SPRING CATAPULT

After years of backbreaking construction work, you've decided to say goodbye to manual labor and have devised an ingenious solution: a spring-powered catapult designed to launch bricks and raise walls automatically. However, the invention isn't perfect. The catapult keeps moving back and forth nonstop, making each throw an unpredictable challenge: if the timing is correct, the wall grows; if the machine is out of position, the throw ends up knocking down the very thing you built.

💾The download includes the game ROM, PDF manual, and BEZEL for the Stella emulator. The demo (a single level of play) is available for download or to play in your browser.

💻Press SELECT to start the game.  Hit the brick (fire button) with the spring catapult when both are in the right position and throw it into position to build two walls, one on the left and one on the right. They move independently up and down and you can't stop them. Move the joystick up/down to change the direction of the catapult and right/left to move it and hit the brick in the right direction. You must complete a wall of eight bricks on each side to proceed to the next level. If a brick hits a part of the wall that has already been built, it will collapse and you will have to start over. If you knock down five walls ... game over.

🏆I make games for the Atari 2600 and would like to get into the Guinness Book of Records as the single person/company to have made the most games for a single console. More than Atari itself. That's why I've set myself the goal of making at least 180. I'd like to do that by the end of the year. The games I released last year (over 40) will be free to download forever, but to fund this endeavor, the ones released in 2026 will be available for the ridiculous price of $2. If you'd like to help, I'd be grateful.

👍🏻You'll also find new releases on    Bluesky ,     X  and     Facebook    where you'd be welcome to leave a like.
