How to play
According to the instruction screen, the King of Town has gone crazy and is firing cannon shots at Strong Bad's castle. Strong Bad's only method of defense is catapults loaded with food. The King of Town has four cannons to shoot, while Strong Bad is given five catapults to launch food with.
The object of the game is to achieve the highest score before time runs out. The King of Town scores 25 points for each cannon shot that hits Strong Bad's side. Strong Bad must make the King of Town eat the food on his catapults, and every time he does so successfully he scores 10 points and the King is momentarily distracted while he finishes eating.
The winner is rewarded with cupcakes, while the loser is punished by being lowered into either a cauldron full of hot melted butter (King) or The Poopsmith's pile of whatsit (Strong Bad).

Fun Facts
Trivia
- This was originally released as part of the 2003 April Fool's gag.
Remarks
- A good way to ensure victory is to fire bombs 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.
- Strong Bad cannot get points unless he actually hits the King, while the King only has to get a bomb to Strong Bad's side.
- The King of Town appears in a total of seven positions. Three of them are between cannons, which means he cannot attack you for about two seconds.
- The battlements of Strong Bad's castle are divided into four segments, which change appearance every time they're hit by a cannonball. It's difficult to tell due to the simple bird's-eye visuals, but this seems to represent damage and destruction of Strong Bad's wall. Each section disappears when it's taken enough hits, leaving only a simple wall with no details underneath. This all seems to suggest that at one point the game was planned to play somewhat differently, with the wall's deterioration actually impacting gameplay.
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 King is saying "I rule the school!" You have to play the Flash file to do this.
- If the game freezes temporarily and takes longer than the allotted time to recover, the timer will read negative, and the game will continue indefinitely.
Inside References
- The short sound clip played at the start screen is taken from the menu for The King of Town DVD.
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.
Fast Forward
- The catapult used in the game is seen again in Kick-A-Ball.
