Cannon Strike

Load the cannon, angle for the perfect arc, and blast every target into splinters — how few shots can you clear the board with?

Cannon Strike plops you behind a cannon with a pile of cannonballs and a screen full of stuff that needs to stop existing. You don't drag to aim; the cannon swings on its own, and you just click when the angle looks right. That timing twist is what makes it tick. I kept misjudging the bounce physics and watching cannonballs sail uselessly past their target, then cursing the empty space where the ball used to be. The real pull is chain reactions. Hit a wooden block just right and it topples into a domino run that takes out half the level for free. Miss and you burn a shot and watch the structure mock you. There's a score multiplier for leftover cannonballs, and suddenly every shot matters. I found myself restarting levels just to shave one ball off my count — that's where the obsession lives. It's simple enough to open during a five-minute break, but later levels stack moving targets and awkward angles, so you'll need genuine timing, not just brute force. The sound design lands with a satisfying thud. If you like Angry Birds but want less flinging and more firing, Cannon Strike scratches that itch without overstaying its welcome.

Desktop: Mouse to shoot. Phone: Touch to shoot.

Wait for the cannon's sway to line up with your target before firing — a split second early or late overshoots. Try hitting the lowest block in a stack; the collapse often clears more than a direct shot. Don't waste shots on the first thing you see. Scan the level for a structural weak point that triggers a chain. Keep at least one cannonball in reserve if a level has moving targets; you'll need it for the final moving piece. Restart instantly if your first shot is a dud. The reset is fast, and you'll memorize the layout quicker.
