Notebook Artillery vs Flip Rock

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.

Remember turning over a rock just to see what was underneath? Flip Rock brings that little thrill to your pocket, one rock a day. Each day you get a single flip. Tap the rock, lift it, and see what you uncovered. It might be a beetle, a snail, a glowing firefly, an ancient fossil, or a plain pebble. Once in a while it's nothing but damp dirt. Whatever turns up goes into your field guide, and every entry teaches you something true about the real creature behind it. That's the whole game. No countdown timers, no streaks to keep alive, no pressure to come back. Just one small, calm moment of curiosity a day, and a collection that fills in over weeks and months. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER • 52 specimens to find: bugs, critters, fossils, rocks, and a few surprises • Real species with real names, like the monarch butterfly, woolly bear, luna moth, and lady beetle • A true, kid-friendly fact about each one: where it lives, what it does, why it matters • Common finds most days, with rare and very rare discoveries to chase over time A DAILY RITUAL, NOT A TIME SINK • One flip per day. Come back tomorrow for the next. • It takes a few seconds. The fun is the surprise and watching the guide fill up. • Warm pixel art in a vintage natural-history style GENTLE BY DESIGN • Made for curious kids and the grown-ups flipping along with them • No leaderboards or social pressure, only a quiet daily discovery • You, a rock, and whatever is hiding under it MORE TO COME • The field guide will keep growing, with new creatures added in future updates • Whatever you find now stays in your collection as it expands Turn one over. You never know what's under there.
