Slingshot Siege

Slingshot Siege is a side-on physics puzzle in a bright cartoon yard. Robot dummies sit on top of wobbly towers built from crates, planks, barrels, glass panes and spring boards. Pull back the slingshot, check the dotted arc and the angle and power readout, and let go. Every tower is properly simulated, so planks topple, crates tumble, barrels roll, glass pops into harmless sparkles and the robots land softly in a padded pit with a dizzy face. Nothing breaks into sharp pieces and nobody gets hurt.

Forty hand-built levels are spread over four worlds: the Meadow, the Harbour with its seesaws and swinging crane weights, the windy Rooftops with pulleys and trampolines, and the Castle Yard where it all comes together. Each level is quick and has three stars to earn: knock every robot down, do it within par shots, and pop the star balloon on the way. The later levels are real brain teasers. Five balls unlock as you go, from the trusty rubber ball and the heavy iron ball to a bouncy ball, a splitter that becomes three and a feather-light balloon ball that drifts on the wind. Retry is instant, and most levels let you undo your last shot.

When you want more, Endless mode builds fresh towers from a seeded generator, stage after stage, for an endless run that only stops when your shots run out. Clearing a stage tops up your shots, and your high score is saved in your browser. Play with a mouse, the keyboard or touch: drag the slingshot, fine-tune with the arrow keys and fire with Space.
