Game optimisations and bug fixes

Catapult King is a first-person physics-based puzzle game where you take control of a massive trebuchet. Your mission is to rescue the kidnapped princess by destroying fortified towers and the knights guarding them across over 100 levels. As you smash your way through the kingdom, you earn magic points that can be used to enchant your catapult with devastating powers like Earthquakes and Lunar Strikes. With its beautiful 3D graphics and humorous characters, it’s a delightful spin on the classic destruction genre.

Our Expert Score

89/100

Catapult King is the 3D evolution of the physics-puzzler genre. Instead of a side-scrolling view, you’re behind the catapult, looking down the sights at a tower full of smug knights. The perspective shift makes a huge difference—it feels much more immersive and tactile.

The magic abilities are where the game truly shines. Launching a meteor or an earthquake to finish off a stubborn tower is immensely satisfying. The levels are cleverly designed, often requiring you to hit a structural weak point to cause a satisfying chain reaction of falling stone. It’s polished, funny, and provides hours of 'smash-everything' fun.

Tips & Walkthrough

Finding Structural Weak Points

Don't just aim for the knights. Look for wooden supports at the base of the towers. Knocking these out will cause the entire stone structure to collapse, taking out everyone inside with a single shot. Efficiency is key to earning 3 stars!

Gameplays

Using Magic Wisely

Magic is a limited resource. Save your heavy-hitting spells (like the Tornado) for levels with moving platforms or protected knights that are difficult to hit with standard boulders.

Q&A

You earn Magic Points by completing levels with fewer shots and finding hidden treasure chests within the destructible environments.

Remember playing this game all the time on my moms phone as a kid, I remember getting into fuses wt my little brother over who gets to play on my moms phone just to play this game because it was so addicting and hilarious to see the little men acting as fools before they would get blown up (they really just poofed away 😭) ,teasing and boasting towards the players and remembering all of us busting up laughing in the car when we me and my brother first started playing the game started playing we saw them do something we thought was so crazy and if you play the game you’ll know what I’m talking about it was just real funny and I believe one dance the men did was sum Michael Jackson stuff😭.

I Love This Game!

I had this game on a very old iPad, and played it when my (then much younger) daughter was napping. She is now almost nineteen years old, and not until today was I able to find an updated version that works on my phone. Playing it brings back so many fond memories; and I’m so happy have been given an opportunity to rediscover it. Many thanks to the developer(s). :)

Great again and again

I bought this game several years ago and played through all of the levels. Every so often I come back to it and play through again. Amazing art work with so much detail. The physics engine is effective and comically rewarding as you watch those obnoxious little knights fly, flip and topple over. Great fun!

Yup. You read that correctly. It’s what I feel when toppling these ridiculous knights off of their lame wooden structures, and my god, it’s amazing. I just used the magic to receive all the badges on Level 1 and it was glorious. Catapult King should be an animated cartoon. That’s how good it is. Plus, you can try different angles to demolish their structures for fun.

The Challenge

I’ve had the game for a few years now and still find it challenging , I have about 80 Gold crowns and won’t start the last level until I have all gold until then ,so for me the challenge is great

Why do I love this game

Thu Dec 31 2020 InsaneZumbaChic

This game is so cool I like it and it is one of my number one favorite games whoever created this I like it I started playing this on my Uncle’s iPad either on age 3 or 4 but even I don’t play this game too much I still like it and this is why I rated this game

Development mode?

Fri Mar 06 2020 Scraprok

The game is decent so far. I’m having one issue though. When I try to connect to Facebook it says this app is in development mode and gives me an error message saying I have to get permission or switch to a registered test user. Kind of lame but so far that’s the only issue.

Awful

Shameless money grab that goes from pants-poopingly easy to impossible quickly. What to do - Oh look! They're selling you the only way to win. I am SO tired of these pay to win scams. Plus the game as a whole is dumb, the physics are laughable, there's no way to tell what's required to get better crowns/more jewels on each level so you have no clue what you're trying for. I MIGHT be okay with a money grab for a good game, but not this piece of garbage. Save your money.
