Archery
Draw your bow, read the wind, and let arrows fly at a distant ring target. Gravity pulls every shot down and a fresh crosswind nudges it sideways, so each release is a fresh read. Land six arrows per round, chase the bullseye, then push into harder levels where the target shrinks, the wind howls, and the bullseye starts to drift.
About Archery
Archery is a physics-driven target-shooting game rendered entirely on an HTML5 canvas. You command a longbow on the left of the range and fire at a ten-ring scoring target on the right. Every arrow obeys gravity and a per-shot wind that pushes it off line, so good scores come from aiming high and into the wind rather than straight at the gold. A live trajectory preview helps you learn the arc, but the wind and a moving target at higher levels keep it honest. Score is the ring value where each arrow lands, ten for a dead-center bullseye down to one at the rim. Clear a round of six arrows to advance a level, where the target gets smaller, the wind gets stronger, and eventually the whole target sways. Your best round score is saved locally so you always have a number to beat.
How to play Archery
Aim and power are set the same way every shot. Drag backward from the bow to pull the string: the direction from your finger toward the bow sets the arrow's launch angle, and how far you pull sets the power. Release to loose the arrow. Watch the dotted blue trajectory line while you hold to judge the arc, and check the wind bar at the top, longer and red means a stronger push. Each round gives you six arrows; the ring you hit is added to your round score. When the six arrows are spent, the round ends and you can advance to a tougher level. Resetting starts a fresh run from level one.
Controls
Mouse or touch: press and drag back from the bow to aim and build power, then release to fire. The on-screen Hold-to-draw button also charges and releases a shot. Keyboard: Arrow keys (or WASD) raise and lower your aim, hold Space to charge power and release it to fire, N starts a new run, Enter advances after a round ends. Press M (or the speaker button) to mute. When a round is complete, tap the canvas or the Next level button to continue.
Tips & tricks
- Aim a touch above the bullseye, gravity always drops the arrow over the distance to the target.
- Hold into the wind: if the bar points right, aim left of center, and vice versa, by an amount that grows with the bar's length.
- More power means a flatter, faster arc that the wind has less time to bend, but it is harder to fine-tune, find the power you can read consistently.
- Use the dotted trajectory preview to dial in angle and power before you release; it accounts for the current wind.
- From level three the target sways, time your release for when it pauses at the top or bottom of its swing for an easier shot.
