A silly but fun take on the helepolis, the ancient Greek unwieldy siege tower of yore. Try to get to siege without destroying your mighty weapon in the process.
You'll have to dodge rocks, trees and ancient ruins. You can smash most things, but not without penalty.
At each juncture, gain a new tower stack for your helepolis increasing the challenge to maintain its structural integrity. But make it to the end intact and victory will be yours!
I suspect that it is pretty difficult and tricky. I tried to make it easier, but physics is hard to tune correctly.
Tips:
1. When going through the arches, try not to move too much and go right thru the middle.
2. Trees aren't too bad, but try to smash them head on.
3. Try to avoid pillars as much as possible. If you must hit one, just hit ONE.
4. It should only take about a minute and a half to get to the end, but that is if you don't smash into anything.
5. And finally.....you don't actually need all the tower stacks at the moment. I wanted two ends, either one where you get smashed if you don't have enough tower stacks or you smashing the castle. Right now, only the latter is in there, since its hard enough as is.
A LeftArrow = Move Left
S RightArrow = MoveRight
Good luck!
