To the developers: I feel the boss' damage output should be nerfed, especially if you actually want players to have fun without needing a god run to beat stage 1-1.
Thank you so much for playing Archer Arena! We’re confident that the game becomes even more fun as you clear stages, level up, strengthen your character, and take on higher stages. That said, we also feel that some of the early bosses may be dealing a bit too much damage, so we’re currently reviewing their balance. We’ll be back with another update soon. Thank you!

The game is very, very easy in single-player mode. It gets even easier once you realize there’s a bug with the trees (they approach you in a circular path, which gives you time). I position my character just above the tree in the bottom-right corner; I keep Ice Spear selected for the first 6–7 levels, then switch to Breaker Bow. You don’t need to move until the final boss. Since the final boss jumps on top of you, it needs to step back a bit.
Thank you so much for playing Archer Arena, and thank you for the detailed feedback! As you mentioned, we have confirmed that some monster behavior becomes unintentionally weak when interacting with obstacles, especially around pathfinding and obstacle avoidance. We are currently working on adjustments for this. We also agree that staying in the corner of the map is not the intended gameplay experience. To improve this, we are working on reshaping the map corners into a smoother, more circular layout so that this kind of strategy becomes less effective. We’ll address these issues in an upcoming update and come back with improvements soon. Thank you!

Just curious, but how big is your dev team? This is a great game, even with the bugs (that are fixed now, thanks!) that were present.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words. Archer Arena is currently being developed as a side project by a very small company, mainly by one developer. Because of that, some updates may take a little time, but we’re actively working on improving the game step by step. I’m really glad you’re enjoying it, and thank you again for playing!

I tried both the ice spear and the sword, got to the final boss and died in 1 pounce. Breaker bow gets INSANE. I' talking about survival, not online play. I am kind of regretting picking divine shield over movement speed, but you take what you can get, and breaker bow is my first victory after 2 losses. Try it for yourself and see!

Game to big for the screen
Thank you so much for playing Archer Arena! We’re sorry for the inconvenience. The game may have felt too large for the screen because our Kongregate settings were set to FHD resolution. With this update, we have adjusted the game so it can now be played at 1600 × 900 resolution. Thank you!
