01 / The problem
Why it exists.
We wanted a castle game where the fortress you build is the same one other players get to knock down, so building well actually matters.
You stack a castle that has to stand on its own, then raid other players’ castles with a cannon. Real physics decides what falls.
02 / What we built
What is inside.
- 01
Castle building
Stack wood, stone and metal blocks three rows deep, with beams, walls and wedges, then set the golden crown on top.
- 02
Cannon raids
Drag to aim and set the power, choose cannonballs or bombs, and earn two stars to conquer a keep.
- 03
Defence tests
Send Scouts, Raiders or a Warband against your own castle to test it. The real castle is never damaged.
- 04
Leagues and bounties
Trophies move you up the leagues, and each league raises the crown height your castle has to reach.
