The conveyor is ready, the guns are in standby mode. Tap to send the cannon onto the conveyor so that it rains balls on the pixel cubes of its color. The number above the cannon is its ammunition: the number of hits. If the ammunition runs out, she will leave the stage; if not, she will move to one of the 5 waiting slots, and when pressed again, she will go back to the conveyor to fire again.
