Defend your family against an onslaught of angry wolves by shooting arrows at the balloons they use to either drop down or float up the screen.
 
Good Bad
  • Cute characters
  • Special arrows add some variety
  • Uneven difficulty curve
  • Doing badly makes it harder to progress
  • Chaotic with too much going on
  • Frustrating gameplay
  • Very repetitive

3 The worse you do, the harder it gets which is horrible game design. Too much chaos. Not completely unplayable but not something that I would recommend to anyone even with the cute visuals.
