Step right up! The shooting gallery is open, and every target on the belt is yours to knock down. Carnival Ball Shooter is a color puzzle set in a fairground booth. Rows of toy cannons wait at the bottom of the screen. Colorful targets ride past on a looping belt at the top. Tap a cannon to roll it up to the firing line, and it fires a stream of balls at every target that shares its color. HOW A ROUND WORKS • Each cannon carries a limited number of shots and only hits targets of its own color. • The firing line has four spots, and a fifth spot unlocks early on. A cannon stays in its spot until it runs out of shots. • Only the front cannons can move. Sending one out frees the cannons behind it. • Clear the belt to win. Fill every spot with cannons that have nothing left to hit, and the booth closes. So the question is never just "which color?" It is "which cannon first, and what does that open up?" NEW SURPRISES AS YOU PLAY • Mystery cannons keep their color hidden until they are uncovered. • Dispensers feed fresh cannons into the grid, one after another. • Practice dummies are tough and need several hits to pop. • Frozen cannons have to thaw before they can roll out. • Mailboxes open the color barriers that block your cannons. Each new piece gets its own short introduction, so you always know what you are dealing with before the next one shows up. FEATURES • 50 hand-made levels with special Hard and Boss stages • A carnival level map that tracks your progress • One-finger play: tap a cannon, watch it work • No timer, so you can stop and think • Separate switches for sound, music and vibration • Short rounds that fit a coffee break Clear the belt, collect your prize coins, and see what the next booth has waiting.
