the concept is nice but gets annoying really fast...
Reviews for "One Arrow (Ludum Dare 28)"
First playthrough thoughts:
Huh, so I only have one arrow, and I have to retrieve it every time I fire. I do this while fighting increasing waves of bad guys. That's a neat concept! The first wave was only one guy, but the this next one will obviously have more, so I'll just retrieve the arrow I fired and I have now clipped through the wall and can do nothing. Shit.
Second playthrough thoughts:
Okay, maybe that was a fluke. I still think this is a neat concept, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. I wasn't far in anyways, so I'll just get back to where I was in no time and... my character's arms have doubled and I can't shoot anymore. Lovely.
Third playthrough thoughts:
I probably wouldn't care about how clunky some of these smaller animations are if it weren't for some of these glitches I've been getting. Whenever I draw the bow back, there's a flicker just before I can start aiming as it swaps sides then returns to normal. And these jump animations are really sudden and jerky. They're not deal-breakers, though, and I can look past them I guess- I'm on to wave 12 now, getting some good headway, and the time limit's an effective enough pressure I suppose even in lieu of a lifebar that while enemy hits don't mean as much as they could, I still have to be careful how many times I'm hit- and I've clipped through the walls again and can't do anything. You know what, I think I'll just let the timer run out instead of manually restarting this time, I want to see what happens.
...Nothing. Stuck here looking at the left side of the arena forever. No restart or title page.

As I've said before, this was a nice concept, but the fact of the matter is that this was a very premature release. Bugs I'm not even looking for make the game unplayable- and a game you can't play is barely worthy of the moniker.
i suppose its kind of fun... the fact that there wasn't any music was disappointing and made be a bit disinterested. You should try to remake it and spend more time on it than 72 hours. maybe add an upgrading mechanic next time?
This was a well made game TIRSO, but there was this one glitch where one of the animals on one of the waves disappeared and due to that i lost, but all in all this was a very enjoyable experience. Good job.
