game is polished, but i dont really feel like it matches the theme, if instead of shooting people you shot zombies the game would be the same. you know what I mean? enjoyed it though

Developer

Fair enough, my take was simple if humans used to shoot canon balls, why not shoot humans out of canons. Thanks for playing!

Great game, wish it wasn't phone aspect ratio! Art was well-made and sounds were used well, I was able to figure it out pretty quickly.

So bizarre, but I enjoyed

You should add a description to your page with some basic instructions :)

Got the basics of it after playing around a bit, nice animations but would be nice to have some indicator to let you know a person is about to explode (so you can try to maneuver around). Nice work!

Added a description and thanks for playing the game.

It looks great, the stretch and squash on the cannon with the huge plume of fire make it fun to shoot. It doesn't feel like there is a lot of strategy to the game and I'm unsure how to play better. Despite that I feel very proud of my high score of 45. I'd like to see more elements indicating how I'm doing like an indication of how long before the humans have before the explode, I think that would add more decision making opportunities. I also liked the UI you've created, the high score tracker makes it all the more tempting to have one more go to try and beat your best score.

Good Job!

Unfortunately I am not sure what I have to do. I get that I have to shoot, but what do I do afterwards?

Developer

You have to shoot the human and collect his body parts to get a high score I updated the description with the same.

Aha, I will have to give it another try.
