Also, when the ships go to the top of the screen, you can't reach them with your cannon ball?)"},{"author_name":"john_conder9","author_uid":"12682","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 7:22am","epoch":1387264620,"text":"Simple game, at level 4 I ran off screen accidentally and shot the ball and it disappeared forever. Even if I died and respawned I did not have my ball back. :( But, fun little game. Maybe too slow, it was really repetitive having to use so many hits to kill things."},{"author_name":"JaymeeMak","author_uid":"30729","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 7:28am","epoch":1387264980,"text":"The game froze my browser :("},{"author_name":"biscuitdough","author_uid":"4177","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 7:31am","epoch":1387265160,"text":"Loved it, great twist on an extremely simple concept."},{"author_name":"evilseanbot","author_uid":"7902","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 7:33am","epoch":1387265280,"text":"Engaging enough to play all the way through, and I haven't done that with too many entries yet."},{"author_name":"Chinchilla","author_uid":"5017","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 8:52am","epoch":1387270020,"text":"Oooooh....

Needless to say it was a lot easier the second time. I like the cannonball physics.

Old-timey airships in bubbles are very enjoyable.
