Launch

Genre
Launch is a style of action game with the goal of launching an object or character as far as possible. In these games, the power of the launch is typically determined by aiming and/or timing meters, such as in Toss the Turtle (2007) and Burrito Bison Revenge (2012), or through mouse-movement momentum, in games like Snot Put (2008) or Flight (2010). The genre overlaps heavily with the upgrade genre, with both peaking in popularity on Flash game sites from the late 2000s to the early 2010s, and these games typically involve gaining cash during launch to upgrade the environment and means of launching. Most launch games focus on horizontal distance, but "vertical launch" games like Hedgehog Launch (2008) and Learn to Fly 3 (2016) focus on upward movement and hitting boosts to prevent falling back down.
