About Probably Archery
Manipulate your wrists, elbows and shoulders to get the arrow to the bow, draw it, aim and fire!
Probably Archery gives the player more control over the minutia of their joint movements with tons of crazy scenarios to conquer, multiplayer battles to fight and brutal target challenges to dominate.
With controls inspired by games like QWOP and Surgeon Simulator 2013, you must overcome a series of ridiculous challenges like shooting a hangman's rope, exterminating flying eggs in a china shop and stopping an apple-headed warrior in space.
Once you've mastered the way of the bow, test your skills in the online multiplayer modes. Team Deathmatch allows you to test your speed and skill against other players while the Horde mode lets you stand alongside your friends against waves of enemies.
When it's time to lay down your bow, why not pick up a cricket bat and revolver? Shoot some zombies, bash other players and kick some goals in Zoccer - Zombie Soccer. An extra mode that is practically an additional game, Zoccer delivers a multiplayer first person sports shooter experience you've never seen before.

Unplayable. No matter what I tried I couldn't even get the arm in position to nock an arrow. Skill issue on my part I know but it made it very not fun.
https://youtu.be/P_2lN-H2OME Intentionally bad controls may be the entire point, but it's still bad controls that are less hilarious than need to pull off the goof.
ето просто ♥♥♥♥♥
If QWOP and Surgeon Simulator had an archery-themed baby, it would be Probably Archery — you're individually manipulating your shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints just to nock an arrow, and the first time you accidentally shoot yourself reaching for your quiver, you will laugh. The charm is real, and grinding through the learning curve does feel rewarding once you can reliably hit a moving target or cut a rope Robin Hood-style. But the novelty fades faster than it should: once you've figured out the mechanics, you can blast through all the minigames in under half an hour, and the Eggsterminator and Berserker modes — easily the highlights — are over before they really get going. Multiplayer could extend the life of the game, but good luck finding a match. Grab it at a steep discount if you want a goofy party curiosity, but at full price the quiver runs empty way too quickly.
I am sorry for not having enough hands
Awful. Putting extreme time pressure on BS challenges is an incredibly bad combo when the controls are this intentionally difficult. It'd be like doing surgeon simulator with 10 seconds on the clock. Terrible, just terrible. Most of the modes are complete trash, or the achievements for them are complete trash. Some of the challenges have a cutscene that plays every single time, that cannot be turned off, must be skipped over and over. Might seem small, but when you're trying an extremely BS challenge that only lasts about 10 seconds, every little thing just multiplies the aggravation. The zombie soccer mode has got to be one of the worst things I've ever seen. Also has multiplayer only achievements. Good luck finding someone who wants to do any of those. Would've been fun with better design for the different modes/achievements.
