Artillery! Destroy Fortress!
Artillery! Destroy Fortress! puts you behind the wheel of a heavy gun, where every shot demands a mix of geometry and foresight. The battlefield is a series of rugged terrains with peaks and valleys, and your opponent's fortifications sit just out of easy reach. You’ll need to account for the arc of your shell, the strength of your push, and the way the wind can bend its course. It’s a quiet, methodical duel where patience often beats raw force, and one well-placed hit can turn the tide. As you progress, the landscapes grow more twisted, and the enemy’s defenses become sturdier. You’ll learn to read the ground, spot weak points, and adjust your aim with each attempt. The game strips away flashy distractions and focuses on the pure satisfaction of a successful strike. Whether you’re a newcomer to lobbing explosives or a seasoned tactician, there’s a steady rhythm to master. Each round is a fresh puzzle, and your only tools are a cannon, a target, and your own judgment.
