Trebuchet

Hurl boulders, iron and fire pots at goblin keeps; the same shot always brings the same collapse.

About Trebuchet

Bring down goblin keeps with a wooden trebuchet. Aim a shot, release it and watch timber, glass and stone collapse. Clear the defenders while making the most of your ammunition.

How to play

Goal
Topple every goblin in the keep with the loads you are given.
How it ends
The keep is won when the last goblin falls, and lost when your loads are spent with any still standing.
Record
The best score and the fewest shots for each keep.
  1. Drag back anywhere on the field and let go: the load flies the other way, harder the longer the pull. The dotted arc shows the start of the flight. Or aim with ↑ ↓ and ← → and loose with Space.
  2. Tap (or press Space) while scatter stones or a fire pot is in the air to split or burst it.
  3. Topple every goblin before your loads run out. Fewer shots win more stars and more points: each load left is worth 10,000.
