About the gameplay.
The game begins with the player choosing one of the 20 available upgrades. Shortly after, the game starts, and the player controls a small cannon positioned at the top of the castle using the keyboard arrows. This cannon continuously fires spheres that fall due to gravity. These spheres collide with various balloons rising on the screen. Each balloon has a number indicating how many hits it needs to burst. When a balloon reaches a certain height on the screen, the value marked on it is subtracted from the player's cannon life. There is a bar at the bottom of the screen that fills over time.
Every time the bar is fully charged, the player can choose another upgrade. The game ends when the cannon's life count reaches zero, or when the player survives against waves of enemies for 15 minutes. Additionally, there's an upgrade system where the more points the player accumulates during matches, the more upgrades they can choose at the beginning of the game, starting with 1 and going up to a maximum of 10.

Really fun until you realize there's no way to win without cheating. The game needs more upgrades/modifiers, because the last 6-7 minutes cannot be completed with what you're given.2 found this helpful
This game surprised me, it is simple but i had a lot of fun!2 found this helpful
A neat little defense game about fending off invaders ascending up the walls of your castle in balloons, with your primary weapons being cannonballs that bounce satisfyingly between them, and off flat surfaces, to inflict the required number of hits to destroy these enemies. Helped along by flying axes, flaming stars, and windmilling swords. And eventually, by lightning strikes, shields, and skulls that float upward to be captured by the player's cannon to wipe out the enemies onscreen. All of these things are acquired as upgrades along the way, by surviving long enough for the meter to fill up and the upgrade menu to appear. As the player survives longer and longer per run, accumulating score, a growing number of upgrades will be available right at the start of a new run. This caps at 10 initial upgrade points, so it's not possible to brute force a successful run using every upgrade in the game. But these bonus upgrades help a lot. One thing to note is that the "quick upgrade" option, which speeds up the player's progression, ultimately increases the challenge of surviving, as each upgrade increases the health of the enemy balloons. So taking "quick upgrade" is good for scoring …1 found this helpful
