized elements of the rounds is a nice touch.
