CANNON Reviews

This game was relatively fun. The puzzles weren't seeming to be very complex but were decently enjoyable for unwinding after a stressful day. [strike]I can't recommend this game though because level 34 is broken; preventing further progress.[/strike] UPDATE: the game was actually updated and I can now make it to level 36 until a broken level so maybe the game is still being worked on. Holding out hope.

Very fun.... until you get to one of the MANY broken levels. as of me writing this level 31 is broken and I cannot progress. Dev has released updates to fix bugs and optimize the game, but it seems the game needed more tlc before it had been released

Some of the levels are straight up bug. And the you can't go to the next level. The game itself is a cool concept, by the way.

This game is a beautiful concept. I got through the first 47 levels and then got stuck on level 48 for a while. I switched computers and eventually downloaded this game again much later after an update and one of the levels was bugged (I don't remember which one) Unfortunately, this game isn't complete-able. I so wish it was because this is the kind of game I love figuring out.

Nope. Has a reasonable idea (though not original) in deciding which cannon to shoot first, has a few mechanics introduced along the way, nothing interesting. It is not challenging as you can't really fail, you can just keep mashing away the cannons until it is solved, and you are not punished for missing the goal or hitting walls. And eventually the levels just become more of the same instead of mind bending calculations.

Don't waste your dollar. This game has been broken since the last update 8 weeks ago. Even if they do patch it, it is still not worth 1 dollar.

After the awesome "destroy" series, this one is just boring... 'Only' 10 levels in, so things may change, but currently, I am pretty much disappointed. Cannons just refill, so you can't do anything wrong. Only being able to fire a single cannon at a time, when several paths are clear just makes it feel slow an tedious. I don't really want to turn people off of this game, so I won't make the review a negative one, (Valve please add some sort of neutral option please!) just be aware that this is (imho) not a puzzler, you can 'solve' the levels by brute-force clicking...

AVOID! Level 31 is bugged and the remaining levels up to 50 can't be played. The developer isn't responding to any feedback.

This game just isn't fun. First, cannons can be used infinite times. No punishments for using the wrong order, so pretty much random clicking can beat a level. There is also the issue of taking too long, could we just have lower values? Also level 47 is glitched and you can't beat it. New mechanics added in later levels just mean more clicking as well. This isn't a good game, the best part is that it costs less than a dollar.

[h1]Casual puzzle game about shooting cannons, sometimes in the right order[/h1] On the fence here: this is a flawed, casual puzzler. Your task: click cannons to make them shoot the targets. Only one cannon can be interacted with at the time, so it takes several seconds before you can shoot another one. First, shots just make tunnels with walls disappear (if the target is shot as well) and thus make way for other cannons. Later, you get to rotate bullet deflectors and tunnels to make your shots reach the targets. Never during shooting though, and there's infinite ammo, i.e. infinite retries. Only one or two levels require a specific order and it's unclear whether that's by design or not. Eventually, (almost) every level can be completed by clicking stuff until it works. The puzzle is to do it fast enough not to fall asleep in the process; I am only partially kidding. [h1]Technical stuff[/h1] Volume sliders for the mystifying (but oddly monotonous) music and sounds exist separately. There's no windowed/fullscreen switching, though the regular alt+enter works for transporting the window from screen to another monitor. There are some bugs: - If you shoot a cannon and direct the bullets back to your cannon, it will shoot perpetually as the bullets fill the cannon while it tries to empty itself. This causes a soft-lock that requires a level restart to continue. - To remove walls, a constant flow of bullets is required from the cannon to the target. Level 50 (and possibly 47) has such long bullet paths that their stream fails to remove the walls they pass through. Failing that, you'll need to restart the level and try again. [h1]Conclusions[/h1] It's not a bad game, nor is it expensive. Yet it's not a very fun game either. It can certainly waste a bit of time, taking me some 90 minutes to complete, plus minus 15 min (hard to estimate exactly because of the wall bug in level 50 that kept me in for half a dozen tries). At least all achievement worked in the end (but the game froze with painful broken sounds at the ending screen with typos, shown after lvl 50). It could swing either way but with the lack of polish I am going with Not Recommended. [url=http://store.steampowered.com/curator/9997062/]~Twistorian Curator~[/url]
