Use objects laying around to force a giant cork back into the dam protecting your village. Farmers, sheep, apples, anything goes.

This game was made as part of a competition where we'd build the winning idea. The chap who won was called Noah Wentworth.

"throwing stuff must be fun (?)"

date: June 2, 2009

well is nice but repetitive
maybe make somthing like the catapult gets rusty so it needs more power to throw the object
that way you could not memorize the numbers , but still you know you got to put more power on it
or something ._.
maybe make the stuffs breaks ._.
still good game

It's quite repetitive and tiresome, and you can literally play it forever if you got the patience and the skill for it. I don't think it should be called skill, since it's basically memorizing around at what power every item should be launched and keep running back and forth picking the items and throwing.
Apple: 5 power
Cucumber(?): 9 power
Pumpkin: 11 power
Sheep: 13 power
Goat: 13 power
Farmer's Daughter: 16 power
Farmer: 27 power
Mountaineer: 28 power
Cow: 29 power
Horse: 31 power
Boulder: 31 power

With those numbers in mind you can just run back and forth, fire away, keep the water flowing VERY slowly, and coupled with the powerful effect of the icecream, you could play literally forever. I myself played for around 2500 seconds (talk about not having anything better to do).

One little graphical problem I found was that once past around 800 seconds, the right side of the background would start turning black, due to the scrolling, which would eventually expose the end of the background image.

"dam game is a damn good game"

date: March 11, 2009

very good game. wish there we more options, but fun nonetheless

if you're looking to always hit the damn, you need to look at the number that pops up when you pick something up. a general guide for the power needed to hit the cork is 33% of the number that pops up, +10%-ish after that for the range. since apples are the smallest at 18, the power range is 6.0-6.6, while boulders and the horse are the largest at 100 with a range of 33.3-36.6.

these are not completely accurate, and it will take some getting used to the overall power range, but 33% is a good number to shoot for.

also, if you get 3 hits in a row with the same object without missing with that same object (you can use other objects in between these hits) you get a 10 second bonus to your score. so if you're good with apples, you can constantly run with them, keeping the dam steady while every 3 apples getting an extra 10 seconds.
