King and Balloon

Description:

As the war between your kingdom and a neighboring empire rages on, you've been put in charge of protecting your absent-minded king who has locked himself in his castle.
But the enemy has devised a cunning plan to kidnap the king, using hot air balloons!.

You must strike down the swooping enemy balloons with your arrow catapult to prevent them from landing in the castle's courtyard.
Look out for falling projectiles that will disable your catapult on contact, and make it possible for the enemy to fly off with your king!.
