Cool take on the single bullet idea.

Was pretty darn fun, but I think you should consider making an updated version after the jam with a more zoomed out camera and maybe some tighter levels so that it is easier to see the enemies around you and calculate the paths your arrow will take. Lots of potential here.

Simple but fun! Would have been nice to kill the slimes in 1 hit and be able to restart faster. Loved the slow down effect but maybe it should only slow down the slimes or give you bonus damage. Maybe a smaller play area when you can easily line up multi kills would have been fun too

Beautiful designs, the character has a lot of personality thanks to the two eyes of different sizes but the idea is not very original even if it follows the theme.

The sequence of death is too long and the player's hitbox seemed to me to be too big, making me hit sometimes I thought I was safe.
However the intelligence of the enemies is good and the slowing down effect of time is a nice addition.

Congratulations.

Pretty interesting game, but I did find that if I shot the arrow in a certain way, it would bounce around the entire map and I'd need to run around to try and catch it. My strat ended up being to trying to shoot the arrow towards a wood wall so that I could retrieve it again.

Nice little game friend! Just wish it had a restart button so I could replay more easily! Nice art and music too!

I had my fun with it! I can agree that the reload slow could be a bit faster. Managed to get killed while that :D Nicely done!

really cool, I like how to have to catch the bolt bouncing around, makes you think a bit more before you shoot. I think the slow down time was a bit too much though, could be a bit shorter

What a fun little game! I liked the design of the characters and the level, and loved how I fell apart into a bunch of tiny pieces when I died. I agree with the other comment about having an indicator pointing to the arrow if it gets too far away though. But it was definitely fun chasing the arrow around trying to catch it! Is there a significance to the color changes of the arrow? Also, just a small nitpicky thing, but the preview image for your game has "CrossBow Head" in easy to read white with black bordered text, but in game it's just red and a tad difficult to read against the gray background.

It was really fun having the arrow stick in the wood walls and bounce off the stone ones and needing to chase after it, but I lost it at point as it bounced way off into the depths of the maze. An indicator pointing to it would be nice, and maybe have the arrow slow down just a little bit each time it bounces.

Good job!
