One-Shot Catapults

In One-Shot Catapults you have to protect you home from a horde of enemies. For that you have access to a few catapults that have been places along their path. But each catapult can only fire one before you have to reload it. 

For that you have access to a variety of different projectiles to choose from. each projectile has different attributes and advantages against different enemies. But keep the cost in mind and don't waste your most expensive ammunition on the weakest enemies.

Play the Tutorial to learn  the basics and then dive into a harder challenge with levels 1 and 2. If you then still want more you can try the endless mode with an endless and random charge of different enemies. Try to survive as long as possible.

Controls:

- Scroll with Right mouse button or WASD keys

- Zoom with mouse wheel

- Select projectile either by clicking on the button at the bottom or use number 1-5 keys.

- New projectiles have to be unlocked first before you can use them

- Reload a catapult by clicking on it with a selected projectile

- Reloading takes a little bit of time before the catapult can fire

- Only load a catapult after it has fired. Otherwise it changes the loaded projectile and there is no refund for the old projectile

MiniJam 201

This game was made for MiniJam 201 with the theme Support and the limitation "Only one shot". For that I decided to modify the classic Tower defense genre a little bit and come up with this idea. It could use some polishing and I did not get to integrate all content I wanted (who does that during a game jam anyway?), but I think the result is pretty good.

Please leave some feedback as I intend to do a final version with all the comments after the jam.
