There is an order. \r1.Click Cannon to spawn.\r2. Move up to Aim.\r3. Click again to lock Aim.\r4. Click a bomb to send it to the cannon. \r5.

The cannon tile placement is awkward. The cannons are hard to aim. Even when you aim well the bombs just bounce off. I was too frustrated to even try to get past the first level.\r\rGreat art though. I think this could be made into a great game... it's just not there yet."},{"author_name":"Travis Irby","author_uid":"22035","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 7:29am","epoch":1377588240,"text":"Haha this is hilarious.

Guess I better update the aiming mechanic... I know the sweet spots for aiming, so it is easy for me.\r\rCurrently to aim you should really only move the mouse up or down to aim after clicking. If you move left or right it has no affect. \r\rTo me this made the mechanic more simple. But perhaps it is expected that you should move the mouse left and right?"},{"author_name":"Broxxar","author_uid":"22132","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 8:34pm","epoch":1377635340,"text":"Not the most intuitive game, but still interesting."},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 8:51pm","epoch":1377636360,"text":"I love the look of the cupcakes!

My only gripe is that I can't tell what layer the cupcakes are on . Maybe you can draw a grid for reference so that I don't misplace my cannons. Othewise. Your animations and style are great.

One thing you may consider is having a little extra feedback for the states of the cannon (showing which ones can be clicked, when they are in the aim state, and which one the next bomb will go to, etc.) It may help make for a smoother experience.
