Nice work! The rounds were quick enough it kept that itch to just keep trying one more time. I wish it was just a little easier to judge where the dart was going to land, maybe some sort of sound queue as you're pulling it back somehow? I did start to get the hang of it the more I played, though. Good work!

Fun game I wish there was a way to hit higher on the board!

Developer

Hold the space bar down longer and it will go higher!

addicting game! like how easy you made it to restart when you lose. i could definitely see this becoming a mobile game i whipped out while waiting on stuff. i agree with some other comments that it would be nice to have a trajectory or something to better tell where the dart is going to go.

Developer

Thanks! This game is on the list to receive the mobile treatment once I learn how!

Great little entry, simple to the point-- it has the theme right in the gameplay. The scope was tight.
The controls despite being very simple to understand, did not allow for much control over the dart. If your computer is a little laggy like mine, the dart seemed to go higher when thrown, then stick to the bottom of the board. But overall, I think this was an honest submission for only have such a short time frame. Cheers!

i don't know how I'm supposed to play this, the dart does not go where i make it go, and it teleports to the wrong thing, am i doing something wrong?

Developer

I have updated the how-to-play on the page.

The longer you hold space before releasing, the higher it will go, the shorter time you pull back, the lower it will go. It takes one second to pull back all the way, this will land near the top of the board. If you tap space it will land near the bottom.

Very cool game! i really like the music, i was a but confused though because its kinda hard to tell where the dart is going to go a faint trajectory or something would be nice, very fun though!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I left a marker out on purpose so that it becomes more of a play by feel. I have updated the how-to-play on the page.

congrats on making your first game! loved the vibes of it, i think everything from the music and the art really fit well together to convey the convey the seriousness of your submission. i thoroughly enjoyed going through the game just to see what the next level's theming was gonna be, was pleasantly surprised by each one!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Very interesting concept I like how it was darts but the targets would disappear! It wasn't clear to me that you could hold space for different time durations to throw it at different ranges. The visuals were ok but again I wish it had more juice for example it would be cool if the targets would explode into confetti when they were hit. I thought it was cool how you had a picture of Shrek behind the targets.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I have updated the page to explain the rules :) I also fixed a bug where the dart particle effect wasn't working.
