Bows are kind of overpowered.

The bow is really good, like crazy good. You can kill every single enemy with it so far except the last one but you are still able to kite him just like everyone else. No one is able to catch up to you and there's no risk in just using the bow since you can dodge all incoming arrows with ease while you back peddal away from sword-bots that have no chance of catching up. I think that the movement speed when you back peddal should be reduced so that you have to turn your back to the enemy if you want to keep your distance OR the robots should have like a mini charge when they get close enough so that you are forced to switch weapons.At least those are my ideas.

I love hearing you say that, because a few people have said the exact opposite thing. :)
Did you find it super powerful right away or after upgrading it a bunch?

I like your idea about moving backwards being a bit slower. Next update will probably see some experimentation with sprinting for energy, so I might look into that as part of playing with the movement speed.

There will probably be more enemies that have some sort of shielding against arrows in the future. Spidertron 6000 won't go down in one shot for example!

Yeah right after I get the bow I find it extremely easy to just kite everything and win. Since the bots are never able to catch up or hit me. But I don't think that the bow needs changing, the bots are just way too easy to kite. Can't wait for the sprinting system you could make some great abilities to go with it

Also how soon can we expect the next update?

Aiming for about 1/month so sometime near the end of October.
