About Archery on Suvi
This page opens straight into an archery match against the computer. Easy hits the target, mostly, and forgets the wind half the time; Medium shoots like a steady club archer; Hard reads the wind and goes for the X. Hold your finger on the target, steer the aiming mark (it drifts like a hand at full draw), and let go to shoot. Watch the flag: the wind carries every arrow, so aim upwind. A hint shows where to aim for this end's wind, your record at each level is kept on this device, and a match left half-way is waiting when you come back.
How to play
- Press and hold on the target: an aiming mark appears just above your finger.
- Check the wind (the flag, the arrow and the speed) and steer the mark upwind of the gold. It drifts like a real hand, and more the longer you hold.
- Let go to shoot. The wind carries the arrow on its way, and its score pops up where it lands.
- Three arrows an end, then the other player shoots. After five ends the higher total wins; a tie is a one-arrow shoot-off.
Controls
On a phone or tablet: Hold your finger on the target, steer the mark (it sits just above your finger), let go to shoot.
On a desktop: Move the mouse to aim and click to shoot, or use the arrow keys to aim and Space to shoot. H asks for a hint.
Tips
- Aim into the wind: if the flag streams to the right, aim left of the gold.
- A strong wind (5 or 6 m/s) moves an arrow nearly two rings; a light one hardly at all.
- Watch where your first arrow of an end lands, then correct the next two: the wind stays the same for the whole end.
- Don't hold too long: aim, let your hand settle for a moment, then let go.
Questions
- How is it scored?
- Each ring is worth from 10 in the middle to 1 on the outside edge, and missing the face scores nothing. The small X ring in the center counts 10. Five ends of three arrows make a best possible score of 150.
- What happens if it's a tie?
- A shoot-off: one arrow each, and the one closer to the center wins. An X beats a 10. If both are exactly as close, the match is a draw.
- How does the wind work?
- Each end has its own wind, the same for both players. It pushes every arrow mostly sideways, a little up or down, by up to about two rings in a strong wind. The flag leans with it and the arrow and speed tell you exactly which way and how hard.
- How good is the computer?
- Easy hits the target most of the time but often forgets the wind; Medium shoots like a steady club archer; Hard reads the wind well and scores mostly 10s and 9s. All three miss like people do, so every match is different.
- Can I play a friend?
- Yes. Two players can share one phone and take turns, or choose With a friend and send a link: you each shoot on your own phone and see the other's arrows land.
- Is it free?
- Yes, every game, with no account and nothing to download.
