Apple Shooter: seventeen levels of nerve

Apple Shooter is a Flash game by Wolf Games, online since 2008, and its rules take one sentence. Your friend stands on the right with an apple on his head. You stand on the left with a bow. Set an angle, hold for power, let go. The arrow follows a real arc, so a shot that is too hard sails over him and a shot that is too soft drops short — or into him, which ends the game on a GAME OVER screen that reads YOU SHOT YOUR FRIEND!

Round 1 starts at 20 feet and each level steps your friend 5 feet further back; the title screen sets the goal at 100 feet over 17 levels. A miss just means YOU MISSED and another try at the same distance. There is no wind or luck in the flight: the arc is deterministic, and the game is really about learning how much a small change in hold time moves the landing point. This copy runs on Ruffle, the open-source Flash player, and is hosted on this domain, so it works in any modern browser without a plugin.

How to keep your friend alive

  1. Change one thing at a time: If a shot lands short, add hold time and keep the angle. Changing both at once teaches you nothing.
  2. Aim above the apple: Gravity pulls the arrow down harder the longer it flies, so far levels need a higher angle.
  3. Keep holds short: Hold time is the only power control, and power stops growing after about a second, so any longer hold is the same full-power shot. Fine range changes happen in short holds.

Key Features

  • The original Wolf Games build: Not a remake: the original SWF, running on Ruffle with the same arc and the same animations.
  • Increasing distance: Every level moves the target back, so the same skill gets tested at a new range.
  • Hosted on this site: The game and the Ruffle runtime are served from appleshooter.org, so play does not depend on an outside host. The built-in hi-score board and send-to-a-friend form used the developer’s old server and do not work here.
