## What is Yumikami_JapaneseArchery?

This app is an archery target game that simulates Kyudo.
 It is designed for everyone to enjoy, where you can aim at the target by touching and swiping the screen, and shoot arrows by releasing your finger. The game is simple: if you score 80 points (or 70 points for 2nd Dan and above) at the promotion exam venue, you will advance to the next stage, ultimately reaching the title of "God of bow".

Please note that while this app simulates Japanese Archery(Kyudo), it follows its own set of rules for entertainment purposes and not the actual rules of Japanese Archery(Kyudo). Thank you for your understanding.

1 Start as a "visitor" and progress through 23 stages to reach the highest rank of "God of bow".
2 Depending on the stage, various elements change:
 * Targets can be "close-range", "long-range", "fixed", or "moving".
 * There are 5 types of bows with different strengths.
 * You have 10 arrows available.
3 Your accuracy in hitting the target changes based on your experience and stamina.
4 Clearing 80 points (70 points for 2nd Dan and above) in the promotion exam for each stage allows you to advance. If you fail the promotion exam a certain number of times per stage, you will be demoted by one stage.
5 As you progress, targets may move, the distance to the target may increase, and the wind may blow stronger.
6 In the shop, you can purchase stronger bows with the coins you earn. Using the right bow for the stage conditions might be necessary to achieve high scores.
7 However, having a strong bow does not guarantee high scores, as stronger bows are more challenging to control, requiring sufficient practice.
8 You can enjoy the battle game in three ways.
 * Play against AI
 * Play against a friend by taking turns shooting on one device
 * Play against a friend nearby by connecting via Bluetooth
9 With the competitive feature, you can enjoy 1-on-1 matches with friends or solo matches against AI.

Aim to become the "God of bow" and enjoy shooting arrows.
