I wanna describe my experience step by step with this game because it was such a roller coaster to me:

So I first joined and first thing I saw was that the art is very highly contrasting and kinda inconsistent (sorry)

And then after I got to the bow i noticed something funky when i aim the bow up.
And when i held it straight up I fell inside the ground lmao..

Here's me reproducing the bug:



And I was like "aw, f.."
But then I actually used the bow and threw myself which was really funny lol

BUT then: The fricking game logo appeared, and this cool introductory music started

And this REALLY caught me off guard, like wow

This felt so cinematic for some reason, it felt like i was playing a AAA game and im being led by its environment so seamlessly (im not sarcastic). And then the boomerang, such cool ideas.

I got myself into a wall once, but at this point those bugs are something very minor. Even though my first impression of the game was a bug, the game itself flipped my opinion about ti with 180 degrees

I really really like this game :D

This concept is very funny and fit perfectly to the theme, I would have loved a few more levels to test others aspect of this great mechanic. great job !

When I see player flying instead of arrow. I died laughing. superb!! 

In the last level, at the first bow and arrow if I just shoot at the ceiling I could go through it.

Really fun idea and great execution! The intro was also super smooth, but it wasn't clear to me initially that you have to hit space to get back up after being shot.. 

Would love more levels and more weapons, but awesome work overall!

Fantastic! This is my favorite game of the jam so far. The controls are very smooth and it's enjoyable to play from start to finish. I really like being able to aim in midair and use different weapons for various types of movement. I'd love to see you expand this one after the jam so I can play more! :)

Already commented on the game page, but I think this is definitely a contender for the top 100 from what I've seen so far!
