Heavy Artillery

Heavy Artillery drops you onto a pixelated warzone where your only objective is to outsmart and outgun a rival gunner. Each round, you adjust the launch angle and blast force of your cannon, aiming to land a direct hit on the enemy's position while accounting for gravity, wind, and terrain. It's a pure test of geometry and foresight, with every shot bringing you closer to victory or defeat. The game strips away all distractions, offering a straightforward but deeply entertaining duel that keeps you coming back for another round. The minimalist visuals focus your attention on the numbers and the trajectory arc, making each successful bombardment feel genuinely rewarding. Whether you have a minute or an hour, the quick pacing and escalating tension make it an ideal pick for a brief gaming session.

What is Heavy Artillery

Take control of a field gun and engage in a duel of calculation and nerve. Heavy Artillery is a classic two-player-style battle that demands sharp eyes and a steady hand.

How to Play

Point your cannon by adjusting the angle and setting the launch power, then fire and see where your shell lands. After the shot, the turn passes to your opponent, and you alternate until one of you is blown to bits.

Tips for Playing

  • Start with a medium angle and moderate power to get a feel for the projectile's arc.
  • Pay close attention to the terrain's slope; shells can bounce or roll after impact.
  • If the wind is strong, compensate by aiming into the wind rather than fighting it.
  • Use your first few shots to test the distance and adjust your aim incrementally.
  • Don't always go for maximum power; a well-placed medium shot can be more effective.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the goal of Heavy Artillery?

The goal is to destroy the enemy cannon before they destroy yours by landing direct hits or causing splash damage.

How does the turn-based system work?

You and your opponent alternate turns. On your turn, you set your shot parameters and fire, then wait for the computer or human rival to respond.

Yes, the game features a local multiplayer mode where two players take turns using the same keyboard or screen.

Is Heavy Artillery pay-to-win or does it require purchases?

No, the game is fully playable without any microtransactions. All gameplay elements are available from the start.

What happens if my shell hits the ground instead of the enemy?

The shell will explode on impact, potentially damaging the enemy if they are within the blast radius, but it won't be as effective as a direct hit.

How do I improve my aiming accuracy?

Practice makes perfect. Start by observing how different angles and power levels affect the trajectory, and account for wind and terrain height.
