Wreckateer is a puzzle video game developed by Iron Galaxy Studios and published by Microsoft Studios for the Xbox 360 gaming console. The player is armed with a ballista that launches various enchanted projectiles, and the object of the game is to destroy as much of the structure as possible using the provided projectiles. Many shots can be nudged in-flight by swiping at them in the desired direction, while some have special abilities that can be activated when the player spreads their arms widely above their head. The game was announced in 2012 with an announcement trailer. The game was more formally unveiled during Microsoft's press conference at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2012. Wreckateer has received mixed reviews from critics, with a Metacritic rating of 67 based on 46 reviews. Chris Watters of Gamespot.com lauded the game's "enjoyable score-chasing and good Kinect controls", while Mitch Dyer of IGN said the game "falls just short of 'irresistible addiction' and instead settles for 'amusing distraction'.".
