About this game
Step back to the golden age of 1980s PC gaming with Throw Blast, a beloved classic artillery game originally released for DOS systems. This nostalgic title strips away modern gaming frills to deliver pure, uncomplicated strategic fun that has stood the test of time for decades. It offers a welcoming experience for both veteran players who fondly remember early desktop gaming days and new players curious about the roots of casual strategy entertainment. Every match feels fresh thanks to dynamic physics and variable terrain, ensuring you never grow tired of testing your calculation skills against opponents.
Throw Blast uses simple, intuitive turn-based gameplay that is easy to pick up but hard to master. On your turn, you control a stationary soft foam projectile launcher positioned on varied terrain featuring hills, valleys, and small obstacles. Your goal is to land your soft foam blast on your opponent's launcher before they land theirs on yours. To take a shot, adjust two key settings: your launch angle to set the arc of your throw, and your propulsion force to control how far the blast travels. You will need to account for terrain features that block straight shots, adjusting your calculations each turn to adapt to missed shots and changing battle conditions. The first player to land three successful hits on their opponent wins the round.
Retro pixel aesthetics, physics-based gameplay, accessible for all skill levels
Whether you crave nostalgic retro fun or a quick strategic challenge, Throw Blast delivers endless family-friendly entertainment for players of all ages.
