Gameplay

The goal of the game is to injure all inhabitants of various castles by using a trebuchet to fling large rocks or bombs at them. Players are able to create and destroy their own designs of castles as well.

Crush the Castle 2

Crush the Castle 2 is similar, but features new maps, new power ups and a revamped level builder. New things to shoot out of the trebuchet are greek fire, ice grenades, jars full of eels, and even a mysterious purple flask.[3]

Development

The developers cite the game, Castle Clout, released October 4, 2008 by Liam Bowmers, as their inspiration.[1][4] Armor Games requested and received permission from Bowmers to use his ideas for the development of Crush the Castle.[1]

Reception

IGN's Jeffrey Haynes called it "surprisingly deep and fun for such a simple premise."[5] Joystiq's Justin McElroy stated "It's a simple mechanic, but it's hard to deny that's it's satisfying."[6] GameZebo's Stephen Greenwell rated it 2/5 stars, stating it is "easy to pick-up and play", but has "very repetitive gameplay" and "lackluster visuals and sounds".[7] IGN's Levi Buchanan rated it 7/10, stating "If you like physics-based puzzle games, this really is one of the best."[8] Kotaku's Brian Crecente stated "I've grown quite fond of Crush the Castle."[9] Gamasutra's Christopher Hyde listed Crush the Castle in his list of "The 99 Best Free Games Of 2009".[10] Crush the Castle has been called a free alternative for a popular game of the same type, Angry Birds. They further say that "It is not as fun as Angry Birds", but "someone who is desperate to play [...] can try this out."[2] FlashMush reviews gave the Crush the Castle 2 Player's Pack a score of 8/10 citing that "[...] it's one of the best catapult games out there." [11]
