Slingshot Fortress
About Slingshot Fortress
Slingshot Fortress is a free online puzzle game from Mao Games inspired by Angry Birds, where you pull back a slingshot and launch projectiles to bring down towers and expose the enemies hidden inside them. You start with simple rocks, but as you clear levels you unlock more advanced ammo types, including bombs, missiles, shurikens, and more, each with its own special effect when activated mid-flight. Collapse every structure in a level and eliminate every hidden enemy to earn up to three stars, and use your projectiles efficiently since every launch counts toward your final score.
The game runs entirely in your browser with no download required, controlled with simple mouse aiming and dragging that works well on desktop. Beyond the single-player puzzle levels, Slingshot Fortress also includes a PVP mode where two players can duel head-to-head on the same device, adding a competitive layer to the tower-toppling formula.

Projectiles and Their Effects
Your arsenal grows steadily as you clear levels, and each new projectile comes with its own trick. The Rock is your basic starter ammo, while the Ice Shuriken can be tapped mid-flight to split into three clones for wider coverage. The Missile reaches distant targets that a straight shot can’t hit, the Bomb explodes on command for area damage, the Yoyo can be tapped to make it swing back for a second hit, the Magnet alternates between attracting and repelling nearby debris, the Ghost lets out a scream that can rattle structures, and the Gun fires three shots in quick succession. Learning which projectile suits which tower type is central to clearing later levels efficiently.
Unlocking New Slingshots
Coins earned from successfully clearing levels can be spent on new slingshots beyond the default one, including Ice, Wood, Stone, and Royal versions. Each slingshot type performs better against certain materials — the Ice slingshot deals extra damage to icy plates, while the Stone slingshot cuts through rock structures more easily. Matching your slingshot to the level’s dominant material can turn a difficult tower into a quick collapse.
Tips for Winning at Slingshot Fortress
Aim carefully before releasing rather than firing quickly, since a well-placed single shot often clears more of a tower than several rushed ones. Trigger each projectile’s special effect at the moment of impact rather than immediately after launching, and target a tower’s weak supporting beams instead of its outer shell for a faster collapse. Save your strongest projectiles, like the Bomb or Gun, for levels where you’re chasing all three stars rather than using them on easy early stages.
