Played a few more levels of Crush The Castle last night, but, frankly, it’s becoming less interesting the more I play.
Crush The Castle (iPhone)
May 6th
Played a fair few levels of Crush the Castle last night. It’s the iPhone version of a web game and basically set the template for the likes of Angry Birds. (That’s at least as far as I’m aware.) I shall explain in pictures.
There’s a few things that make it worse than Angry Birds. Obviously, it lacks the charm of that game. Also, the trebuchet is on its own screen, so you can’t actually see the castle when you fire. The various projectiles you can use aren’t nearly as interesting or as skillful as the birds in Angry Birds. Finally, there’s not such a satisfying sense of destruction. Parts of the castle fall rather than break – and it takes a lot of effort to make them do that. You don’t feel nearly as powerful in Crush The Castle as Angry Birds.
Still, it’s not a bad game by any means and was free when I downloaded it yesterday, so I’m not going to complain too much.
