Catapult King

Developed by Wicked Witch and published by Chillingo, Catapult King marries the popular "flinging-and-flattening" gameplay with a slick 3D presentation that, once again, manages to occupy a significantly greater portion of my attention than expected.

Catapult King may not be the king of catapult games, but once you start to delve in to its harder challenges you'll be glad the controls provide you with the finesse needed to complete them.

A game where your enemies mock you by exposing their derrière has to be played immediately.

Catapult King is what it aspires to be: an entertaining and enjoyable game, with an interesting progression and good difficulty curve. It takes the concept brough by Angry Birds and gives it a new perspective and 3D graphics. A fresh alternative with a medieval setting, but not a revolutionary game.

If you're into physics-puzzlers and haven't tried one in 3D, this is a good place to start.

It certainly looks the part, but Catapult King's use of 3D makes it all too difficult to enjoy. Stick with those Angry Birds for your castle-toppling needs.

It will get frustrating at times -- particularly in some of the larger levels -- but all in all it's an enjoyable take on the slingshot (or catapult, in this case) mechanic.
