    In this winter adventure, you discover your fellow villagers dismembered and being consumed by seemingly cute bunnies. What does a benevolent warrior do? Sets their spirits free of course. The animals that once lived peacefully alongside humankind are now on the attack - dark magic is at work here. Upgrade your hero as you progress through 10 levels until you reach "The Last Stand".

    lol I actually like this game! Reminds me of my Norn on Guild Wars 2 slaying critters in the starting zone. I'm uploading a gameplay video. :)

    Downloading now. Gameplay seems reminiscent of Oasis and I like the art style. Impressions soon

    Really enjoying this game. Unlike other runners where the focus is on speed and evasion, here it's about timing and prioritizing your enemies. You can get some nice combos too, for example by knocking an enemy off you and hitting in mid air with an arrow or tomahawk. You also have several different abilities at your disposal as well as numerous skills to upgrade.

    Game is also level based (well, called waves here) and has a great art style, with smooth animations

    My only con is that the price of upgrades seem high, compared to the amount one earns. That said, Yukon Warrior is a fun game and I'll probably buy a doubler

    It's more action than a runner with you throwing tomahawks, shooting arrows, and ramming into wolves and bears all to survive in the wild. The animals are all hell-bent on killing you, red eyes, jackalope antlers, claws and all. The game looks really clean and it runs smooth too. Free and worth a shot!

    Two suggestions:
    - Aiming line for the bow. Find it kind of hard to aim accurately. A faint line that shows the arc of the arrow would be very useful

    - Have the area in which you tap the screen affect the angle in which you throw the tomahawk. What I mean by this is, is that it seems that you always throw the tomahawk at the same angle and the same distance. I think it would allow for better combat if you could change the angle of your throw. So if you tap low, you aim low. If you tap high, you throw at a higher angle.

    Thank you for your suggestions - we did actually try those, here's why we changed it.

    We feel strongly that the game should be challenging, those features made the game too easy. In the attached screenshot you can see a crude example of us testing it out.

    The hatchet functionality you mentioned would actually make the game harder because its a weapon that has some auto-aiming built in. For example when you knock a beast into the air, the hatchet will hone in on it.

    Appreciate your feedback - thanks!

    I have the same feelings for the most part. It is very smooth. I'm pretty far into the game and you start to gain spirit faster because you can keep your multiplier going. The double hatchet and arrow though are pricey!

    This game surprised me. It's fun, easy to pick up and play and has a lot going on i.e. power-ups, weapons, upgrades etc. I love that the app shows you your global rank after each wave. I think if the devs stick with this one they have an AppStore success on their hands...great job RareSloth Games! :D

    Runs fine on iPad 2 (as it is pre-retina), and this is pretty unique and fun. Just one gripe though, I would prefer to have the left side of the screen for the bow and tomahawk only, and the right side for dashing and spells. As it is now, instead of stopping and aiming the bow, I find I'm dashing into enemies and dying - this could just be me though...

    Bottom line: If I can't get a handle on the controls, I'll have to give up playing this.
