aw come on, the guy probably put a lot of work into that, and he has ads on the page. He deserves the money.
He didn't even smother the page in ads surrounding every side of a tiny flash window or anything.
I'm just glad that this digg leads to his site and not some ***** that just steals other people's games.

- tygut1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I have wasted many hours on Bowmaster, this one is just as fun. There goes my afternoon.
- crawfishsoul, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Damn you Bowmaster! It's lunch time and I've just pissed away an entire morning.
Summoning the Trebuchet.

- SpamDog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5About time!
This guy has a great collection of his own games! - Netmindstorm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Cool, now I can only hope that if there are "support" archers that they are now smart enough to not set me or my own village on fire...
- Genesee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6lol. and hopefully there's no enemies that pop up out of the ground right on top of the respawn flag.....
the original was great though, going to try this out later.
warning: don't get into this game if you have work to do today
- Genesee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6lol. and hopefully there's no enemies that pop up out of the ground right on top of the respawn flag.....
- Iknockstuffdown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I love bowmaster! I can't wait to get home to try this one!
- anagoge, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Get back to work Jason, what have I told you about browsing Digg here!
- elitexero, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3How the hell do you shoot the arrows?
- skrowl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Great game series, highly recommended!
- elitexero, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2There's a big bug, on some loads, it wont actually shoot arrows.. :/
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You just pressed the one arrow so you had no weapon selected. I did it, too.
- m00kie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2dude, you have to click your mouse inside of the green circle of hate.
- elitexero, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I did, I was doing the drag method, when I released, nothing shot, I reloaded the fullscreen one and then it worked.
- isntsean, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3this happened to me as well. The problem is that it starts on an action bar without the arrow icon on it. push the up and down arrows next to all the empty buttons till you get the action bar with the arrow icon in the 1 slot. click on that. enjoy!
- Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Great stuff....Bowmaster was easily the best game on the web, and this is a great improvement. Can't wait to see Bowmaster 2
- Lord_oftheTrons, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've been waiting for this one for a while. Looks like he made plenty of improvements.
- glucoseboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hope the catapults have improved. I found they hurt more than they helped in the original.
Thanks! - Elfman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2See now, THIS game is addicting (as opposed to 90% of the supposedly addicting games that get submitted on digg).
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And it's STILL addictive.
- Daunting, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I find this one significantly more difficult. Pretty dang awesome.
- icenineiv, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I somehow just lost an hour of my life on that. Very good.
- nowanything, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11The intro needs to be longer, I only had time to step out for awhile to get a home loan.
- nowanything, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2So I finish up the home loan and play the game. On level two, in the middle of everything, the game stops sending out "enemies." So there's my archers, firing impotently into the castle wall. There are two enemy archers left behind the castle, where you can't fire. Okay, I send out my "hero" and take them down. Still no more enemies. I don't have any troops to capture the flag; I can re-start the level by letting my hero die. So there I am, catching arrows with my face for a few interminable minutes, finally, the level re-starts. This time, I get almost to the end of it and the same thing happens. No more enemies. Lesson learned.
C- NEEDS IMPROVEMENT- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Actually, that's how it's meant to be, you just suck.
The reason it stopped sending enemies is because there were no more left. You killed everybody except those two archers, and you would've won once you killed them
If you had just went away from their castle, they would've come out from their hiding, and you could've killed them, alternately, you could've shot under the gate of the castle to kill them. You even could've destroyed their castle and THEN killed the archers. Instead, you chose to stand there and die. - lostvector, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Thank you all for the feedback. It's fun to see people like my game but even the criticism is important, so thanks for taking the time to explain problem. I notice that in early levels it's difficult to destroy the castle so if enemy archers go inside it's hard to finish the level. Right now the best way to get around this is to no summon enemies that prompt enemy archers to sit back in their castle. They will always push forward, so if the front line is closer to your base the archers will be forced to exit their castle. The archer is more of a support unit (which cannot pick up the flag by the way) so if your rushing the castle make sure you have a unit that can pick up their flag. Hope this helps. Take Care, -Jason
- dainbramaged78, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0aaah I clicked thumbs down when I was supposed to click thumbs up.
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Actually, that's how it's meant to be, you just suck.
- toasty168, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2wow, can't believe how addictive this is. especially considering the funny sound effects he makes with his mouth. i love it.
- chibigoku, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3My only deal with this game, is that it takes sooooooooo long to finish a round. Am I missing something? im talking 15 minutes. And you dont get much money. So I end up surfing the net, just listening to it, so I know when to switch back and kill some guys, then wait for the next wave of dudes....
- dfnk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You summon men (mounted guys for me, usually; they're the fastest) and try and steal the enemy flag. Once they bring it back you win.
- masterjepo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0notice, if you go to upcoming stories, there are at least 5 of the same version of bowmaster on different sites.
- zeiben, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Guy needs to hire a narrator
- lotuseater, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The end boss rocks.
Best flash game I've ever played. - OrlyonokEaglet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2A good improvement. But now the game can play itself, archers and catapults do more damage than the castle. And aiming is different, a little harder than in the other bowmaster.
- lotuseater, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Once you turn off automatic troops it starts to almost become a side-scrolling RTS. I think a game like this, but without the bow and more options for tactics would be a ton of fun.
- Nigh7mar3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ehi! how many levels???
- redington, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I remembered in the first one you could select "all arrows" or something and fire them all simultaneously. Is this gone now?
Can't play at work ... thank god ... I'd never get anything done. - luckett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Level 17 killed me. Anybody get any further?
- 35mm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+118 and still going...
- 35mm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+330 and finished. Great game. Can't wait until BowMaster 2.
- GrahamStw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yep, finished it last night. Good game.
Leave Jason some feedback on his forum so he can improve it and iron out bugs before BowMaster 2.
I did: http://www.lostvectors.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=378
- GrahamStw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yep, finished it last night. Good game.
- asmorth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0loved the first part
and here goes my todays work down the drain - serval, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So you can actually beat this game, I thought it would just continue, huh. My score was 43542, anyone else get a final score?
Tip for those entering the final levels: there is a HUGE enemy (like the largest types from the first version of this game). You can only hit him when he is about to strike (while he raises his ax) and after he strikes (he takes his helmet off). You can attack with fire and ice (though I think the ice only slows him). He takes tons of damage (800-950) from each shot but he has a ton of hit points ... focus on killing him then getting the catepults that he's been protecting before they destroy your castle. There are two or three levels with this huge guy I think. Then there's a plug for "Bowmaster 2, coming soon".
The best upgrade is Ice wave, necessary, but it decreases the Xp you get from shooting enemies (while they're frozen). The comet thing is fun too.
Anyone else finish the game yet? - TMZ41486, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can't figure out how to make money in this game, i only make 100 gold per level. What am i doing wrong?
- mydave, on 07/31/2008, -0/+0great game.
