Hi all, Castle Crusade is a catapult battle game for iPhones and iPads. You build your own castle and then go to battle other players or work your way through the single player campaign. We have soft launched in New Zealand but we would love to get some more beta testing done before releasing it in other countries. If you're interested, please submit your test flight ID (usually your Apple ID) here: http://eepurl.com/cacUtv Below is the promo video and app info. Thanks for your time, Bill --- Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel --- App info is currently processing and/or the app is not yet fully available for sale on the US App Store.
AppInfo above doesn't seem to be working, possibly because it is only available in one country, so I'll post some screenshots and the app description here. Begin your Crusade!

Challenge your friends to a battle Unlock awesome upgrades to level up and strengthen your castle and catapult. Simple to play yet deep battle strategy
I'm intrigued by this... do the castle defenses do anything? Like, I see soldiers lined up around the castle walls, do they help in the battles? Or, is just shooting catapults? Not that that isn't a cool concept, just wondering if there was more going on Thanks
At this stage - no - but our plan is to eventually add characters that you would strategically place in your castle design, each with different defensive or offensive abilities. Here's a sketch of one of them - the kings advisor. So at the moment the main strategy is around designing your castle using positioning and certain brick types to make it hard to destroy, and then in offence it's about choosing the right type of projectile to destroy certain types of bricks, as well as aiming and shooting as quickly as possible. Thanks for taking the time to check it out.
Thanks to everyone who submitted their testflight details. I've added you to the system so if you haven't received a notification from testflight please let me know.
Thanks again to everyone who signed up for beta testing. Apple appears to have disabled the version I had previously uploaded for testing, so I'm uploading a new build now which should be cleared for testing in a day or so. Thanks Bill
which version of the game are you running? Did you download it via Test Flight or the New Zealand App Store? The previous test flight build we had was automatically disabled by apple when we added a later version to the app store, so I'm wondering if you were somehow able to download this disabled version? Thanks
Thanks again to everyone who signed up for the beta testing. I've just pushed the button to make v1.0.2 available via testflight, and you should have received some sort of notification with install instructions. Any problems just let me know. Thanks Bill
Sorry folks. A user reported a serious bug in the castle builder. This has been fixed and I'm uploading a new build now.
This, along with a couple of other bugs, should be fixed in the version I just released on TestFlight. Thanks for your time Bill
Hi all, We're about to do another round of beta testing so if you're interested in checking out Castle Crusade please submit your Apple ID here: http://eepurl.com/cacUtv A build will be sent out via Test Flight mid next week. iOS device (iPhone or iPad) required.
