Destroy castles with a trebuchet in Castle Smasher - Time Waster

Filed under: Fun, Games, Time-Wasters

Castle Smasher is not side-scrolling in the normal sense of the word; your character actually doesn't move at all. Rather, you stand on the left side of the screen manning a medieval trebuchet. There's a castle on the right, which you have to obliterate using the trebuchet.

Using the mouse you can raise and lower the trebuchet and control its force. The catch is that while you're doing that, you can't see the castle.

Once you've fired your projectile, the screen scrolls to the right to track it, and you see the trajectory. If you're lucky (or good), you've hit the mark; if not, you have to try to learn from your mistakes, aim again, and control the power more carefully.

The game isn't very fast-paced and you don't have an endless supply of projectiles. It takes much more than one hit to obliterate the whole castle, and some towers can absorb numerous hits before they fully crumble.

Sometimes, an enemy soldier will come out of the castle and try to attack you. The ones that I encountered were pretty easy targets, though. We're not talking about angry hordes of Vikings storming your trebuchet - that's a Time Waster for another day, I guess...
