Onager by Larzan
A simple "Tanks" clone (not enough time to make a "Worms" clone of it ;) )
"The ONAGER was a Roman siege engine that is a type
of catapult that uses a torsional force,... (wikipedia)
Use your LEFT and RIGHT cursor to move the "stopper" which will determine the angle at which the stone leaves the "arm" of the onager.
Press SPACE and hold to build up power, release SPACE to shoot the stone.
No time for sound + better gfx + more gameplay, have fun :)
Made by Larzan the unmotivated for LD#36, the lost one.

I'll disagree with @brookzerker here and say that, in a way, not having a visual feedback for the strength is interesting, as it becomes something a bit musical: you have to remember/feel the rhythm of the last push-and-release action. Maybe using a sound with a pitch that goes from low to high could reinforce that?
Enjoyed playing this: missed 27 in 160 seconds.
Nice art reminds me of roman pottery
