Crow Smasher
Description
Crow Smasher is a physics-flavored aiming game where a cannon, a pile of pebbles, and some very unlucky crows are the whole recipe. Crows are perched on platforms across each stage, and your job is to knock every last one of them down by firing pebbles from your cannon before your ammunition runs out.
The mechanics are easy to grasp in seconds. Drag or move your cursor to position and aim the cannon, set the angle and strength of the shot, then release to send a pebble flying. The projectile arcs through the air, so you need to judge both direction and drop to land a hit, especially when crows sit behind cover or on awkward high ledges.
Across 36 levels the puzzles steadily grow more devious. Early stages place crows out in the open where a straight shot does the job, but later levels stack platforms, add obstacles that block your line of fire, and tuck birds into corners that demand banked shots and clever angles. Running out of pebbles with crows still standing means retrying the level.
Good crow smashers think like artillery crews. Take a second before each shot to read the whole platform layout and decide which crow to target first, since dropping one can sometimes shift or topple the structure holding another. Use gentle, high-arcing lobs for birds behind barriers instead of forcing direct shots through gaps. And watch where your misses land, because each miss tells you how to adjust the next shot.
This is a natural fit for anyone who enjoyed Angry Birds-style games or aim-and-shoot physics puzzles. It plays free right in the browser with no downloads, and its short levels make it ideal for quick sessions on either a computer or a phone.
