Arrows Between Worlds

I love this! Arrow sometimes seemed to go off in a completely different direction than where I aimed a couple time. Usually when it was due left it would fly more top-left. Otherwise no complaints, very fun

Hi @simplepotential! Actually, the arrows lose accuracy if you don't load the shot by holding down the firing button! I should have made that clear, sorry! Hahah but thanks for playing!

Holy crap Batman, that makes a lot of difference!

Very fun game good job !

Neat idea, looks really nice. Aiming seems a little tricky, is it impacted by player movement?

Great work!

Cool idea, however I do have a few suggestions. Mainly they are about an bug where arrows dont seem to go where they are meant to, but I would also suggest that you make it so you get more arrows at a time or they refill faster, however, I do understand that time was a huge roadblock.

I got 3500 scores! Nice Pixel art. Good music and sound effects. Good job.

Love the idea! The game is really pleasing :hearts:

I would be happy if you'd check my game too, it's my 1st one :)

I'm not completely sure how the arrow reserve played out, but I had fun regardless ! Kinda wish the switch between levels, or worlds, would change something in the game play, other than simply reskinning the enemies.
Other than that, it's a fun entry ! Congrats !

Great graphics and great work ! Congrats :3

it was a fun game to play and the mechanics of the bow. nice entry!

It was really fun to play and the theme was respected ! i like how you interpreted it! goog job ^^

love it, fun game, simple, overall good job.

Does your game really have an ESRB Rating? How did you get one so fast, and for a gamejam game?

you have created a nice simple game

it's a shame that the game doesn't communicate properly with the player... (what to do when you shoot all the arrows, how to get arrows, why it's better to shoot by stretching the string properly, etc.)

The difficulty is unnecessarily raised even by the fact that quite small locations, and I don't see why. And I understand the idea that the character can't walk while shooting, but then the enemies are unnecessarily fast. or that they are fast but that a man can move at any time.

I know I sound harsh, but it's these little things and different mechanics that bring down an otherwise great game. :)

High score! I felt that it was an effective little arcade shooter, hampered mostly by a few bits of polish it lacked. The mechanics were really simple and clear, which was really really nice, but things like aiming reticle being slightly off, and the aiming sometimes seeming to change even more when didn't fully draw, made the gameplay a bit less enjoyable than it could've been. Overall really fun game - little stuff like this just really matters in these arcade style games.

I also really liked the art - particularly the outline around the letters. I found it really cute!

@lorwon, thank you!

@matt-ravenhall, the accuracy of the shot is controlled by the loading time of the shot.

@reyansh, I chose to make the player focus on concentrating shots and trying for maximum accuracy, and be well rewarded for it.

@mantou, nice score! thanks a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@lightterradog Thanks! I played your game today, and liked it a lot too! Very nice and pleasant to play!

@fluffy-kaeloky Thanks for the feedback. These suggestions are great, but it's because I had very little time to develop the game, so for the jam I decided to make a super simple game, but challenging and innovative in some way. But thanks!

@amarokczukay, @douxie-joke, @kyntoue, @nija463, thanks for the words, and thanks for playing!

@jeremia, gee, I never would have imagined that someone would think that hahahah
I made this cover in the style of playstation 1 covers just for aesthetic purposes. Obviously it's not a physical game, and it doesn't have an ESRB rating either hahaha :)
But it is a valid question haha thanks!

@skel3ton Thanks for the words, I largely agree. But the direction I took was precisely to make the player need to think carefully before shooting. I had very little time to develop the game, so I couldn't take care of the difficulty balance and set up a more sophisticated design. Certainly if I were to take it further, I would change a lot of things. But thanks again for the good feedback! =)

@nardandas Thanks so much for the feedback! I'm seriously thinking about giving it a better polish to fix these imperfections, and these responses have been quite aggregating for me. I haven't had much time to develop the game, but I'm quite happy with the result. Thanks!
