Read full description

You emerge with great talent on a path full of villains. All you have to do is tap the screen to focus and spawn arrows between your hands. In order to hit the opponent with these arrows, you must either increase them by pressing on the opponent, or drag your finger on the opponent after duplicating them. If every opponent died with a single arrow, this adventure wouldn't be fun, would it? Don't let your opponents get too close to you while multiplying your arrows. Don't forget that you have to hit big opponents with a lot of arrows too. A report on the damage taken by the opponents will be given to you at the end of the chapter. We wish you pleasant and entertaining gameplay.
