Trebuchet Post

Postal service has ran out of money! So they came up with an idea - instead of postmen, use a trebuchet!

This small game is a simulator where your goal is to drop packages at target points designated with a flag. There are just obstacles in the way.

The controls are explained in the game - but it's better to reference them here:

• Use Left/Right arrow key or A/D to rotate (aim) trebuchet
• Use left mouse button and move mouse to rotate camera around
• Press space to start launching procedure, release space to release package during launch procedure

It takes multiple seconds after package has stopped before trebuchet is reloaded again.

Happy firing!

UPDATE: There is a v2 version available for download. This version improves the following:

1. It is now possible to skip animation at any point (even while projectile is flying). Keep in mind that skipping projectile before it stops means that it is not counted when it falls near target (it has to stop first!)
2. Trebuchet is now reloaded and does not reset its direction.
