Crush the Castle

Some of the levels the castle is too far away for ANY ammo to reach.

I’m seeing a lot of poor reviews for this game, really nit picking the features. First of all, let’s be honest. Most mobile ports of just about any game, computer or console, have piss poor controls and limited features. Also, every level in this game is completely possible to achieve a gold metal if you put your mind to it. Sometimes you just have to go for silver and then come back after you’ve completed the entire island and gotten all the possible projectiles. People also seem to be melding together Crush the Castle 1 and 2. This game keeps the levels similar to 1, but steals some of the projectiles from 2. You can’t expect it to have every single detail from both games. It’s a tiny, compressed mobile game. I paid for this game years ago and redownload it every time I’m in the mood to play it, and every time I am not disappointed. My fuel? Nostalgia. Who cares if you can’t mute the game, or can’t 100% every castle easily, or can’t zoom out? It’s doesn’t matter. The whole point of this port is so that millions of people can relive a childhood experience, and many have lost sight of that. The reason that there have been no recent updates is because this game is already perfect for what it set out to achieve. Nostalgia, childhood reflection, and a fun escape from everyday life.

On skull island in grey waste, the left most level is not possible to beat. I have been stuck on this level for some time now. The castle is too far to reach. I have tried every type of ammunition available although it is physically impossible to reach the targets. If anyone can help please let me know

Either the rose tinted glasses were darker than i thought or they messed up some things in the port because its not as good as I remember. The upsides are the fun and quirky variety or throwables and how some are satisfying… but thats if they work right. For example, one mission required pinpoint precision with a firebomb to set the wood in the castle on fire to be a one shot, but it didn’t spread to everything for some reason making me do the difficult shot again and only on the third time did it spread properly. Another was where i had to launch a block at a castle using a well placed bomb, but the block hit the ground like it was magnetic and lost all momentum making me do the hard shot again. All this precise work with a funky trebuchet just to have your amazing shot be worthless really killed the fun of some creative levels. Its a bit of old school fun but not worth the money.

Defeated every level in 1 shot it took me ages. Wish more games like this were made today I miss the days of games like this

Sometimes very entertaining, but often frustrating because of lack of zoom control and unreasonable firing mechanic. On some of the castles the precision of targeting required is beyond the ability of the firing mechanic to support, and with the lack of zoom, the game often becomes simply a game of chance.

So i see lots of people saying “tHiS iS aNgY bIrB rIp off” this game came out first so angry birds is the ripoff

Not much to say but this physics game pre-dates Angry Birds. It's still a fun game to waste some time that doesn't have flashy graphics or consumes more battery. Still 5 stars.

Hear!Hear! How did I not know about this game until just recently! Yes it’s somewhat rudimentary and a bit short... but the gameplay is highly addictive and a tremendous amount of fun. The trebuchet action is brilliantly done, giving you a real sense of control over the launch of wonderfully imaginative and crazy projectiles! The ability to create your own “castles” is a great touch... I’ve had just as much fun with that feature as I had blasting my way to Gold on every level! Bravo!

I know this sounds simple but when I’m listening to a podcast my intended goal for some free time I can’t. I want to be able to play the mindless game to keep my thoughts on a podcast or audio book but I can’t turn the sound off. Please update this because I love the game from playing when I was a kid.
