"Wreckateer uses the Kinect to put you in control of a massive castle-wrecking Ballista. With the help of Wreck and Tinker, use 6 magic projectiles to travel the land and destroy 60 castles."

Like Wreckateer, Mr. Ballista pits you against a castle. Destroy the castle by flinging round orbs of destructiveness (gotta patent that) at and around it. Each piece you take out increases your score, and taking down multiple targets earns you multipliers that increase your score. Aim for some explosives to inflict maximum damage, maybe hit some pink rings to bust out some multi-ball mayhem, and nail some yellow rings to gain extra time.

Control the launch position, pitch and strength of every shot, and don't worry if your aim isn't exactly true as there is an after touch on the ball so you can adjust your aim while your Orb of Destructiveness is in the air. Everything in the level can be destroyed. From trees to houses, towers to doors, fences, explosives, and chunks of the castle! There are mad opportunities for chained destruction and insane scores! 

Everything in the play area can be destroyed for points! Want to know more? Here's the list:

Trees , fences, vertical rock pillars , wooden jetty pieces = 50 points.

Drawbridge chain = 150 points.

Horizontal castle beams = 200 points.

Drawbridge = 250 points.

Castle tower pieces = 250 points.

Castle walls = 500 points.

RedLynx flags = 500 points.

Wooden house = 1000 points.

Piano = 1000 points.

Large red explosives = 5000 points.

PRO TIPS!

Destroying the base of a tower will not award points for the upper floors so aim high and work your way down!

Hitting the red explosives strapped to the sides of the castle will destroy entire towers or wall sections and award the most points (and save time for more destruction).

You have 2 and a half minutes to destroy as much of the castle as possible. The ‘B’ Button resets the ball for the next shot or you can watch the destruction if your shot was particularly successful.

After your time is up, a flyby camera will show you your destruction!

Pick up Mr. Ballista for Trials Evolution by going to Track Central and selecting the Summer of Arcade feed, then pick up Wreckateer and have even more castle destroying fun with Kinect for the Xbox 360.
