About Catapult Physics
Catapult Physics is a projectile puzzle. Choose the launch angle and power, watch the dotted arc preview, and fire at a target on the ground. The distance depends on the square of the power and on the sine of twice the angle, so 45 degrees gives the longest shot. Hit enough targets within your limited shots.
How to play
- Move the angle and power sliders. The dotted line previews the shot.
- Press Fire when the arc ends on the red target.
- Hit enough targets before you run out of shots.
Tips and strategy
- A 45 degree angle gives the most distance for any power.
- Distance grows with the square of the power, so small power changes matter more at the top.
- A lower angle with more power gives a flatter, faster shot to the same spot.
