A downloadable playtest

ArrowSoft Battles is a fast, first-person combat-archery arena. Draw, aim, and loose foam-tipped arrows across a sealed neon cyberpunk stadium — every clean hit is a one-shot knockout that sends your target flying in a full ragdoll. Catch arrows out of the air, melee with your bow, wall-run the walls, and slip into bullet-time when a shot is screaming toward you.

GAME MODES - Versus 3v3 — you + 2 AI teammates vs a friend + 2 AI teammates. Built for two players online. - Deathmatch — classic team knockout brawl. - Take Out the Carrier — grab the golden arrow and survive; longest hold wins. - Capture the Arrow — run the golden arrow back to your base. - Practice Range — pop-out targets, no pressure, dial in your aim.

Install instructions

Windows PC only (for now). 1. Download ArrowSoftBattles-itch.zip. 2. Right-click it → Extract All → pick a folder (keep everything together — don't run it from inside the zip). 3. Open the extracted folder and double-click ArrowSoftBattles.exe. 4. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC," click "More info" → "Run anyway." (This just means the app isn't code-signed yet — normal for an indie playtest build.) No installer needed — it runs straight from the folder. PLAY WITH A FRIEND (online): Both players install the free app Tailscale (tailscale.com), then the host runs ASB-Host.bat and the friend runs ASB-Join.bat. Full steps are in READ-ME-FIRST.txt inside the download. Requirements: Windows 10/11 (64-bit). A dedicated graphics card is recommended.
