Cannon Shot Online

Aim high, dial the power back, and watch your cannonball ricochet off a wall into the last stubborn target.

Cannon Shot Online scratches that very specific itch of figuring out how to knock stuff down with a single projectile. Each level hands you a cannon and a handful of cannonballs, then dares you to topple every target without blasting through your whole supply. The joy is in the little adjustments: nudging the barrel up one degree, pulling the power slider just a touch less, and then holding your breath as the ball arcs, skims a wooden beam, and slams the last crate. I got stuck for a good ten minutes on a level where the target sat behind a thick wall. Turns out I needed to shoot the ground just in front of the wall so the cannonball bounced upward and clipped the target's underside. That 'oh, obviously' moment after way too many failed attempts is exactly why I kept coming back. The physics feel predictable enough to plan around, but just loose enough that the occasional wild surprise stays fun. The difficulty ramps up nicely without becoming cheap. Early levels teach you the basics, then walls, moving platforms, and gravity tricks pile on. It's the kind of game you open for five minutes and surface from half an hour later, still determined to three-star a level with a single shot.

Mouse or Touch

Break the support beams first and let gravity do the heavy lifting. Aim slightly higher than you think if the target sits behind cover — cannonballs drop fast. Try skipping your shot off flat ground for sneaky low-angle kills. Use your first shot as a test run to see how the level reacts, then adjust. If a level gives you three cannonballs, don't restart until you've used all of them — sometimes the second or third shot sets up an easy finish. Check the angle and power sliders carefully; a single tick difference can be the whole puzzle.
