Castle Attack 2 ... Protect your castle from the attacking horde onslaught. You can use your archers, or lob rocks, dump boiling oil, or crush under burning logs. Extra points for accuracy. [note: shockwave, loud music, death, destruction]

I totally think that when you kill the bad archers, they pull a Wilhelm Scream.

Yeah, fun.

Does it get as tedious as the first one?

Damn that's fun

THE CASTLE FELL for me at level 6
71746 points
81 crowns
14 Gold 44 Silver 23 Bronze

And, (checks time link was posted to now) an hour of my workday! Ha, thanks. Very very cool, especially with the cows and the rolling logs.

I got to level 7 before my cute little knight guy inside the keep was cut down. Darn battering rams. It said something about up and down arrows to manage the number of archers, but I was frantically hitting the up arrow to no effect....

I hate to be picky, but your mother's a hamster. You father smelt of elderberries. Cool game, though.

You're allowed three archers max and it doesn't appear that once you've croaked them they'll come back, thereby dilluting your workforce. Also burned an hour of my workday.

What's the story with those guys who got a kagillion points yet were only on level four? Accuracy multiplier?

That was fun. A cut above the usual "free-online-game" drivel...

level 7
135342 points
142 gold 74 silver 47 bronze

How did those people get so many points on such low levels? Sheesh.

Fun way to blow the afternoon. Now to the bar...

Hillarious. I was just thinking that I needed a break from Stronhold: Crusader (and want to finish it so I can legitimately go out and buy Stronghold 2) and I see this.

Of course, then I see the "advertising for Stronghold 2" text in the bottom right of this thing. Reasonably fun, but if this is a taste of Stronghold 2, I'm going to be very disappointed.

I finished on level 5 at 43406 points, 104 crowns: 41 gold 40 silver 23 bronze. ...Eh.

I prefer Defend Your Castle! Neato silly stick figures, the game lasts longer, and there's more than just three archers and a couple one shot tricks at your disposal. Besides, it's more fun to pick up the bad guys with your mouse and throw them!

The damn cow kills me every time -- this is frustrating!!

Hmm. 111714, level 7. Once they take out one of your archers, you're toast.

ZachsMind -- my wrist will never forgive me for that.
Drives me crazy how they reset the number of castle defenders! I can never predict whether it will be worth training more of someting since it may be gone next round. Do you know the pattern?

...There's a pattern?
