The art is really clean and looks great! The music was weirdly cinematic for something like this, but I liked it.

If I had one point of creative criticism, most of the stuff was at the very bottom of the screen. It could have benefitted from turning the camera downwards just slightly, so that they're more towards the middle.

Congratulations on the game! I loved the graphics and the game fits the theme so well that I started doubting if my game fits the theme! I loved the fact that you can hit two enemies with one single arrow, it just feels very good to play. Well done!

i love the game graphic and style, you used the theme very well but polished but i love it, i have fun on it, i think if you add more mechanics and more levels and guns that's gonna be better, because i have played this kind of game many times, so i hope you understand me, for example add player hunt rabbit with guns but you have the ability to controls the player and move free ..., anyway good job continue.

The game is fun, the graphics are very nicely done, and the music fits perfectly within the graphics, good job!. Just a quick suggestion, I think, as the deers give more points, they should be rarer to see, getting into the final part, I have almost no need to move the camera because there is always a deer on screen.

Good game, i like the detail that the arrow can multikill because it penetrates bot animals

Very beautiful aesthetic, noticed you can skewer multiple animals with 1 shot. If it was intentional would be nice to have an indicator to encourage going for that.

The art is stunning; as a suggestion for improvement, I would add an indicator for when the bow is fully charged.

Ohh, very polished!

The parallax is really well done, just like the art and soundscape. All of this in this short amount of time is honestly insane, kudos. The animals look nice, the background does too, and the menu is clean as it should be. Nice!

If I would improve it's maybe adding a UI for the bow to see the progress of how it's drawn, maybe even a target sprite at the cursor position that remains when shooting, so you know where the arrow will land eventually. 

I was going to suggest a scoring system, but then I saw the screenshots and gave it a try again, and it seems the UI partly disappears on ultrawide. Not sure if that's a bug that is high-priority, but UI elements were also cut off a little. 

Overall, a very nice and polished entry with the funny premise that you're gonna go out demolishing an entire forest area just because you ran out of food for Easter :D
