Well, there are worse ways to learn about how gravitational constants affect trajectories.

This game makes Sky Skipper look like Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushuu. [it's unclear what was meant by this]

This is your standard Artillery game but it swaps out the hills for randomly generated sky scrapers, the guns for giant gorillas and the shells for atomic bananas. As you can see it is superior to more pedestrian artillery games in every respect.

The bananas put craters in any buildings they hit so if you're persistent you can skip trying to find the perfect trajectory and just slowly tunnel a hole through the skyline to hit your opponent, if you're a small child with a fairly limited grasp on what the numbers mean this strategy is essential.
