Itch.io page was still in draft, that is fixed now.

I was hoping someone will make a game about trebuchets! And you did, thanks! It was fun. I like different ammo for diferent purposes, it's a nice twist. I wanted to finish it, but I somehow broke the trebuchet. Unfortunately, restarting level didn't help. Top part just flew away :D

But I may try it again from start, it's quite fun. EDIT: Oh, I can go to menu and pick level again. Cool, thanks for that!

Nice game, launching projectiles with the trebuchet is quite addictive. Long paths with the magnet ball are a bit repetitive though.

Very nice, I love the originality! Level 2's sooo hard lol

I love physics puzzles, and had so much fun with this game. The premise that somehow we're going to prove that a trebuchet can take down AI, and we're going to prove it by playing golf, is just so stupid in the exact right way. You didn't need a backstory, it's golf with a trebuchet, but you had the best backstory for a game like this. I really liked the different types of ammo, it added to the variety of puzzles. As @sergueille-bismuth said though, long magnet ball paths are a little repetitive.

Great fun. The audio for loading different projectiles was a bit low. Really enjoyed the clever mechanic of different ball types. Thank-you so much for putting a light trace line on.

Lots of fun playing around with the trebuchet, it was satisfying. Different ball types made for some interesting puzzles. The balls got stuck, so I wasn't able to finish level 8. Nice job overall, it definitely kept me playing for a while. Trebuchet Golf.png

Well, this is awkward 😛 Also got stuck on level 8 because the balls got stuck.

Really fun game regardless! I like the different mechanics of the cannon balls, and big respect for making a puzzle game for a game jam with really well-designed levels. I've tried a couple times but always fail creating good levels that teach the player about the mechanics and then make interesting puzzles with those mechanics. But I think you nailed it! The voice lines when you load the trebuchet are awesome.

Trebuchet was fun to play around with! I liked the progression, however it is getting a tad too difficult very quickly. I LOVED your voice-over - fitted very well.

I very much enjoyed the voiced sound effects! I wished some of the later levels had been simplified a little — I found them rather tedious to solve after I had figured out what I needed to do. I also wished the trebuchet would automatically reload itself. I nearly always forgot to press Space again while watching my projectile go, so then when I was ready to launch again I needed to wait a few more seconds for the trebuchet to slowly reload, every time. Still pretty fun, though!

Captivating game. Really nice difficulty progression. Challenging, but not pushing. Sometimes trebuche gets glitchy on launch after afk. Graphics could use some help, and it would be nice to have some background music and then you are good to release it. Overall the game is fun!
