Cannon Man is a new game for the iOS and Android where you play a stuntman who shoots himself out of a cannonball, and your goal is to try to shoot as far as you can. You can earn coins, purchase upgrades, and use the terrain features of the levels to maximize your distance. Read on for some tips and tricks for Cannon Man!
Your main method of play is to try to stop the cannon facing straight by tapping when it’s completely vertical. If you shoot it off to the side, though, you can swipe to control the direction of your character as he falls. You’ll also change the way that he spins as he’s in the air, so you can land at a different angle.
Your two main upgrades are your cannon power and your offline income. The division between the two is simple. Upgrade your power and you will shoot out farther, faster, and higher with your cannon. If you upgrade the offline earnings, then you’ll earn more and more money while you are offline, not playing the game.
Various terrain features can help you get further, or they can hinder your chances. There are two things that you want to aim for. Aim for the boxes of TNT, because if you hit them, you’ll explode upwards and forwards, Also, aim for the trampolines and the platforms, because they will give you the same effect, and are bigger. Try to avoid the chairs and tables and other stuff, and if you aim at a stack of boxes, be sure to hit the TNT and not the brown boxes, as those will slow you down heavily.
Also, aim for the targets when you see them. They’re small, but worth it, as when you hit one, you’ll have a 2x bonus to the cash that you earn. Combine that with the 6x bonus that you get when you watch a video at the end of the level, and you can get a total 6x bonus overall.
For a chance at a really prodigious distance, swipe away from the middle of the level towards the cities. You can find huge and very effective trampolines in the middle of the cities, and if you hit one, you’ll jump extremely high, allowing you to almost double your distance. If you can hit multiples of these in one shot, then it will be very easy to set an almost unbreakable record.
