GAME OVER

You shot the poor fellow.

Apples split: 0

Read the apple's line or space. Hold DRAW, release on its note.
The tree is ruled like a stave: E 1st line, F 1st space, G 2nd line, A 2nd space, B 3rd line, C 3rd space, D 4th line. Aim high and you clip the tree — aim low and you won't miss the fellow.

How this game helps

Reading music starts with knowing the lines and spaces of the stave without counting up from the bottom. Apple Shot turns that into archery. The apple tree is ruled like a stave: E on the first line, F in the first space, then G, A, B, C and D. An apple appears on one of them; hold Draw, and let go as your aim crosses that note.

Aim too high and you clip the tree; too low and… well, mind the fellow with the apple on his head. Start on Easy, where the bow swings slowly, then move up to Medium and Hard as your reading gets quicker. Hint shows the note name if you need it. Keep your streak going and the notes start to read themselves.
