Read full description

Next-generation physics based catapult game. Load your projectile, aim, set force and let go. See the projectile-camera angle and adapt your settings. Learn with the tutorial how to move and the settings so you can then conquer the world. Or beat your opponent in a competition. The fun game for a new kind of gameplay. Experience battles in medieval lifestyle environment! With every play a different experience. No result is the same. Be strategic in the placements of the shots - so towers crumble down faster. Stunning 3D graphics with procedural wall destructions and real physics simulation. Many different projectiles to choose from. For example - the “Wall Destroyer” - choose wisely because some are limited. Target your catapult in the right direction, set the angle for the arm and decide on what power to draw. Load the projectile and let go. Watch the flightpath and the impact live on the projectile-cam. Adjust your parameters. Your opponent may be faster - so adapt and learn. ##### Mark S., Tester ##### We played against each other and the stress was enormous. Because I heard the houses beeing destroyed behind me. And I saw the opponents rocks flying at my city. ########## Be faster than your opponent! YOW - Ye Olde World is a game for your new 3D experience. Procedural gaming with a completely new physics engine. More info on https://yowplay.com . Support on https://yowplay.com/support
