Slide. Fire. Split them down to nothing. Cannon Clash is an arcade shooter about one small cannon and a screen full of bouncing numbered balls. Drag left and right to move along the floor - the cannon fires on its own. Every hit knocks a ball's number down, and big balls split into smaller ones as they break. Clear the board, and don't let one land on you. Easy to pick up with one finger, and a real test of timing and position by the later worlds. 20 WORLDS, 1,000 LEVELS Mountain Meadow, Desert Ruins, Frozen Peaks, Volcanic Lands, Enchanted Forest, Sky Kingdom, Ocean Depths and more, all the way to the Ultimate Realm. Each world holds 50 levels, and new worlds open as you earn stars. Each world raises the difficulty honestly: tougher balls, bigger waves, and star targets that reward a clean, fast clear. BUILD YOUR ARSENAL Collect up to 96 cannons, each with its own feel. Upgrade power, fire rate and bullet count, and max a cannon out to unlock the next one in its class. Every upgrade shows on the cannon, and a fully upgraded one turns gold. Bolt on attachments, pick a drone escort, and bring a loadout of single-use abilities into any level you like. EARN AS YOU PLAY Coins from every clear. Every tenth level and every world boss shows what its first clear pays before you start. Open a supply crate each day, fill three new orders every day, and earn diamonds from achievements. FREE TO PLAY A short ad can play between some levels and after some lost runs, and a small banner sits below the game. Watch an optional ad to continue a run, double a level's coins or today's crate, or pay for an upgrade when you're short of coins. Every level can be cleared, and every cannon unlocked, without watching one. OPTIONAL PURCHASES Diamond packs, a one-time starter pack with 300 diamonds, 20,000 coins and Admiral Paint (a cannon finish sold only in the pack), and No ads, which removes the breaks between levels and the banner. Optional ads you choose to watch stay available. PLAY OFFLINE Every level plays without a connection. No account needed, ever. OPTIONAL CLOUD SAVE Sign in only if you want your progress backed up and carried to a new device. Signing in never resets what you have already earned - your progress is merged, keeping the best of both devices. You can delete your account and its data from inside the game at any time. Built for short sessions and long runs alike. Good luck out there. Admiralty is an optional auto-renewing membership, monthly or yearly, that renews until canceled in your Apple Account settings.
