Metarrow

What is it?

A sharpshooter Portal-like experience where you must strategically hit targets and solve puzzles

to escape the facility. Progress through the chambers by unlocking new arrow types and swapping between them in levels. 

Accuracy alone will only get you so far; activate your inner Hawkeye to get the perfect level complete rank!

Level one is called "Symmetry Sniper," guiding the game design and intuition of escaping the first test chamber.

Level two is "Exploding Jumps" 

Key Decision?

I focused on a single strong interaction mechanic: archery. 

Instead of introducing many tools, the design emphasizes mastering one mechanic and applying it in creative ways.

Story?

Subject Cheeto.

Congratulations. You have been specifically chosen to participate in a highly classified, completely safe, and legally ambiguous research initiative involving projectile-based problem solving.

Your objective is simple:

Shoot glowing targets.

Do not shoot non-glowing targets.

Do not ask why some targets are glowing.

If you experience dizziness, vertigo, existential dread, or a sudden awareness that this is all a simulation — please ignore it.

Welcome to the Apert—
