Nice game. I did think you could lean into a Cupid+arrows+hearts kind of thing. It's a simple but fun game. I think power ups and perhaps less fast arrows earlier on could improve the game a bit :)

Fun little game. Nice entry!

Neat - Love the idea of love arrows - clever

Very fun and simple game,

I'd have rather the collision work on the entire arrow than just the tip but it still works most of the time.

Good job!

Yeah I thought of the idea that being able to hit the arrow from the side as well could be nice, but it would create a new problem where you could just quickly spin to block all arrows, which I wouldn't know how to deal with xP

fun game. I think there are two things which could have been improved 1. The collision seems to only occur at the tip of the arrow so its frustrating when two arrows  appear at the same time with the same speed as the collision doesn't occur when the arrow is between the arc used to block if that makes sense.

Also just a little bit of screenshake and louder audio would really sell the impact making it more fun.

but hey we only had 3 hours so great job for finishing on time !

I was afraid that allowing the player to hit the arrow anywhere would just lead players to spin in circles to easily block all arrows, which I didn't know how to solve. Ah I hadn't thought of screenshake! I was not sure how I could improve what I had at the end but that's a great suggestion! Thanks for the feedback :)

Simplistic, yet fun. Art and sound design are great too. Good job!
