PULTZ

PULTZ

Pull back. Let fly. Smash the castle.

Haul your catapult's arm back, Angry Birds style, watch the dotted arc, and let go. Stones trail light across a neon night, castles of wood, stone and glass teeter and crash down, and every shot leaves its trace on the screen so you can adjust the next.

CASTLE CRUSHER (1 PLAYER)

Fell the castle's guards before its soldiers march over the hill and reach your catapult. A low, full-power shot ploughs straight through a marching column and sends them flying. Five castles named for the castles of Ulster (Dundrum, Carrickfergus, Dunluce, Greencastle and Killyleagh), then castles made up at random, faster and faster.

2 PLAYER MODE

A catapult and a castle each, turn about on one phone or computer, on a new battlefield every match: rolling hills, a stone rampart before each catapult, and a well-defended castle built at random, with a curtain wall, towers of wood, stone and glass, and up to seven guards. The wind shifts every turn and the aiming line only shows the start of the flight, so judge the rest. Fire, or spend your turn on a castle repair. Land a shot beside the other catapult and it's knocked out for a turn. Fell the other garrison to win.

THE AMMO

- STONE: as many as you like.

- FIRE: sets wood and roofs burning; the flames spread.

- EXPLOSIVE: a powder keg that throws the whole castle about.

- PLAGUE: a sheep. It bounces, it baas, and its green cloud fells soldiers and guards and sickens a catapult's crew.
