WOW! Man that's a good game! I love using a bow and arrow. At first I thought the floaty jumping was bad design, but the design isn't one of a platformer. You can jump and use the time in the air to aim and shoot, it's actually good.

I love how aiming works and the time it takes to shoot an arrow. And I don't know if you've intended this, but man the jump scares. They don't seem intentional, I just get super focused at aiming while walking around, checking if it's safe. Then a monster jumps out of the bushes I freak out and aim all over the place.

I love your game. I came back and put 10$ on it. Consider motivational money, I really hope you keep working on the game or make a different version of it.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I spent quite a bit of time tweaking with the player's mechanics, which is in my opinion THE most important part of a game.

They were intentional, not in a scary way though. The entire design of the characters work around hiding and ambushing.

Thanks for supporting! This project was really fun to do, and it seems others are interested. Definitely considering.

Hi! Just wondering if you're having thoughts about working on this game again, it'd be great if you did :D

No pressure, just a suggestion. I hope you're doing well by the way. I actually bought a real life bow and arrow recently with an archery target and I've been practicing in my bedroom (I can't train for precision so I'm instead practicing my loading and shooting speed)

To be honest if you don't plan on continuing it I may make my own (I say that, but I already have a million project ideas already)

Anyway, again I hope you're doing well. See ya!

I decided to make a playthrough video of the game! I was making videos today, so it's just a coincidence - I was in the mood. Here's the link:
