Levels
Levels in BC Bow Contest are displayed as "cups", divided among a number of stages. Throughout the stages, players can earn weapon arrows by beating opponents. The player must beat an opponent in a number of rounds in that stage in order to proceed on to the next one. The player will be able to shoot three arrows each turn. Each stage has three difficulties: Easy, Medium, and Hard.

Beginner's Cup

 * Easy: Missing Link
 * Medium: Cave-Girl
 * Hard: Dread

First round
The Target is in front of the player. It is very easy because the player does not have to aim too far or too close.

First round in the below video starts at 0:00 and ends at 1:18

Second round
Same as the first except that the target is further away.

Second round in the below video starts at 1:21 and ends at 2:59

Third round
The target is on the ground.

Rock Cup

 * Hard: Sabre-tooth

First round
This first round is the same as the first round in the Beginners Cup, but the player has to shoot over a low wall.

Second round
There are two Pterosaurs are moving up and down, holding two bags with the target on it. One bag is bigger then the other.

Third round
The third round has a target behind a brontosaurus.

Fourth round
The player is on a Brontosaurus, and there are two targets on the ground.

Fifth round
Similar to Round 2 of Beginners Cup except there is a pterosaur carrying a large skull flying up and down. Hitting the skull gives no points.

Balloon Cup

First round
There are multiple balloons that earn the player points when they destroy them. Different colors earn different points.

First Round
The player is on a stone, and there are several Brontosauruses sunk in the tar pits. The targets are painted on the backs of the Brontosauruses. If an arrow touches the tar pit, it will sink, and the player loses 10 points.

Second Round
Another dinosaur is sunk in the tar pits. The target is painted on its head. When the dinosaur is hit, it sinks and appears elsewhere.

Third Round
There are four platforms with two colour targets painted on them. With two arrows, the platform sinks in the tar.

Fourth Round
Again, there are several platforms with two colour targets painted on them. But this time, there are geysers of tar that will hit the arrows.

Fifth Round
The player has to hit the same balloons of the Balloon Cup, and the only way the arrows do not fall in tar is to hit the rock when they fall.

 * The music for Bow Contest is the same as the music in Parasite, just played with different instruments.
 * The banana arrow and mine arrow are the the exact same sprites from the game Mutiny.
 * B.C. stands for Before Christ (the games setting) and Bow Contest (What the game is about)
