If you like the "Xiao-Xiao" stick figure fighting games, you'll like today's game. It combines the cartoon violence of stick figures with the skill and strategy of a ballistics type game.

In Bow Man you use your archery skills in a duel to the death. You face off against a human or computer opponent and take turns trying to shoot each other. When you hit your target , blood spews, which is both sick and funny in a way. Also one lucky shot isn't going to win this game for you. you have to practically make a porcupine out of your opponent to make them die. On the other hand, you can take couple of hits before starting your own cupid act. (Dead guy with a bow and arrow, get it?)

There are a couple options in this game to make it both more difficult and more interesting. You can opt for a huge wall between you and your enemy which makes finding the right arc for your arrows more challenging. Also you can add wind to the mix and turn the numerical indicators on or off. It's also a lot of fun to play against your friends and coworkers in the human vs. human mode.

We like this game because it is a thinking persons version of a stick figure fighting game. And who ever said that thinking people don't like fighting and cartoon violence anyway?
