Really cool game and especially art style, it has umpf. I don't know how to load those balistas properly, sometimes i did, sometimes i did not.

Red arrows for the red ballista, blue for blue. Bit of a bad design on our part, people have been having issues with the mechanics ^^'

Developer

Thank you for playing :)

Great Music, Great Art, but the mechanics were kinda weird to figure out, and even when i did, i felt there was a massive difficulty spike near the beginning. Either that or I just suck, which I probably do. either way, good game!

Developer

I'm certain you don't suck, the mechanics are indeed a bit weird, and that difficulty spike is totally there :P

The art for this game is amazing, though i had some trouble figuring out the mechanics at first, but after i got them, it was fun. I do want to say, it feels very easy to get overwhelmed, mostly because the enemies often overlap, making it a lot harder to hit with the specific arrow, maybe have the wrong arrow pierce wrong enemies? Good Game! :D

Hey thanks a lot for playing, i'm glad you like it :)
Yes there were few things we had in our mind to be added before submitting , piercing  the opposite enemy is one of those, but there's not much we could do in two days haha.

Thanks for your comments! My friend here told me to let the arrows pass through, but due to lack of time, I forgot to implement that change. We're working on a post-jam build where we're aiming to address the very issues you just pointed out!
