My best time was 35 seconds. :\/\rThis game was fun, but hard. At first, I thought you had to wait until the catapult was moving forward, but then I realized you can shoot when the catapult is still on its way back, which helped a little."},{"author_name":"dwhiffing","author_uid":"5662","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 3:18am","epoch":1472440380,"text":"It's pretty fun!

Nice job :)"},{"author_name":"wheerd","author_uid":"92309","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 9:23am","epoch":1472462280,"text":"Nice game mechanic. I pretty much always get overrun by the first coupld of pink guys though :\/ Maybe the enemies could come a bit slower at the beginning. Also some physics for the rock would be great, so that you could deal some "splash" damage to enemies around the impact. I also like the stylized graphics, they really support the mechanic without too much fuzz."},{"author_name":"conrad123","author_uid":"57984","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 2:41pm","epoch":1472481360,"text":"@wheerd @dwhiffing Adding physics would be a great idea, though you would probably need another type of projectile (rocks don't bounce too well). I might add an ice projectile, which would slide and wipe out all the opponents before hitting a wall. But it might be hard to find a projectile that bounces and still stays within the Ancient Technology theme. Maybe you could launch cows, and they would bounce. :P"},{"author_name":"wheerd","author_uid":"92309","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 3:13pm","epoch":1472483280,"text":"@conrad123 I guess I was imagining something like the catapults in Kingdom, where the bolder rolls a bit over the floor after it has hit. That clears a bit better and gives a very satisfying experience :D But I also like the cow idea ;)"},{"author_name":"Seizar","author_uid":"112915","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 4:13pm","epoch":1472486880,"text":"I survived for 38 seconds :) I needed a couple of tries to get the hang of it but it's really satisfying"},{"author_name":"tonynogo","author_uid":"42249","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 4:33pm","epoch":1472574480,"text":"36s.\rNot so easy!

There is only one mechanic so it gets boring after some time. Also it's pretty hard to get score higher than 50-60 points.
