What is distinct here

Archer Duel is PlayFree’s small physics-based take on a familiar turn-by-turn archery challenge. A visible trajectory and wind indicator make the shot explainable, while drag distance controls launch power on mouse and touch.

Rules

  1. Drag from the arena toward your target and release to fire.
  2. Each hit removes 20 health and awards 100 points.
  3. Reduce the opponent to zero health before they do the same.

Strategy tips

  • Use the dotted trajectory.
  • Adjust slightly against the wind.
