Tired of those long, boring hours in the office? Not that you are a slacker, that is not the
issue here. The issue is that, as we all know, it is tough to fill eight hours in an office cubicle. There are
times when you are waiting on faxes to come in, there are times when you are waiting for purchase orders to be
returned to you, there are times when you are waiting for a confirmation phone call, and then there are times
when you are simply brain dead from four hours of typing, and ready for a break!
Whichever of these situations apply to you, it is obvious that one thing is for sure, you need
a break! And not just any break, consisting of random conversation at the water cooler, but a break that can
take your mind off of your work. It is a fact that we work better when our minds are fresh, and the best way to
freshen the mind is to occupy it with something else for a few minutes.
So, what could be better than a catapult game? Free online catapult games are awesome because they are not only fun, but they
challenge you to think creatively. Most of these games have one thing in common; they involve shooting/lobbing
something across a map with the proper angle and velocity so that you can hit what you are aiming at. This makes
the catapult games challenging, and awesome at the same time!
There is no kind of anticipation like the kind you experience as you watch your
missile/arrow/kitty cat/rock/small squiggly creature fly toward what you were aiming at, wondering if it will
hit or miss by mere inches! Then, you adjust the angle by a click, increase velocity just a bit, and WHAM! You
score a hit! This is the incredibly simple, yet dynamically structured entertainment value of a catapult
game.
Could you play them for hours? Well, maybe, but where the value really is at is in those
monotonous marathons at work. You know, the ones where you have to consciously avoid looking like a zombie
because you are so brain dead? Play a few of these gems, and you will be back into prime brain power (or at
least partly back) in no time!
There are a lot of free catapult games available online, and they come in so many different
forms that you will probably never have “seen it all”. There are games where you shoot shells with tanks, games
where you shoot arrows with an archer, games where you shoot missiles with a missile silo, even games where you
shoot numbers and have to add them up to score a hit!
And, while some catapult games are meant to be educational, the bulk of them serve one
purpose, to provide you with a way to relax your mind as you pummel a pixel-built target with some kind of
projectile that may or may not resemble the real thing. Are catapult games awesome? Oh yes they are!
