Cannon Shot: Ball Aiming Game for Kids

Add game to your favorites

This is a side-view two dimensional cannon shot aiming game where players try to hit a bullseye on a moving target. Each of the 11 rounds allows players 10 balls to try to hit the target. This game is akin to a cross between the water cannon games at arcades and a skee ball machine.

• Adjust the angle of the cannon to shoot the ball where you believe it will hit the center of the target.
• Fire the cannon.
• Repeat the process until you have hit the target.

    • If you miss, adjust your shot as needed and try again.
• Strategy
  • Most levels of this game are quite easy with players being able to time a direct shot on the bullseye.
  • Prior shots which missed leaving a shooting trail which can be used for guidance is helpful.
  • Most levels in this game are easy enough that just about any kid could quickly beat them, but there are a couple challenging levels near the end of the game.
    • For level 8 I bounced a ball off the bottom stationary box to have it ricochet up to the bullseye. This was a bit challenging in part because of timing the shot to avoid the first moving box along with the moving target being in the correct location. Further complicating things is sometimes your shot moves slightly in location even if you do not move the canon, and if the shot is slightly off then bouncing off the first box can hit another box instead of having a clear path to the target.
    • Level 10 was a bit frustrating for me. I sort of spammed the game by rapidly firing a lot of balls slightly up from level until one worked. You can shoot multiple shots in a row by rapidly tapping the spacebar.
