Knock the other characters offscreen and avoid getting knocked off yourself, you have 3 lives and the last to survive wins.
You can pick up the cannon weapons that spawn on the level, they have 1 shot.
Terrain is destructible by cannonballs and punching.

Controls:
A and D to move.
Spacebar to jump.
Left click to punch/fire weapon.
Press enter to start the game.
Aim the cannon with the mouse.

I was going for smash bros. crossed with worms, it needs a little more work but I think the idea has potential.
The AI was wayyy harder than I thought it would be so it's a bit wonky, I spent so long on it that I didn't have time for sounds or any nice polish.

I know the cannon/punch isn't very unconventional, the unconventional weapon part was going to be in lots of weird weapons...that I didn't have time to add :P

The game runs at very low fps and therefor is hard to play. Good job on making the level destructible in such a low amount of time. It reminds me of worms but without turns a little more mayhem :)

Too far zoomed out to tell what was going on. It was very fun to smash through the land to attack the bad guys.

Level being destructible is nice.

Fun, but there was some glitchy physics.

Quite an interesting mechanic, might make for a nice party game.

Great idea! At first I was lost, just punching a hole in the rock to hide, but then I got the cannon and everything changed. It needs a little more polish on graphics to avoid problems with zoom, in UI and jumps, but it was quite fun. Good work.

Neat little game, the water effects and destructible terrain reminded me a lot of Worms. Nice work! :D

Funny little game, it's entertaining! Controlling the guy and firing the cannons is not that easy (ok, maybe I'm just really bad at this game :D).

Thanks for the comments guys! :)

I like the idea, but the execution needs some work.

The destructible terrain and the water effect are great, and brawling to punch/cannon all the enemies offstage should be really fun. Unfortunately everything was so small! It's too difficult to aim and control the character. The jump is very floaty, and the slow "falcon punch" is almost impossible to land on the speedy enemies.

So it needs some balancing for sure, but there's potential behind it all.
