Paper Cannon - Time Waster

Filed under: Fun, Games, Kids, Time-Wasters, Web

Paper Cannon is a fairly typical physics-based bomb-shooting cannon game. If you enjoy this sort of game, it has enough charm and challenge to be worth your time; if physics shooting games are not your cup of tea, you'll probably want to take a pass.

The goal in Paper Cannon is to kill all of the creepy one-eyed bunnies in each level with the fewest number of shots possible. Thankfully, unlike many similar games, there is no limit to the number of bombs you can shoot. While you might think that would mean the game is too easy, you'd be wrong; the game levels are built very cleverly, so that the number of bombs you shoot are not nearly as important as the placement of the shots.

Instead of using the position of the mouse to determine the strength of each shot, shot strength is determined by how long you hold down the mouse button. This makes it very hard to repeat exactly the same shot, and it plays havoc when you have moving barriers because the timing of your shot power often doesn't line up well with the barrier.

The game has that lazy and tired "paper" theme, where instead of creating full-color compelling graphics, the game elements look like sketches on graph paper. Luckily, the gameplay is strong enough to overcome this unfortunate choice by the developer.
