Fun little game. Controls are a bit floaty around edges, but having only one arrow creates some really intense situations.

No one can hurt you on the middle platform (on top of the door?)

@hazzen Right. It's your safe zone. You'll have to jump off of it and enter the horde of aliens though it you want to shoot again!

Very nice idea for this theme! Physics seem a bit odd though. Can fall off a platform then moving back towards it makes you go back on top of it when you shouldn't.

I really loved the concept idea. If more polished could be an awesome game. I would suggest you to create a higher notion of urgency to avoid player going just for the easy kills and force him to put himself in danger more times. By a urgency, I mean, something like the number of aliens that escape could bring failure, or you could create a score based on time, for instance.

The collisions between player and platform are a little bit awkward, but that doesn't make the game less fun. Nice job!

Its fun to see how high you can get.

There is a glitch where you can get your arrow trapped in the thing in the middle where you can't get it back, but its a minor bug.

Heh! We made a game based on the same idea and with the same name! (http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-28/?action=preview&uid=31847)

I liked yours too! :)

Nice game. Feels like super crate box with a very satisfying bow mechanic. Physics could use a little tweaking but it is a enjoyable game. Good job :)

Quite interesting, through it would be better with more levels. Remembers me of the original Mario Bros.

Gradual difficulty change would be nice.
