Maybe some kind of story or image at the bottom would make it more obvious that you shouldn't let the monsters there. I originally thought I just had to survive.

I tried so many different tactics\n\n1. Aim only horizontally\n2. Aim only vertically\n3. Spam the bottom row until I can't then go up and alternative between last 3 row\n4. Chase after enemy  before they spam\n\nMy highest is still only 24. I don't die due to them killing me. I usually die because I didn't see that I am going to die =\/ \n\nNice game :D","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":785110,"author_name":"bitdecay","author_uid":"bitdecay","epoch":1649137716,"text":"I have always been drawn to the idea of simultaneous turn-based games. This one is simple, clean, and fun to play.\nIt took me a second to figure out how the cannonballs work, exactly. It also wasn't obvious how I was dying at first (I might be dumb).\n\nBut once I got the hang of it, I managed to get up to 30 before getting destroyed.
