The Game

With two kingdoms on the verge of war, the great King Autah Madepf theorises that by sending the neighbouring king a message all conflict can be avoided. With all conventional means of delivering a message being too slow however, it falls to a trusty ballista operator to bring peace to the world. Fire your ballista, earn money to buy upgrades and repeat until you can finally deliver your message to the king.

Aim of the Game

- Fire the ballista
- Earn money for your performance
- Upgrade the ballista and unlock unique environment boosters
- Reach the king and deliver the message to stop the war
