Interesting concept, though a bit confusing at first. It would help to have the square appear and move as you're firing the cannon. My best score was 28 :)

Fun little game, though confusing at first. Mouse didn't work for me in the web version using Chrome. Very cool concept, though. Could make for a fun mobile game.

High score: 20 after 7 tries. Really great presentation. Fun and fast. The intro takes a while, like if you wanted to jump back in at another date besides that really fantastic loved it!

Top score: 41! A clever little arcade game with a surprising amount of strategy packed in. The mechanics and graphics are simple but the game play is definitely interesting and leaves you wanting to come back for just one more round each time.
I would suggest adding perhaps different starting arrangements to vary the game play, otherwise you could find an optimal shot that would work every time.
Overall great entry!

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Clever, simple, easy to learn and difficult to master. The art style fit the game perfectly and so did the sounds. Would make a good mobile game, I'd definitely buy it.

Really fun, and an interesting concept. Perhaps needs something to give it a little variety, as after a while I just found myself with no room left and no option but to end the game. Very polished presentation for a compo entry though, and definitely something I'd like to see expanded further. Well done. :)

Love the style, but there's not much to the gameplay.
