This game was lots of fun to make. Few things I would like to improve but for the most part it works pretty well. I ran out of time and wasn't able to texture a few of my models, and a couple of placeholders had to be drafted into service as complete models. I find the windows full screen version is the most fun to play, but the web version works fine.
Enjoy

@Vile Smile Well you only have 10 seconds once you enter the castles
Flinging yourself around was a lot of fun, but it was rather hard and I often got confused about where to go :)
Not bad, interesting mechanic. I think making the mechanic to get in easier to experience the 10 second would have been cool
I picked the catapult up, and then when I set it down it kind of rotated into the ground, so then I couldn't launch myself. Going to try again...
@Zer0Kelvin Yeah thats one of those glitches that kept popping up. I'm hoping to fix that in a post jam version
Interesting premise!
Flying around is fun and being thrown into outer space is funny :P
I just found the I/K/F button combination to be a little counter-intuitive.
I like the 3D content of this game especially the castles :D
This appeals to the inner catapult-loving child we all have. The game has a few issues and whatnot but it was definitely fun. Congrats!
Loved the music. Got me excited about the game. Great job with the models and the concept. It was definitely fun, but a bit awkward to get right.
Haha love the narration, music and concept. Great job puttin it together :)
The flying feeling is awesome.
Puzzles are interesting, but sometimes I found a bit hard to set the catapults in the right way.
Top notch graphics, but I didn't find the gameplay very interesting.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
The mechanic is interesting, though I don't think it follows the theme too well.
