The game should work on any canvas enabled browser on computers or mobile devices. (Even though it works on mobile devices, the game is not optimized for mobile. You may encounter lag while playing.)

The controls are listed on the game screen; you may click/touch a button or press the key corresponding to the key in the upper right corner of the on screen button. Here's a list of controls if it is hard to see in game:

1: Switch to Movement Left legs
2: Switch to Movement Right legs
3: Switch to Spring (Jump) legs
4: Switch to Power-Shot legs
5: Switch to Quiver legs

W: Use current leg power (only for Movement and Spring legs)
A: Rotate Bow CCW (Left)
D: Rotate Bow CW (Right)
F: Fire bow

If you encounter a bug, click a leg power button at the top in order to reset the current level.

I'm having a really hard time understanding the controls, but an interesting game none the less.

Hmmm, this was a very interesting concept! I really liked all the different arrow mechanics. Maybe this should have been you only get one type of arrow? Haha. I wish there were more levels, it stopped when i was really getting into it! Well done :)

The game is maybe a bit short, and the graphics a bit simple. But it's an interesting one :)

Nice idea. The controls are a bit clumsy (easily fixed though), and it'd help to explain the springy things in the actual level.

I really liked this one! Very good level design, and some parts made me chuckle.All this really needs is some more levels, music, sfx, better controls and you're gold!

This was a really innovative mechanic for a puzzle game.

I wish there'd been more levels, but the first few levels do a good job of teaching you the basics. The last level was just the right amount of challenge--it required me to test a few different approaches before I figured it out.

No sounds... It'as a pity! Controls are difficults, but generally the game is correct!

Really funny story I included it in my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to have a look :) http://youtu.be/fAaMjCotTMM

No audio, humour, controls were miserable/
