Fun Facts
Remarks
- A good way to ensure victory is to fire them in quick succession top to bottom, and at the bottom going back to the by-then charged top catapult.
- During the ending cutscenes, an older design of the King of Town was used for some reason.
Glitches
- If you get a higher score a split second before the other hits you and the timer runs out, you win anyway, like 120-125.
- A good way to see the "You Win" screen is if you right-click and hit "Play" while the KoT is saying "I rule the school!" You have to play the flash file.
Goofs
- During the "You Lose" animation, Strong Bad's head does not move at all while he is talking, like it usually would.
Real-World References
- "The punishment is not too bad, eh?" is a direct quote from the Beerhunter game segment on the Bob & Doug McKenzie "Great White North" album in which the "punishment" for opening the non-shaken beer is to drink it.
- This game is based on the classic Atari arcade game Rampart, in which players had to build castle walls and place cannons, and then fire on the other player's castle to knock it down.
