Slingshot is a 2-d turn-based game with some really nice gravity simulation. The objective of the game is to destroy the other ship by controlling the power behind and angle of your projectile. The projectile then flies under the influence of the gravity field of that particular map. The planets vary from gigantic ones that can pull your particle into themselves easily if you shoot too close to smaller ones that will barely deflect it unless it is very close. It’s great fun to play this game against yourself and sometimes you can have fun by trying to make the projectile make lots of orbits before the time out kills it or by making it make really neat twisty orbits without hitting the other player. Hitting yourself is an even cooler thing to try when you’re playing against yourself, though if you’re involved in a close match with your younger brother the -2000 points may not be to your advantage, cool factor notwithstanding.

If you’re attempting to install the .deb on a vanilla Feisty Fawn installation, you will need the python-pygame package first. In a terminal, type:
sudo aptitude install python-pygame
Or use the GUI Package Manager (Synaptic) to install that package.

Little useless note: You can use a composite manager to adjust the transparency on the game window and it will still work.
