A turn-based archery duel between wobbly ragdoll stickmen on rolling hills. Pull back to aim with a short trajectory preview, land body shots or big headshots, and survive endless waves of sharper rival archers — some with helmets, shields and crates for cover. Pick one of three upgrades after each wave, earn coins for hats, or duel a friend on one device.

How to play

Take turns shooting with your rival. Drag back anywhere on the field to aim — the dots show the start of the arrow's arc — and release to shoot. Arrows fall with gravity and stick where they land. Headshots deal more than double damage; limbs deal less. Helmets soak one headshot and shields block one arrow. Empty the enemy's health bar to clear the wave, then choose an upgrade: Double Arrow, Fire Arrow (burns for 2 turns), Heal, Heavier Bow or Shield. Enemies get tougher and more accurate every wave, with a boss every fifth wave. Coins from cleared waves buy hats in the Hat shop. 2 Players mode is a one-device duel.

Controls

Drag back and release to shoot (mouse or touch). Keyboard: Up/Down to change angle, Left/Right to change power, Space or Enter to shoot, Esc to pause.

Tips and strategy

  • Headshots deal 2.3 times normal damage and add 25 bonus points, while arm and leg hits deal only about 60 percent.
  • A helmet turns the first headshot into a weaker hit and falls off, so knock it off first and aim for the head again.
  • The dotted preview only shows the start of the arc, so remember arrows keep dropping with gravity over longer distances.
  • Fire Arrow burns the enemy for 2 turns after a hit, and each extra Fire level raises the burn damage.
  • Every fifth wave is a boss with 40 percent more health, so consider saving Heal or a Shield upgrade for those fights.

Clearing a wave pays coins, with more for later waves and 3 extra coins for every headshot you landed in that wave. Coins buy hats in the Hat shop.

Only partly. You recover 10 health when the next wave starts, and choosing the Heal upgrade restores 45 more.
