Bullseye Archery
Bullseye Archery is all about one decision: when to let go. Your bow rides up and down the left edge of the screen on its own, and a slim target board stands on the right. Every arrow flies dead level, so the height of the bow at the moment you release is the whole shot.
It needs just a click, a tap or any key, so it works on a laptop, a tablet or a phone. Adnan Zawad Toky wrote the original, and the bow, arrows and board are all drawn in code.
How to play Bullseye Archery
A round gives you ten arrows, counted in the top-left corner. Release one and it travels straight across the field. The middle of the board pays 8 points, and the value shrinks step by step toward either end, down to 0 at the tips. An arrow that misses the board is lost.
Strong shots refill your supply. Any hit worth 7 or more puts two arrows back in the quiver and sets off fireworks, so a careful archer can keep a round going for a long time.
The challenge grows as you shoot. Early on, the board shifts after each hit to center itself on your last arrow. From the fourth arrow the bow moves faster, and from the eighth the board starts drifting up and down by itself. A bar along the bottom drains while you wait, and the arrow fires on its own after about five seconds.

Tips
- While the board is still gliding toward your previous hit, fire at that same height again. The center of the board is moving to meet that spot.
- Watch the bow make one full trip before your first shot. It turns around at the top and bottom edges at a steady pace, which makes its timing easy to learn.
- Treat 7 and 8 point hits as your real goal. Each one leaves you an arrow ahead, while lower scores slowly drain the quiver.
- Shoot before the bar at the bottom runs low. A forced release fires wherever the bow happens to be and often misses the board completely.
- Once the board moves on its own, release a little early. It keeps drifting while the arrow is in flight, so aim where the blue middle is heading.
