Actually, it's slightly better than just a single target spell because if it misses the first target, it keeps going and if there is another target in the path of it, it has a chance to hit that one, and so on and so on until it hits something or reaches the end of the 90 ft. range. So if you can line up a few targets, you're more likely to at least do damage to someone as opposed to a simple binary hit/miss like other similar spells.
It's also magical bludgeoning damage which means it bypasses a very common resistance while also not being subject to the most common resistances and immunities (fire, poison, cold). All up, it's a really good spell.

It says 60ft in the range attribute, but the text says 90ft.
You choose an object within 60 feet, which then flies up to 90 feet.

The range determines how far away the object is that you can choose to then catapult up to 90 ft. away.

Oh..
Thank you.
So the max range is 150ft. I can choose a rock 60ft away and have it fly a further 90ft from its current location to a target.
