More about this game
Take command of a toy cannon and test your aim across five distinct levels, from Rookie Range to Gale Command. Your goal is to hit wooden targets and score enough points to pass each stage before running out of limited shots. You must adjust your angle and power while accounting for wind strength that pushes projectiles off course. As you progress, targets begin to move and the wind shifts direction dynamically. A run ends when you reach the score goal or deplete your ammo.
Tips
- A perfect bullseye awards 100 points, while hitting the outer rings gives 70, 40, or 10 points depending on the distance from the center.
- Hitting targets consecutively builds a combo multiplier, adding 10 extra points per hit after the first. Missing a target resets your combo to zero.
- Pay close attention to the wind arrow and text; a wind strength of 5 requires significant aiming compensation to the opposite side of the target.
Questions
How do I get a higher score?
Aim for the dead center of the target to get a 100-point bullseye. Hitting targets in a row also builds a combo that adds 10 extra points to each successful consecutive shot.
Why did my shot miss the target?
The wind pushes your projectile left or right, and gravity pulls it down. You must look at the wind indicator and aim slightly against the wind and above the target to hit your mark.
How many levels are in the game?
There are five levels, starting with Rookie Range and ending with Gale Command. You get between 3 and 6 shots per level. The wind gets stronger and targets start moving in the later stages.
