The application is available on the Play Store for free, but is listed as unreleased, so updates and enhancements can be expected. The game will be available on other stores, including the Apple App Store soon. The game is a side-scrolling platformer. It is a casual, one touch title, but that does not mean that it is easy. There is only one window of opportunity to aim the arrow right, and if you do not, you die.[caption id="attachment_359236" align="aligncenter" width="640"] A fox is one of the playable characters[/caption]The enemies appear on platforms of different heights, and will throw a spear or other weapon at you instantly if you do not shoot them first. The mechanic works in such a way that you can either kill or be killed, there is no middle ground. If a streak ends, you can pay hard earned coin to continue, or watch a video. There is an ad shown at the end of every game, which can be removed for a one time fee of Rs 65. The coins can be used to buy and unlock characters, which include Robin Hood, a fox (which is probably Disney's version of Robin Hood), Mitch, and David.
