After centuries of peace and isolation, the Sky Fortress of the Whistle Knights has been found! It’s up to you to defend against the invading forces of mankind, with only your bow to help…

Buy and level up unique and devestating weapons, combine them in any way you like to create your own custom powers, deploy cunning defensive upgrades – the tactical possibilities are endless!

On and off, we spent over half a year on this beast of a game! A huge amount of programming and art has gone into the production, not to mention the amazing original score by Evan Merz of thisisnotalabel.com, which we hope to upload in full quality to our site for anyone who wants it.

We also added Newgrounds medal support! So if you have a NG account, head over there and try out the challenges.

Finally, if you REALLY love the game, why not show your support by heading over to the Arrow Of Time Store and picking up an item or two!

  6. mizza-pizza says:

    i whant a second part and toot will help peep

  7. Da Beast says:

    I’d like more to the game like more lvls,upgrades,combos,and defences. For when you beat the game it becomes less fun for me there is no real goal and if you keep playing your points just keep buling and you can’t spend them on anything and like what mizza-pizza a second part where toot will help peep
    or what Mario says more age

  8. James says:

    Holy crap! You’re just getting better by the second. I don’t know of any greater flash producers than the super flash bros.

  9. Mopey says:

    The most beautiful flash game I’ve seen as of yet.
    And I fell in love the the music instantly.

  10. Fartoholic says:

    this game is gorgeous. Good work.

  11. dearstupid says:

    I haven’t been on this site in ages! This site has come a long way. I like the music and gameplay in this. It is very nice and I think would transfer to the iPod Touch or iPhone nicely. Maybe you guys should try making The Arrow of Time an App! I would buy it, it has the perfect set-up and controls for an app. Well keep it up!

  13. edittime says:

    next time could you please make a click and shoot instead of pulling back but still is a good game

  14. allen says:

    really good but hard.=(

  15. Efrain says:

    SEQUEL! NAO! Seriously, I liked it, but the arrow type system was a bit underexplored.

  16. Shadow says:

    Beautiful game, beautiful music — kudos to you guys. Arrow selection/combo is awesome but… Homing+Explosive=easy mode? All other combos I’ve tried pale in comparison to that. Anyway, very nice game.

  17. J says:

    This game is great! It seemed kind of short, though. However, the free play is a great idea! Do the time arrows do anything before you upgrade them, though?

  18. Solaranium says:

    Piercing+Homing=Easy Boss Fights
    Piercing+Lightning=Assault
    Fire+Explosive=Power House

    These are my favorite combo’s so far.

    Brilliant game.

  19. Solaranium says:

    Helium+Lead=Absolutely Nothing
    Time+Helium=Flying Dinosaurs
    Gravity+Time=Hugging Dinosaurs
    Traitor+Time=Evil Dinosaurs
    Ice+Time=Frozen Dinosaurs

    I have a theory, I believe that combining time and time, will open a portal to another dimension
    of space dinosaurs that for no apparent reason, attack your castle.
    However
    I cannot back this up, we can’t combine two of the same.

    This is one of the most entertaining Flash games I’ve ever played. Everything was extremely well though out – everything. Great music, awesome story/characters, perfect gameplay, brilliant features.

    Only problem I experienced is that your points (used in the store) can potentially go negative. Not sure how, but I was able to buy something even though I didn’t have enough ‘money’ for it. Not sure if this is intended…

    Awesome work

  21. Haystack Caldoon says:

    Fun story. Challenging gameplay — but not -too- challenging. Interesting weapons (even if some of them aren’t quite useful, but still fun to try). Excellent music. My favorite part, though is the gorgeous graphic design that went into this… it’s a lovely style and even more so because the music goes so well with it. This is one of my favorite Flash games, ever.

    Many kudos to you!

  22. Luke says:

    I love this game. I love the music, it is great, I love the art work, I love the ability of combining arrows, I love it all. Thanks for making such an awesome game.

  23. pokewgi says:

    THIS GAME IS AWESOME !!
    Piercing+Homing
    The Best
    (Fire, Lightning and Ice+Homing are good too)

  24. Me says:

    I agree. Piercing and Homing make the best combination. Just a few clicks and the baddies go away.

  25. wiizilla says:

    hi well listen this is my combo.Peirce and Homing

    At level 3 it rapes all the bosses if you also use the extra turret it will be godly

  26. MegaHippo says:

    They talked in the end about dinosaurs… have anybody found them? and by the way, really best flash game i have ever played 🙂

  27. Soulbladesky says:

    This is, by a long shot (no pun intended), the BEST flash game I have EVER played! =) I am a huge fan of your works (I realise you both do different things), and you have exceeded yourselves with this game. By the way, my fave combo is level 3 Lightning and level 3 Explosive arrows…got me through the last levels beautifully =)

  28. scarface says:

    piecing+lightning=ASOME tra

  29. John Smith says:

    One of the best games ever. I love the music. I love the way i can finish it without dying once. I love the demented whistle bent on shooting a floating castle out of the sky with a machine than looks like a giant melted tin can. I also love the art.
    Bomb arrow+lightning arrow=Victory!!!!!

  30. Chris says:

    lol homing is a bit OP good game though

  31. Frasier is my favorite Tv present of all time. Now I can see reruns anytime I would like to thanks towards the World wide web. I Get Free Diablo 2 Items Online. for the way to perform, within the way residence, although eating dinner and even although working. My family thinks I’m crazy and really wants me to see someone. They believe I’m addicted for the Internet and particularly this present. I don’t think it’s that significantly of a dilemma, but my wife certainly does. She got so mad the other night she threw something at my laptop. Maybe I do have to have help as I do not desire to lose my wife and kids. Tonight I’m likely to ask her to make an appointment with an individual for the two of us.

  32. For that past nine days we happen to be snowed in. This has not been very very much fun as all seven kids are already trapped within the house with me for just a great deal with the time. It has been too cold for them to stay out for any length of time. To add to that, our electric keeps planning in and out. Whenever we do have electricity we charge the laptop battery. When the electricity goes out, we either play games, read or Get Free Diablo 2 Items Online. thanks to our generator. I’m glad we discovered the website where we can do this as it keeps every person occupied and quiet. I imagine I miss the quiet most of all.

    Все замечательно: и по стилю изложения, и по содержанию. Так держать!

  34. Chill596 says:

    I found the dinosaurs!!! It only works with the 3rd upgrade of the arrow of time, and the best place to use it is in the 3rd level.

  35. fan1 says:

    Do you like pokemon?

  36. fan1 says:

    Any girls here?

  37. Random person says:

    I found the dinosaurs!!! yay!!!
    P.S. Fan1; your a loser. 😛

    I found this game a while back & didn’t seem to like it at first for not being too good at it. But I refound it on this site unaware that the creators of one of my favorite games by design(Blue Rabbit’s Climate Chaos) made this game. So I decided to try this again & now I’m beating it for a fifth time. I’m currently addicted…I’m really hoping for a sequel.

  39. Dirrwen says:

    the music is absolutely amazing, as is the game. i like the clock hands on the start menu, how they turn into a bow and point at the button your cursor is over

  42. Thanks so much for your intelligent page;this is the words that keeps me on track through my day. I’ve been searching around for this site after I heard about them from a colleague and was pleased when I was able to find it after searching for some time. Being a avid blogger, I’m pleased to see others taking initivative and contributing to the community. I just wanted to comment to show my support for your post as it’s very appleaing, and many bloggers do not get credit they deserve. I am sure I’ll visit again and will recommend to my friends.
