A Distant Stabbing

A Distant Stabbing is a strategic platformer about climbing a tower to reach the man who owns it. You aim and shoot arrows to gain height, trying to reach your goal quickly while using as few shots as possible. If an arrow falls short, it can send you back down.

Climb the tower

Use careful aim and patience to make each arrow bounce or stick where you want it. The longer you charge a shot, the more likely the arrow is to bounce. When an arrow sticks, your nameless, voiceless hero teleports to its location, ready to shoot again.

The tower's story

As you climb, environmental details hint at something strange in the sleepy tower and a threat greater than the man at the top. The hero is an idle figure who needs to take out the tower's owner, though the reason is left open.

Track your attempts

A basic stat tracker records your runs, providing proof for achievements and letting you see how many times you beat the tower—or had “accidents”.
