Arrow Heads is a fast paced multiplayer archery game, played from an isometric perspective. The game pits you against your avian counterparts in a heated deathmatch scenario. Should you find yourself against superior birds we have included five power ups that should help give your opponents the kick-in-the-pants they deserve. Join your friends on this zany 2-4 player adventure, where the chaotic moments wait around the corner. Whether you are slinging arrows or bear traps, the game will leave you wanting to come back for more!

** We are currently in active development, so please be aware that things will change :) **

When we first started brainstorming ideas for the project we used goals to help drive our ideation, these goals were:

 

1) Show the game at the Level Up Student Showcase 2016, a local video game competition organized by the universities and colleges in the Toronto area

2) Create a game ideal for the scenario of friends playing video games on a couch

 

Once we settled on an idea for the core mechanic of the game, isometric archery, these goals then helped us direct our design decisions for the rest of the game.  The key points that came from our goals were:

 

- Accessibility, people who had never played a game before needed to be able to pick up the game quickly

- Friendly competition, we envisions buddies on a couch nudging each other as they best one another

- Spectacle, we want players and spectators to be 'ooing' and 'ahhing' as people play the game
- Short and fun playsessions, the game needs to enjoyable in short bits on a show floor or long stretches on a couch with friends for 20+ mintues

 

Because we wanted to show the game at the Level Up Student Showcase 2016, we also had a deadline - April 6th, 2016.

 

We are very proud to say that we hit the deadline of April 6th and had an amazing vertical slice of our game to show.  So much so that we won Best Overall Game and the Artistic Achievement award at the Level Up Student Showcase 2016!

 

Following the success of Arrow Heads at the Level Up Student Showcase and the other conventions we've shown it at - EGLX, OCE Discovery, Anime North - we're now in full development and working towards a commercial release of Arrow Heads!
