Hilltop Hurlers
Hilltop Hurlers is a turn-based artillery game that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for two players on one device, or one player against a bot.
Take turns lobbing snowballs over a windy hill at the other fort, dragging back to set angle and power. Bursts carve the snow, but fresh snow falls between turns and refills the craters, so cover only lasts a turn or two. Win two of three rounds; beating bot levels unlocks the Iceball, Slush bomb and Triple shots.
How to play
- Drag back and let go to throwOn a touch screen: Drag back and lift your finger to throw
- Watch the wind: the flag on the hill shows which way it blows
- Snow fills craters between turns, so a dug hole is only short-lived cover
The game shows these steps as you play, the first time.
Controls
- Drag back and let go to throw
- ← → angle, ↑ ↓ power, Space throws, 1–4 shots
- Esc pauses
Tips
- The Iceball feels only half the wind and does the most damage, 46 points, but its burst is small; save its two uses for a clear line.
- Snow refills 30 per cent of a crater's missing depth each turn, up to 6 units, so a deep Slush bomb hole lasts longer than a shallow one.
- After twelve throws each, a blizzard doubles every burst, so a round that has dragged on ends quickly once the banner appears.
How do I unlock the other shots?
Beating bot level 1 unlocks the Iceball, level 2 the Slush bomb and level 3 the Triple, which splits in three at the top of its arc. Each is limited per round: two Iceballs, two Slush bombs, one Triple. In two-player mode every shot is already unlocked for both players.
How strong does the wind get?
The wind runs from minus 8 to 8, shifts a little after every turn, and is shown by the flag, an arrow and a number on the hilltop. The short dotted arc previews only the start of a throw; the wind bends the rest. Each turn gives you 20 seconds to throw.
