Click to shoot, hold down to draw bow back farther.

Game works best in Google Chrome, due to a specific CSS property.
The game will still work in other browsers, but the UI will be blurry.
Strange things may happen if you resize the browser window while playing.
Enjoy!

Effective music and funny sound effects ;)
Nice Pixel Art on the main character.
It has a progress and I was defeated on wave 10.
Nice to have upgrade sistem but I felt it was kind of unnecessary. I could see the game progressing on aim and enemies sensitive points. But that's just me.
Bugs:
- During the introduction audio track you can shoot arrows
- Last wave showed some slowdowns ... maybe too many arrows on the floor (nice touch though)
- My arrows turn invisible at the same time... May be the problem
Fun entry and suited to the theme. Keep it up!
Played on firefox
As others have mentioned, the time you draw your bow should have more of an impact. When you quickly press and release, you still get a pretty good shot. I feel like instead you should've made the arrow just fall down when there's close to no loading time.
I also second the bug that you can just fire a bunch of arrows while the intro is playing, and they all get released as the game starts. Not a big issue though.
Overall I think you did a good job :)
I had the same bugs as SamuelSousa did but overall it was fun to play.
Well done.
As for the gameplay, I just spammed the bottom right corner with arrows. There needs to be some necessity to drawing the arrow. If the arrows were physicsy and dropped if they weren't shot hard enough, for instance.
Lots of good uses of sound and the game felt fairly complete. Good job.
nice motivational song
funny sound
simple controls,GG
and do you have any idea on better controls for my game.
