Arcfall Artillery

Arcfall is a turn-based artillery game with 14 cute animal fighters on floating sky islands. Read the wind, tilt your barrel, hold to charge and let go. Every shot digs into the ground, so you can win by knocking the enemy out or by blasting the island away until they fall.

There's a lot of it: a two-minute tutorial, an 8-stage campaign ending in a boss fight, 5 challenge puzzles, quick matches against the computer or a friend on the same screen, and online rooms for up to six players, three a side. Wins and daily missions pay coins, which buy colours and hats for your fighters.

How it's made

The author submitted it as built with Claude Fable 5.2 from a one-line prompt: "Classic gunbound alike artillery game with 2D cute mobil character." It's a multi-file web app with illustrated character sprites, hosted on the author's own site, and online play connects browsers directly through PeerJS. We haven't been able to verify which model made it. The site doesn't allow embedding, so Play opens it in a new tab.

Objective

Knock out every enemy fighter, or dig the ground out from under them so they fall off the island. In a best-of match you spend gold between rounds.

Turn order

There are no fixed turns. Every action adds delay, and whoever has the least delay goes next. Light shots can earn you two turns in a row; supers and Dual cost the most. Each turn has a 30-second clock.

Shots

• 1 and 2 are your regular shots, 3 is your super, ready after three of your turns.
• Every fighter's shots behave differently. Read the line under the buttons.
• Wind changes every turn and bends every shot. The badge at the top shows direction and strength.

Items

Key	Item	Effect
Q	Dual	Fires twice
E	Teleport	Moves you to where the shot lands
R	Repair	Heals 260
T	Shield	Soaks 70% of damage until it has absorbed 300
G / V / F	Bridge, Decoy, Wind vane	From crates and the shop

The battlefield

• Walk into a parachute crate to take what's inside.
• Red barrels explode, mushrooms bounce shots, ice pillars block one hit.
• Weather: a tornado spins shots up and adds 20% damage (40% if the shot is on fire), rain makes the ground slippery, storms and meteors strike marked spots, fog hides the middle.

Fighters

Fighter	HP	What it does
Bulwark	1010	Armoured turtle-fox: thick shell, heavy acorns
Zephyr	900	Fast gliding squirrel; wind bends its shots twice as much
Delver	1000	Mole that eats the ground out from under you
Volt	950	Calls lightning down where its shot lands
Glacier	940	Ice penguin; chilled fighters wait longer for their turn
Ricochet	1160	Frog whose shots bounce before they blow
Vortex	1110	Octopus with a gravity orb that throws fighters around
Leech	860	Sprout that drains health and can patch up friends
Cinder	900	Fire salamander that leaves the ground burning
Tidal	1040	Otter with a water cannon; shoves fighters, puts out fires
Quill	1100	Porcupine: fans of spines up close, traps on the ground
Mason	920	Beaver that builds ground instead of removing it
Mirage	1050	Chameleon that swaps places and disappears
Comet	1000	Owl that drops star seeds; rewards timing and high lobs

Tips

• Light shots buy tempo. Two cheap hits in a row often beat one heavy one.
• The dashed line and the dark marker on the power bar show your last shot. Adjust from there instead of guessing.
• Aim at the ground under an enemy near the edge: a fall finishes them at any health.
• In 2 v 2 your own shots can hurt your teammate.
