  • Basics
    • This is a cannon shooting inspired game where you drag across the screen to fire balls into holder containers.
      • Your shots can go directly into the containers, or the balls can bounce off of other platforms and objects.
      • Each ball must land in a container which matches its color.
    • Features
      • As you progress through the game it gets more challenging. Added features include:
        • multiple balls to shoot
        • shooting multiple different ball colors
        • sliding platforms that block your path
        • stacks of boxes which block your path
        • falling boxes that knock your ball off course
        • spinning and moving platforms which can hit your balls
  • Levels
    • This game has 32 stages which are unlocked sequentially.
      • You can go back and replay previously beat levels at any time.
    • Winning vs losing
      • You beat a level by sinking each ball into a holder cup of the same color.
      • You can’t actually lose in this game, as if you lose a ball you will simply be given another shot.
      • If you take many shots to beat a level you will score zero stars on the level, and then the level complete screen will tell you how many shots you need to complete the level in to earn at least one star.
  • Tips
    • Aiming
      • Like shooting a basketball it is best to use more arc than needed when possible so your ball enters the container more perpendicularly.
      • If a level has multiple balls you can keep trying to do the hardest shot first & restart the level if you make an error.
    • Boxes
      • If you are playing a stage with falling boxes time your shots so they release just after the falling boxes pass.
      • Where there is a stack of boxes in your way sometimes it is best to shoot a full force shot through the stack to break it down so your next shot is clean.
      • If your shot is required to bounce be sure to angle it to not hit the edges of platforms that can throw off your shot angle.
    • Moving platforms & gates
      • Some shots have to get past multiple moving platforms, falling boxes, and / or gates.
      • When your shot has to interact with multiple elements time it so that the shot is in the correct position along each portion of the journey.
      • If you are bouncing the ball on a platform near a gate that opens and closes be sure to give the shot enough arc that the ball can bounce over a partially closed gate.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like physics puzzle games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
