Slingshot is a free and open source 2D turn-based strategy simulation game set in the gravitational fields of several planets
Review
- The goal of the game is to shoot other spaceships through a field of planets, but their gravity makes it challenging;
- Each round is different: randomly generated playing fields;
- To hit your opponent, you can rotate your ship to aim in any direction, and you can change the power at which your projectile is launched – the initial speed at which it flies;
- Keyboard control;
- Network game support.
