Crush the Castle

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.

This is THE game that inspired Angry Birds! Before iOS gaming was around, Kongregate and New Grounds where the places to play all the best Flash Based Indie Games. Fun and simple games that were challenging, but didn’t require you to devote your life to in order to enjoy them!<br/><br/>Super excited to have CtC on my 8 Plus (Update - and now, 16 Pro!)

The game is pretty solid. It brings back a lot of nostalgia but it’s really short, only took a couple of hours to finish the whole game and get gold on the levels <br/>Side note an option to mute the audio for headphone users would be awesome!

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.

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.

Hear!Hear! How did I not know about this game until just recently! <br/>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!

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

Been playing this game off and on over the past 15 years. Played the original on the PC and didn’t hesitate to acquire the ported version on the iPhone when it was released. The only reason I didn’t give this five stars is because I vividly remember having more fun when I played it for the first time on the PC. There were more features with the new items that were introduced for each map and region. They DO give you new items on this version but it just isn’t the same when I played this on the PC.<br/><br/>All in all, this is a fun game to help kill time and it brings back memories from when I first played it. Not as good as the original but it gets the job done. 👍
