Pitch Bow Archer game guide
Goal of the game
In Pitch Bow Archer you play with the pitch of your voice (hum low or high). Your archer stands on the castle wall. HUM to draw the bow — a HIGHER note aims UP, a LOWER note aims DOWN (watch the dotted arc). STOP humming to SHOOT.
Pop the floating balloons for points and stop the orcs marching toward your wall — an orc that reaches you costs a life. Shoot through power-ups to grab them: Multi-Shot (3 arrows), Slow-Mo, Double, Freeze and Bomb. Tune the 🎚️ sensitivity slider for your room.
