Happy peasants harvesting grass. Peaceful people admiring the clouds. Then the bad guys come along and start sieging and such. You don't need much of a story when it comes to physics-based chain reaction games, but in the case of Siege Hero, from the creator of Sieger, you definitely need to know you're the one fighting on the side of good! This highly-polished iOS game features gameplay similar to Crush the Castle, Angry Birds, and even Implode!, although the sum of its well-made parts adds up to something much more intriguing.
Each level in Siege Hero is set up with a clear view of an enemy fort, complete with wobbly platforms, towers, and witless soldiers. Your job is to tap the screen and launch a projectile to crack the building, allowing gravity to pull everything down to the ground. Your main throwing tool will be rocks, and they're surprisingly good at hacking away at wood and stone blocks. Later on you'll get things like bombs, fire potions, and barrels of oil to toss, making the destruction even bigger and more impressive than before!
For warriors trained in sieging, these guys really are pushovers. To defeat the bad guys, simply knock them to the ground or whack them hard enough with pieces of debris. The more efficient you are at causing carnage, the more points you'll receive. You get bonuses for saving peasants, having ammo left over at the end of the round, and for smashing things like lamps, treasure chests, and pottery that populate many levels. Earn a high enough score and you'll get a gold crown for the level. Gold crowns unlock a number of bonus treasure stages. They're more challenging and entertaining than the main game and well-worth fighting for!
Analysis: Siege Hero is everything we like to see in a casual mobile game: high production values, a control scheme built for touch screens, and easy pick-up-and-go gameplay. The difficulty level is well-tuned for quick sessions but also allows you to go back and try for a better score, something that adds replay value and challenge only for gamers who care to experience it. Smart design decisions are around every corner of this game, making it a must-have if you own an iOS device!
Destruction is the central focus of Siege Hero, but it isn't all bombs and collapsing buildings. The game requires a modicum of thought, planning, and trial and error in order to succeed. The difficulty level isn't all that high, and if you don't care for gold crowns and bonus stages, you can breeze through the game's 63 levels in no time. Getting a good score, however, actually takes some practice. You can't just stumble into epic hero status, you know.
We've seen Flash games ported to mobile devices before, but Siege Hero is much more than that. It was built for the iOS platform in mind and incorporates lots of tiny design choices that makes it well-suited for small touch screens. Physics puzzle games have always had a safe home with casual gamers, and Siege Hero is easily one of the best on the entire iTunes App Store!
I love the game, but an stuck on lvl 2 screen 63. Any help would be great! thanks

2-38, Just beat it!
very qickly burn the X on the Right followed by the Right post on the middle structure and then the rightpost at the connection point of the X on the far left structure!
These are great! Does anyone know how to beat level 2-63?
I'm stuck on 2-42
Can anyone help me in 2-48? Thanks a lot!
Level 2-63:
Zoom in and toss a stone right on the line between the rock and wood planks directly below the innocent citizen. The rock should hit exactly between the little "nick" on the rock and the wood. This will cause the cart to pull the entire structure down with its moving wheels.
Level 2-42:
Use the stones to break the horizontal platforms just above the two soldiers sitting between the big barriers. Then, toss a fire bomb in the center, just above the lantern.
Level 2-48:
Use a firebomb on each of the thick wooden boxes near the bottom of the structure. Then, as quickly as you can, toss the rock and hit the vertical wooden plank on the bottom center.
Anyone beat level 2-12 (the lst treasure level????)... I'm stuck like GLUE!
Can anyone help?? Im stuck on 2 25...freaking me out!! tks in advance
Level 2-12:
Toss a rock at the bottom third of the second rock pillar on the left. It will knock the tower over and set the bombs off one by one.
Level 2-25:
Throw a rock at the middlemost thick pillar on the bottom right tower. Hit it on the top just to the right of the center.
2-12 the level where you only get two fires. How do I get through it?
How do I clear 2-15 without killing the peasants?
The game is not letting me into the next level. I was congratulated for completion of a level and I can't get back to the island to continue to the next level???????
I have completed levels 1 and 2. Is level 3 Age of Pirates? When is Age of Pirates available? Is that the last venture?
When is level 3 available?
how about 1-61?
No word on when Age of Pirates is going to be released. But I WANT it!
Mrsromero182: Which level are you talking about? 2-12 gives you two rocks, not fires. Pause the game on the level in question and see what it says in the upper left corner of the screen.
Vikki: Tap on either the arrow pointing right or the small arrow pointing to a rectangle.
Level 2-15:
Toss the fire bomb to burn both the triangular wooden piece and the support beneath it. Then, throw the rock at the long wooden piece on the top, sending the hammer swinging down.
Level 1-61:
Toss the cluster of three bombs at the top of the first light pillar on the bottom left. Then, toss a bomb between the rightmost light pillars to finish the job.
I need help on the last treasure level on the age of discovery. Can you help.
Anyone beat 2-11 treasure level?
"Which level are you talking about? 2-12 gives you two rocks, not fires. Pause the game on the level in question and see what it says in the upper left corner of the screen"
He is talking about 2-12 in the treasure room. You're talking about 2-12 within the game level Age of Discovery. I too am completely stuck and have NO idea. That's the last level I have to get three gold crowns all around... Any advice would rock.
And again, it's the last level of the treasure room on Age of Discovery where all you have is two vials of fire. Thanks!!!

How do you do level 2-37?
Stuck on 2-41 please help
Level 2-41
Toss a rock between the two close pillars on the right third of the screen. Follow with the second pillar from the left on the bottom. If anything remains standing in the center, take out the pillar with another rock.
Level 2-37
Break the bottom left box first, then snap the rope holding the catapult to fling the box.
Level 2-49
Use one grapple on the thick rock pillar on the right, then another to remove the wood preventing the green block from sliding down.
rob: Try reversing the order of the instructions listed. Sometimes that works.

Help how to get gold crown on 1-62?
Level 1-62:
Knock out the top left corner of the right side pillar on the little structure on the left. It should collapse and send a shard over to the right to clear out the lone enemy. Then, toss a bomb just between the center pillars in the middle of the big structure, and if needed, finish things off by taking care of the horizontal rock platform.

Need Help on 3-20 :D
Wow, a great new set of levels! S-Hero, 3-20 was giving me a hard time too (I had to come back after finishing all the rest)! To beat it:
First burn away the two wood beams to the top and left of the cannon. Next burn away all three pieces of the T-Beam by clicking right in the middle of the T which causes a pirate to fall on the cannon which then safely fires over the girl's head and kills the other pirates.
Level 3-46 is driving me crazy!!! It's the only level I can't get a gold crown in & I've been trying for days! Im seeing the level when I close my eyes. Plz help!
Wow! I just sent a cry for help on level 3-46, I went back to the level rite after I asked for help & got a gold crown! :)
Now I'm going to do all the treasure levels so I'm sure I'll b back for help! Thx!!!
Some help on level 3-11 please!
Pirates 3-46 is soooo frustrating, got close to gold but just can't top it, any help?
For 3-46 burn the far left hand bottom 2 wooden blocks (same size as concrete block), make sure you only burn these 2. This should take out the pirates on the left side, repeat for right side.
LVL 3-62
I have it, but not with a gold crown.. Any help?
thx
I am top 100 on leaderboards. I cannot get gold on 3-46 Pirates. I just cry.
Courtney, or anyone!! Please help!! I'm having the same problem, I can't seem to get the gold crown on level 3-46? Any suggestions or walk through instructions?
Thanks Boab, got it!!
thanks for 3-20 ttyler1999!
can someone help me with 3 - 49?
i cant do it with golden crown:(
Boab - you Da Bomb!
i only miss golden crown on level 3-32 can anyone help me!!! please
For 3-46, fire bomb the bottom two wooden planks in the lower left and lower right corners. Only the bottom two, because the longer top one needs the kill the pirate with the black hat.
Hi,
Please can someone help me with Age of Pirates level 11? 3-11 seems impossible!!! :'(
Can anyone here please help me with Age of Pirates level 3-62? Thanks!
Woohoo - all completed!
@siegeheroaddict for 3-11, firebomb the bottom left bit of wood (the one under the guy with the black hat and to the left of the wheel'). This should push the explosives under the 'mast' structure. Now firebomb the guy on the right of the lowest wooden platform on that 'mast'. This will drop the other guy standing on the same platform onto the explosives. Job done.
I'm stuck on 3-28! I can knock everyone down, but I can't get a gold crown. any help?
For 3-28
Burn the bottom left wooden block on the right hand most tower.
Tower should fall left and take everyone out and give you a gold.
For 3-62
Take out the bottom of the 4 small blocks, this should cause the right most tower to lean against the one on its left.
Next bit is tricky, need to burn the 2 wooden blocks that are touching between the towers and the vertical one below it for the left tower. Don't burn the horizontal one on the right tower. Get it right and it's a gold.
Stuck.Age of Pirates level 3-31

Hi, I've just played this game on google chrome. I do not have a smart phone. Is there a way I can play more than the 35 levels that chrome provides?
Is there even a way I can play this on my desktop?
