Proper Cannoning

You are a cannon and enemy waves are coming!

Arrow keys to aim, space to charge a shot and release to shoot.

Sorry about the big pause after the first cannonball hits the ground. It's shader compilation 😬 It won't happen again in the play session.

Oof, this was such an unlucky Ludum Dare. Two of our team fell to the flu going around (me included) and couldn't contribute. In addition to the graphics, I did very little :/

The rest of our mostly remote team worked their butts off, but our vision was perhaps lacking in some clarity so the game is unfinished. We reminisced about ye olde turn-based multiplayer cannon games, but didn't want to do just a copy of that, we wanted real time arcade action! Sort of "war against the lemmings" 😆

Oh well, maybe next time :)

Unfortunately, I can't test this game, as Itch is asking me a password to reach the entry page 😅

password protected game?

Requires password :(

@lereveur, @mackain, @zabrat, thanks for letting us know! The page no longer requires a password, so now it's playable. (And hopefully worth the wait...)

Also, a small addition to the controls: you can fine-tune the cannon angle with the SHIFT pressed down while using the arrow keys. It's not _that_ big of a change, and we'll probably make the effect bigger in a post-jam build.

It’s actually really cool—you get used to the weapon quickly and get a feel for how to aim and shoot accurately.
Wishing the whole team a speedy recovery! 🤒
