हिन्दी में मदद के लिए खेल में सेटिंग्स › भाषा › हिन्दी चुनें; हर वाक्य और हर नियम हिन्दी में भी है। खेलना: स्क्रीन छूकर पीछे खींचें, निशाने के लिए बग़ल में खिसकाएँ, छोड़ने के लिए उँगली उठाएँ। झंडे देखें और हवा की ओर थोड़ा निशाना रखें। सवाल हों तो नीचे दिए पते पर हिन्दी में लिखें।

How to play

Draw: touch anywhere in the lower part of the screen and pull back (down). The string comes back, the limbs bend, and a tick marks the full draw. A short draw is a weaker arrow that drops.

Aim: slide sideways to move the sight left and right. The sight is zeroed for the range, so at full draw in still air it hits where it points; it sways with your breath, so release at the still moment. The sight never aims up: a lower spot (a low balloon, say) is reached by drawing a little less.

Release: lift your finger. Slide back up above where you touched to let down without shooting.

Wind: read the flags and the grass, and aim a little into the wind. Steady hands (on for new players, in Settings) softens the sway, snaps the draw to full past 70 % and shows a wind dot on the face where a centred arrow would land right now.

Face: the button in the bottom corner looks at the target up close; tap again for the range. Replay in the other corner re-watches your last arrow from beside the lane, and every ten replays by itself (Settings › Replay every ten).

Scoring

The face has ten rings. An arrow in the middle scores 10 (an inner ten is marked X), each ring outwards one less, and an arrow off the face is a miss (M). A shaft touching a line takes the higher ring. Archers shoot ends of three arrows in turn; a round is 4, 6 or 10 ends and the highest total wins. A tie goes to a shoot-off: one arrow each, the higher score wins, the same score goes to the arrow closest to the centre.

Journey, challenges, daily shot, bows

Journey: five chapters (Clover Hill, Salt Marsh, Orchard Terrace, Lantern Field, the Harvest Festival) of six stages. Every stage has one goal (a score, beat a rival, tens, every arrow in the red, a challenge, a field of rivals) and pays up to three stars; a stage opens once the one before it has a star, and chapters open at 7, 16, 27 and 40 stars.

Challenges: one arrow, split the arrow (land next to a marker arrow), through a hanging ring, a storm, five balloons, a far target at 90 m and a boss that swings. Every challenge was cleared at three stars by the game itself with the same controls you have, so each one can be done.

Daily shot: three arrows on the day's range with the day's wind, the same for everyone in the world. Shoot as often as you like; your best counts, and playing on following days builds a streak.

Bows: five bows with their own arrows, earned by Journey stars, tens and beating Hana (Home › Bows says how). A faster bow flies flatter and drifts less in the wind; a heavier one tires your arms sooner; a lighter one is steadier but slower.

Online play

Quick match finds an archer on the same range and round length; if nobody turns up within about eight seconds a clearly marked computer archer steps in so a round can always start. Make a room gives you a six-letter code to share (or a link); your friend types it under "Room code". Friends: swap friend codes; once you have both added each other you see when the other is online and can invite them into a room. Names are made up by the game; the only messages are preset emotes.

Lost the connection? The game reconnects by itself. If you are away for more than about 25 seconds a computer archer holds your seat and the round goes on; come back (even after closing the app) and your seat is handed back with the round as it is.

Shot clock: online seats have 40 seconds an arrow; the last ten count down. When it runs out a sensible arrow is shot for you so a round never hangs.

Sound, vibration, accessibility

Settings has separate switches for background music, game sounds, the turn chime and vibration; Golden, Dawn and Dusk looks (or Auto); a graphics level (Auto / Smooth / Best; Auto steps down by itself when frames drop); follow-the-arrow and replay switches; reduced motion; a left-handed layout; and the language (English or Hindi). Scores always show their numbers as well as their colours.

Anonymous play statistics

The game sends anonymous play statistics to our own server (see the privacy policy). Settings › "Share anonymous play stats" switches them off.
