Shoot The Cannon

Line up the cannon, pick a spot, and fire - that's the whole opening move in Shoot The Cannon. You've got a limited stack of cannonballs and a wall of blocks that isn't going to fall down just because you're shooting at it. Every shot has to count.

The trick is reading the structure before you pull the trigger. Hit a block dead center and it might barely wobble. Hit the right support underneath and the whole thing comes crashing down in one satisfying collapse. This is a Physics games game at heart, so gravity and momentum do a lot of the work once you find the weak point.

It's rendered in 3D and it rewards patience over spam-clicking. Waste your cannonballs firing blindly and you'll run dry before the blocks do. Line up the shot, commit, and watch the tower earn its fall.

If you want more targets in your crosshairs after this, the wider Shooting games shelf has plenty to keep the streak going.

Topple every block on the stage using only the cannonballs you're given. Run out before the blocks are down and the round's over, so each shot needs a reason behind it.

Aim your cannon at the structure and shoot at the points that will do the most damage - usually the joints and supports holding everything up, not just the biggest block in view.

Take a second before firing. Look at how the blocks are stacked, guess where a hit will cause a chain reaction, and save your limited ammo for shots that actually bring something down.
