Trebuchet Trouble

by mcayn

Load the trebuchet and fire away! Destroy the castle, kill the king.

Pick up boulders and drop them at the loading pad at the back of the trebuchet,
then interact with the wind-up wheel at either side.
While controlling the trebuchet you wind up the counterweight with the UI wheel on the left
and launch with the lever at the right.

WASD to move
E to pick up / interact
Q to trop
LMB to drag UI stuff
RMB for scope

Note: Opting out of graphics. 3D models are made by me but the back textures are made with ChatGPT
Didn't get around to add sounds or music (yet, will update later)!

Silly question: what am I supposed to pick up? I tried sheep, rocks, can't interact with the trebuchet or anything...

@jarno Thank you for testing my "game"! Once a boulder is dropped at the loading pad at the back of the trebuchet you should be able to interact with one of the wind-up wheels on the side of it. Then adjust the counterweight with the UI wheel on the left side to decide launch strength and pull the lever on the right side to launch the projectile.
Hope that works! Else I might have uploaded a buggier version than I first thought! xD

The running animation of the player character is a work of art! Fun game, who doesn't love a trebuchet? I found that seeing your targeting marker could at times be a bit difficult, but most of the time it was fine. I really liked the inclusion of the troops fighting between you and the castle, that was great for the atmosphere. Good job!
