Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
It get very hard after few levels, developer want the payer to shoot at impossible locations we are sure they dont have the time to play and test the levels themselves. The given time to shoot arrows is very short for each level. Wasted our time playing this game.
Is peace of crap no u buy is bad like cow dungeons.
We like it but u should add a prize box so u can win different colors or patterns of arrows and bows u should be able to have a different pattern or color on your arrow then on your bow! On the game.
We love the game premise but can barely even see it thru the ads on the screen. We mean come on at least let us play each level before you throw in the ad.
The game itself is pretty decent. But it's hard to play with all the ads and pop ups that blocks parts of the game during actual play.
There's a good game in here somewhere, but it's steamrolled and buried by an egregious bombardment of advertising. This not just a banner ad. This is multiple blinking, bouncing banners, pop-up ads, full-screen takeover ads, etc. And this is during actual levels. And, yes, it interferes with gameplay. We hate to toss the good with the bad, but this is nearly unplayable.
Good game but we're watching more ads than actually playing the game.
Ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…ads…and more ads.
This game used to be playable and fun, now full of ads. It is almost impossible to play without accidentally pressing the ada between levels…so sorry and feeling sad but this one gotta go.
We forgot how much fun this game was. That being said, The ads make us not want to play it.
This game is really fun we love it we think you should get it!! :).
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this game we love it.
Great time killer!! It's like fragger. Lot of fun.
Son likes it. A little sick for our taste.
So fun and awesome we recommend you guys play this.
We almost forgot how much fun this was, with the exception of the time wasting ads every 2 seconds. Annoying!!! 4 stars for game but -1 star for the annoying ads.
The game is fun but it shows all of these brands that dont le us see.
Fun game, be better without ads getting in the way where you need to shoot.
Great game but ads keep getting in the way.
Fun game! But every time you go to shoot the people at the top the adds block the screen.
We realize that the way most apps make money is to allow ads but this game is a little too much. Ads pop up right where you have to shoot and at the most inopportune time.
The bad thing in the game (ads).
The ads cover the top so you can't see how many arrows you have.
……LOTS and LOTS of advertising, then grab this one up pronto and your heart's desire will be abundantly rewarded! There are ads before, after, and during every level!!! The ads during the levels actually obstruct the view of the scoring area and the number of arrows available or remaining, essentially leaving you in the dark. NOT very nice, if you ask us. NOT very nice even if you DON'T ask us. LOL And furthermore, if the goal is to sever the rope and let the guy down before the breath runs out of him, then why doesn't he get up and walk away after the rope is successfully cut? But no, instead, we get to hear the guy's dying groan as he falls to the ground with his legs and head and body all twisted and bent up? YUK!!! :( :( :(.
Loved it on computer and glad it's here :).
The game is fun but the ads are out of control. After every level a screen appears that takes seconds to load and then slows down the whole game. And then a banner that blocks half the buttons is on every single level.
This game is fun and entertaining. Great time waster.
We commute a lot, so we're always looking for a quick and fun game that we can play while on the train. Great work.
Kinda hard, but in a good challenging way.
A violent and morbid game yet highly entertaining. We like the physics aspect of this game. The graphics needs improvement, but other than that, a very addicting game.
The concept is cool although its a little morbid for our tastes. We don't have very good coordination and we found it really difficult to get the shots lined up. For us this isn't an app worth paying for though as a free App it would be great. Still we give a high rating because we think people with better coordination or with a bigger screen like the iPads would probably enjoy the challenge. Little morbid but still a nice app overall.
Although the graphic is not so good, the content and gameplay are worth trying.
Not too bad for a tiny physic game, but it is pretty much based on luck and keep trying instead of skills, there are plenty of stuff to unlocks which are pretty good to go with.
It's fun but not easy to play on the iPhone 5. If you go into the black zone it shoots the arrow.
This game isn't too bad. The controls respond well and it's a basic puzzle/shooting game (except with a bow and arrow). It starts off vibrating with every touch but you can turn that off in settings.
This game has you using a bow, with a limited number of arrows per level, to shoot out various items and ropes on hanging men before they choke. Shooting all the ropes before the men suffocate and before you run out of arrows gets you past the level. Doing this in a timely manner and hitting other items gets you 3 stars per level. Mini games are also included every few levels. Graphics in this game are alright, but nothing amazing. We found the difficulty increases rapidly during game play. They make up for this, however, by letting you easily adjust the difficulty in-game. The controls could be better, so are slightly tricky to catch on to. Vibration seems also to be turned on by default, but this irritating feature can be turned off in settings. Overall, the game is just ok, but could be made better by including upgrades to purchase in-game via earned points. Things like upgraded, special, or extra arrows per level.
Not crazy about this game. Though we did get past level 2. ( you can start your draw anywhere on the screen). It was just a little more gory than we wanted to show our kids. But if you are looking for a more graphic version of angry birds this is pretty good.
Fun little game but if you have to draw the bow and hit the "black" part of your phone, it will release the arrow before you are ready. This makes it almost impossible to play and gets rather frustrating.
Can't even complete the 2nd level coz the bow is placed to the corner of the screen.
Can't even complete second level because placement if bow doesn't allow you to draw back far enough. Did they even run test plays on it before release.
The original flash version was so fun and addictive but this app has such terrible controls and few bugs:(.
The vibration that this app makes even with the sound on drives us nuts when we're trying to play. It's so obnoxious that we could only play for a couple of minutes and that was too much. This should be something that we can turn off from the app but we don't see a setting. We really don't want to have to adjust our phone settings every time we want to play this app.
We love it so much fun but add more lvls.
