Notebook Artillery for Android

11 things about Notebook Artillery

1. Notebook Artillery is a love letter to hours wasted playing video games in Middle School computer labs instead of working on class assignments.

2. And sure, maybe if I would've spent more time paying attention in class and less time playing video games I wouldn't be making indie games as a means to pay off insane amounts of student debt.

3. Development was fairly quick, eating up most of my spare time in lockdown not spent huddled up with my family or scouring grocery stores for toilet paper, pasta, and flour dressed like a doctor going into surgery.

4. Players choose their "firing angle" and "powder amount" to fire cannonballs at opposing player's towers, or break floating targets in a solo player target practice mode.

5. And for fans of the original Macintosh classic, I hope this fulfills the desire to play this game again.

6. I had wanted to play Artillery with my kids but couldn’t find a version that matched the casual aesthetic of the original I grew up on, so I made one.

7. Notebook Artillery is a superchill game inspired heavily from the computer classic Artillery.

8. I had wanted to make a game from hand drawn art, inspired by artists like Dom2D ( ), and this felt like the perfect opportunity.

9. Infamously known by teachers as the scourge of attention -- countless students spending entire computer lab periods firing cannons at each other instead of writing English assignments.

10. The temptation too great, no child could refuse the siren's call of the game's accurate physics model and competitive nature.

11. The randomly generated stage layouts will change strategy from round to round, and wind strength has an effect on a cannonball's trajectory which players must account for.
