Abstract
Game apparatus comprising of at least one self-standing upright playpiece and a self-powered striker self-movable along a supporting surface so as to engage and knock over the playpiece. The striker may be aimed toward the playpiece from a stationary position and then caused to move forwardly in the aimed direction toward the playpiece. This allows even young children to take their time to aim the playpiece and not have to try to aim or direct it while it is already moving forwardly. There may be a plurality of the playpieces, each shaped as a fish or other character. The illustrated striker is in the form of a shark having a side-to-side oscillating tail. The striker may engage and knock over the playpieces with its nose, and also with its oscillating tail as it goes by the playpieces.
