Summary

In "Cannon Ball" you take on the role of the Cannon Man, perched at the bottom of the screen and firing a single shot straight upward. The only movement you have is a left‑right slide, which makes positioning crucial as the ball bounces around the playfield. When your shot connects, the ball shatters into two or three smaller spheres, each of which behaves the same way until they reach the tiniest size and vanish. The cascade of splitting adds a frantic rhythm, forcing you to anticipate where the next fragments will ricochet. The core challenge is simple yet relentless: keep the ever‑splitting balls from touching you, because a single hit ends the round.
