The physics worked and after I figured out I had to draw in the opposite direction to fire it all went nice.\r\rSadly I figured out that I could always finish the levels at the end if I spammed the arrows quickly enough making the sun crash in the expanding movement. Speed went better than precision.\r\rCool game, fun to learn and was fun to finish (even if it'd be cool with a few more levels)! :)"},{"author_name":"Neonable","author_uid":"112542","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 6:55am","epoch":1472539800,"text":"Excellent game!\rI have played similar games in the past and I must say that this one has exceeded my expectations. The execution is solid and the mechanic feels good. The visual style is fantastic as well. Overall, this is a well-rounded and well-balanced entry that is very enjoyable. I am looking forward to play the sequel!"},{"author_name":"randomhuman","author_uid":"56477","time":"Sep 1, 2016 @ 9:52pm","epoch":1472766420,"text":"Looks and sounds great, but it seems to be impossible to lose. A lot of the levels there's no challenge to at all. I can imagine it working quite well if there was a limited number of arrows, and maybe if you had to hit different things in sequence to win or something."},{"author_name":"HuvaaKoodia","author_uid":"21836","time":"Sep 5, 2016 @ 8:28am","epoch":1473063780,"text":"I'm just going to be regurgitating what other people have already said. In essence, due to lacking constraints there is little challenge: only spam, spam, spam...\r\rAlso if you intend to continue the project, the graphics could be scaled up and use thicker lines as, currently, they don't stand out. This is doubly true on mobile devices."},{"author_name":"Kirstine","author_uid":"86026","time":"Sep 5, 2016 @ 6:34pm","epoch":1473100140,"text":"Fun and cute game!

First of, the arrow physics was bad because it wasn't rotating and almost always was staying horizontal. Also level design wasn't interesting because there wasn't many option. You could only use brute force and spamming arrows on wall to finish level. Also unlimited arrows is boring mechanic because there is no challange in game at all."},{"author_name":"Steel Lynx","author_uid":"106283","time":"Sep 8, 2016 @ 6:10pm","epoch":1473357900,"text":"This is a really nice game. As mentioned above the levels are easy to clear by simply sending lots of arrows in the general direction. However! This is a game jam entry so balancing out the levels etc is difficult to get done in such a short time :)\rI hope you keep working on this as it's a nice take on this type of game."},{"author_name":"ajayajayaj","author_uid":"39470","time":"Sep 9, 2016 @ 1:45pm","epoch":1473428400,"text":"Awesome animations, some arrows o so fast they go through the blocks and the game seems really small, but other than that it is a really cool game!"},{"author_name":"Dining Philosopher","author_uid":"18490","time":"Sep 9, 2016 @ 4:09pm","epoch":1473437040,"text":"Nice game! The graphics are very nice and have a nice coherent style.\rIt was a bit unclear at first how to shoot the arrows, but once I understood, I had fun playing with the unlimited amount of arrows. I liked that the used arrows stayed during the levels. The levels were indeed a bit too easy because of this unlimited amount of arrows though. ;) \rOh, and I like the subtle background image of the web page. :) \rGreat work!"},{"author_name":"The Mad Strauss","author_uid":"55992","time":"Sep 12, 2016 @ 7:42pm","epoch":1473709020,"text":"If yo release the game to Android\/IOS with more levels, I will probably download it.
