Snoozle is an addictive puzzle game that is easy to learn but difficult to master! Use the touchscreen to flick the balls to the top of the screen. Match 3 of the same color to clear them from the screen. Clear 10 to advance to the next level. Each new level adds a new colored ball. When you clear a ball that has others attached to it, they drop away. Drop 10 to earn a swap - double-tap to change the current ball to whatever color you need! Some reviews: Since the app store opened, I've been looking for a game like Snood but without the unnecessary complexity and file size of Bubble Bash. This is it. Simply figure out where you want the ball to go and flick your finger to launch it up the screen. Line up three in a row of the same color and they clear. Easy and fun. - kcjazzlark This game is so much fun to waste time and when your bored - Wggkfwc Funnest game out right now - Gossennator Like bouncy color-coded crack - jennachristine

Apple called it "sketchy — in a good way." Multiple-time Game of the Day in 80+ countries. Nintendo Force gave it 8.5/10. And it started as a doodle. Once upon a time in a middle school computer lab, a student ignored every assignment for an entire semester to fire cannons at a friend. That student grew up, spent 20 years making games professionally, and eventually decided the world needed a proper love letter to that wasted time. This is it. Notebook Artillery is a hand-drawn artillery game inspired by the classic Mac game that got confiscated off school computers everywhere. Set your angle. Load your powder. Fire. Account for the wind. Try not to hit your own tower. Play your way: Solo target practice — break floating targets across randomly generated stages VS CPU — take on a computer opponent Local multiplayer — challenge someone in the same room What makes it feel different: Every frame hand-drawn in Procreate — ruled lines, coil binding, pencil textures, the whole notebook aesthetic Trees splinter. Towers explode. Cannonballs collide mid-air. Wind changes everything. Read the flag. Use your shot trails. Unlock stickers by pulling off feats — first-shot eliminations, mid-air collisions, and yes, accidentally destroying your own tower Randomly generated stages mean no two games play the same Made by one person, with audio by Kevin Samuels and Switch/console ports by PolyCrunch Games. No AI tools were used in making this game. All art hand-drawn. Developed in GameMaker Studio.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Snoozle at Free against Notebook Artillery's $0.99. Snoozle also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Notebook Artillery's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 66 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
