    Does anyone know how to create a launcher like the rubber band powered catapult object in the game "Too Fat To Fly"? It was built with Buildbox so it should be possible. I don't even need anything too sophisticated. A slingshot or even see-saw action would work too. I just want to launch rocks and marbles.

    Thanks for any help you can offer!

    That game does not look to be built in Buildbox...

    It would be hard to build such a game in build box with those specific controls. For a similar effect though you could try to play around with spawning physics objects underneath the character on the press of a gameplay action button. Set bounce to high or give the spawned objects some upward momentum to knock the character forward.

    Stevinz, thanks so much! That's a great idea. Sorry if I wasted anyone's time on a wild goose chase. I thought "Too Fat to Fly" was featured on the Buildbox site a until a few weeks ago but I could definitely be wrong.

    Thanks again for your help!
