About Archery Duel
Archery Duel is a head-to-head bow-and-arrow contest set in the 13th century. You and a bot archer face each other across the field, and a new formation of targets appears between you every round: crosses, rings, diamonds and squares, some standing still, some spinning, and on the hardest level rows that slide from side to side.
Each archer gets three arrows per round, and a single well-placed shot can pierce several targets in a row, so aiming along a line pays off. The first to reach 70 hits wins the match. Three difficulty levels change how quickly the bot takes aim, and a tally of your wins and the bot's is kept between sessions.

How to play
Pick Easy, Medium or Hard, then drag back from your bow and release to shoot in the opposite direction, like a slingshot. You have three arrows per round, and a new set of targets appears when all targets are down or both archers are out of arrows. Every target you hit scores a point, and the first archer to reach 70 points wins.

Tips
- Line up shots through several targets at once, because one arrow keeps flying and can score multiple hits.
- Spend your three arrows quickly, since the bot is racing you for the same targets.
- On spinning formations, aim at the part of the ring that is about to move into your arrow's path.
- Start on Easy to learn the slingshot aiming before facing the lightning-fast Hard bot.
