The Spearman is a 2D arcade game where your goal is to get rid of all the enemies that appear on the screen, using only javelins. Your enemies appear at different heights, which is why you need to stay alert in order to finish them off. If you are not quick, they will end up doing away with you.
The control system of The Spearman is very simple: by touching the screen and gently sliding your finger you can control the direction in which you throw your javelin (just as if it were an 'Angry Bird'). Knowing this, you have to try to aim your best to impale your enemies. Keep in mind, however, that you need to hit them twice if you hit them in the leg; and just once if you get them right in the chest, or in the head. If you hit them in the head, you receive more coins.
With the coins you win throughout the games, you can make improvements to your character. At the start, your character has absolutely zilch, but you will be able to purchase new pieces of armor, to brace one impact or another, even when it's to the head.
The Spearman is an arcade game with a very simple concept, but a really enjoyable gameplay. Besides, with its cool stick figure design, the game achieves delightful visuals, without being too showy.
