More about this game
Your goal is to knock down all the scrap metal structures using a limited supply of cannonballs. You start with exactly 30 balls to clear five increasingly complex yards, from the simple Tin Triangle to the massive Grand Finale. The core loop involves finding structural weak points to maximize the impact of every shot. Difficulty rises as structures incorporate heavier crates and taller bottle towers. A run ends in victory if you clear all five yards, or in defeat if you run out of balls before the platform is empty.
Tips
- Aim for the bottom of the stacks to cause the whole structure to tumble down. Hitting the lowest crates often destabilizes the entire tower above.
- Watch how the pieces fall; a good shot can trigger a chain reaction. Knocking down four pieces quickly triggers a CHAIN REACTION for bonus points.
- You only have 30 balls for all five yards. Don't waste them on single pieces if you can avoid it, because you earn 25 bonus points for every ball saved.
Questions
How many levels are there?
There are five yards to clear: Tin Triangle, Bottle Bank, Bridge Works, Leaning Towers, and Grand Finale. Each yard features heavier crates and taller bottle towers that require more strategic aiming to knock down completely.
How do I get a higher score?
You earn 100 points for every piece knocked down. Triggering chain reactions gives you up to 100 bonus points per piece. You also get a 25-point bonus for every ball you have left at the end of the game.
What happens if I run out of balls?
If you run out of balls before clearing the yard, the game ends. You will have to start over from the first yard with a fresh set of 30 balls to try and beat your personal best score.
