Bil At! 1.3.3: the slice you hit sets the difficulty from the first shot

Bil At! 1.3.0: Ok Meydanı, a 3D archery range on the steppe
Bil At! 1.3.0 adds a second mode next to the trivia game: Ok Meydanı (“the archery field”). It is three rounds of archery on a 3D steppe: fixed targets (a tower of water jugs, a gourd and a puta, no wind), then swinging targets (hanging jugs, a sliding sled, lanterns and a far puta, in a strong wind), then flying plates and jugs until the arrows run out, in a light wind. You can play it by day or by night.
The camera sits behind the archer and moves in as you draw, so you aim with the arrow tip. A ribbon on the bow shows the wind. At full draw, time slows for a moment, a breath (nefes); hold it too long and the archer's arm tires. Hit a water jug and it topples and shatters.
Also in 1.3.0: a new main menu with both modes, a faster first launch and bug fixes.
