Gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players enjoying the colorful design and innovative archery mechanics that allow for unique tasks, while others criticize the brevity of the mini-games and lack of options for more engaging gameplay modes like timed challenges or sandbox experiences. The controls and physics are praised, making the archery feel satisfying, but the overall experience leans towards casual and party game appeal, with competitive elements like leaderboards for those seeking a challenge.
“The physics and controls are perfect, the design is colorful and fun, as is the gameplay, offering a never-before-seen take on archery, with levels in which you can use your bow and arrow to do everyday tasks such as making a pizza and delivering papers.”
“Although it appears to be more of a game for casual gamers or those looking for a party game, it also offers competitive-style gameplay to players with leaderboards, and levels such as the 'paperboy' level fall on the more challenging side of the VR archery games available.”
“The bow mechanics feel very good.”
“I don't like the mechanics, any of the mini-games, the visual style.”
“The mini-games are over too quickly; it should have an option for goal/timed gameplay and sandbox (mess around) gameplay.”
“There are about 5 mini-games, each featuring simple gameplay objectives.”
