I made this while on a beach in San Diego. You may thank my teacher for this. Figuring out the maths for the cannon was pretty fun though. Just use the arrow keys and space bar to enjoy a physics simulation of a goose firing out of a cannon. The sauce is in the jar file. Just open it up with 7-zip or your favourite file explorer that can handle viewing the contents of jar files.
OVERALL: I played for about a minute. For a compo game, the production values were pretty low. It's a good starting game if you're new to development, though. (2 stars).
INNOVATION: Angry Birds minus destruction. (1 star).
FUN: I happen to know that, in a frictionless environment, the highest power at 45 degrees will produce the longest range. I was hoping for some side scrolling when I launched the goose, but it just landed about a few meters away... (1 star).
THEME: It is very unconventional to use a goose as ammunition for your cannon. Technically, ammunition isn't a weapon, but I let that slide. (5 stars).
GRAPHICS: Sorry for being so brutal, but I would be hard pressed to find a way to make the graphics worse. Maybe if they started flash in eye melting colors, that would be worse. (1 star).
HUMOR: Har har, I shot a goose out of a cannon. (2 stars).
MOOD: There was a mood? (1 star).

I would just like to mention that you are expected to also include the source code if you're in the compo.
