    • lost: you run out of cannon balls or you knock one of your soldiers to the ground

  • If you lose a level you will see the first two buttons on the overlay.
• Strategy
  • Difficulty & scoring
    • Early levels in this game are easy but the difficulty level increases significantly as you progress through the game.
    • You score points based on how many enemies you knock over and how many blocks you destroy. Your game score is cumulative across levels. If you repeatedly play a level then each play through adds to your cumulative score.
    • You must knock all enemies on a level to the ground to move on to the subsequent stage of the game.
  • Cannonballs
    • The number of cannonballs remaining is shown next to the pause button in the upper left portion of the screen.
    • If you waste cannonballs early in the level and are unlikely to beat it then you can restart the level again by going back to the menu, or fire your remaining balls working on a part of the level that is hard to practice it.
  • Oops!
    • Be aware that the cannonball can ricochet off of a soldier’s helmet then explode when it hits something else.
    • Competing soldiers and other battlefield elements can bump into your soldier and knock them over.
  • Strategies for difficult levels
    • Players get infinite continues, so there is no harm in experimenting with different strategies if you are struggling with a particular part of a level.
    • If you are struggling with a hard part of a level and there is another part of the level which is easy then it could make sense to do the easy part first so that when you finally get the hard part you do not get frustrated by missing the easy part.
    • In some cases you may need to hit the soldier, something that will hit into the soldier, or even hit the plank a soldier is standing on in order to knock him over without hitting your soldiers.
    • If there is a block directly behind a soldier then hitting that soldier head on may have them lean on the block behind them instead of falling over.
    • In some cases it makes sense to use dramatically different angles and shot strengths to approach enemies from different perspectives.
      • The prior shot cannonball leaves a tracer of its path, so if you can remember how intense your color was when you shot you can use the prior shot to help guide subsequent shots.
      • You can also use the game’s background image to remember the approximate position of your mouse or finger on prior shots.
