Grab the bow and arrows, and show your aiming skills in this archery simulator. You get to aim and fire at the bullseyes, across many levels that span different locales in 3D graphics. The 3D environment is colorful and varied. The locales include scenic areas, such as country-field, desert, rivers, campfire, snow-land, and street alley. Special effects include rain, mist, wind, and snow. The game has a simple tap and touch-interface, which is specifically designed for mobile devices. Just tap to draw the bow, and drag to aim the arrow. When you are ready to fire, just release your finger. Aim carefully, and consider the environment, because it will affect where the arrows land. The game runs under a physics-engine which takes into account obstacles faced by real archers, such as wind and gravity. Some levels are set in unusual conditions, so the player should take that into account when aiming the trajectory of arrows. Rain and snow will make arrows land sooner. Wind can sway the direction of arrows. It is easy to get started with this game, but it's not easy to hit the center of the target. If you don't hit the target on the first try, don't give up. Be Robin Hood and hit those bulls-eyes! Bracer and archery gloves are not required in this game. We hope you have fun playing with the virtual bow and arrows. Replay to beat your best scores. Can you earn the all the stars in every levels? Summary of features: * 90 challenges in 9 different environments, spanning multiple locations such as snow and desert. * Easy to learn, with touch and drag interface specifically designed for mobile devices. * The game is driven by a physics-engine which takes into account gravity, wind and weather, such as rain and snow. * 3D graphics with cool special effects. See the camera following the arrow as it travels to its target.
