How to play Cannon Duel
- Each player owns a castle with a cannon. The aim sweeps up and down on its own.
- Press your key to lock the aim.
- Hold your key to charge. The longer you hold, the harder the cannonball flies.
- Let go to fire. Watch the wind, because it pushes the ball sideways.
- Knock down the other castles brick by brick. Do not hit your own walls. The last castle standing wins.
Tips to win
- Check the wind arrow before every shot and aim a little into it.
- Do not charge to the maximum every time. A medium shot is often more accurate.
- Aim at the player who is closest to winning, not just the nearest castle.
