BAKUDAMA is a slightly different action game. All you can do is tap the screen to create a blast. Use the blast to move the white ball and lead it to the goal. Various obstacles await you before you reach the goal. At first, you may not be able to lead the ball as you want. But don't give up. I'm sure that you will be able to control the ball freely. There are a total of 30 stages, which are easy at first, but as the stages progress, various gimmicks become more and more difficult. The last stage is a very difficult one, and it is said that the previous stages were for practice and this is where the real work begins.
