Renting a Cannon
To use cannons at your estate, you'll need to rent them from your cattlelog. Each rental consists of six cannnons appearing at your estate for a 48 hour period starting from when you collect them from your mailbox.
Using A Cannon
If you want to use a cannon, walk up to a cannon and use the arrow keys or use the mouse to click the arrows on the cannon panel to aim. Press the CTRL key or use the mouse to click the 'fire' button on the cannon panel to fire your toon out of the cannon.
Pinball Mode
In Pinball mode, points are awarded just for fun. Objects like clouds, house roofs, the sky and estate barriers all act as bumpers. After you lauch your toon out of the cannon and hit one of the bumpers, your toon will bounce off and continue to fly until they hit the ground. Different objects add points to your score, multiplied by how many objects you've hit. The highest score and your current high score will be displayed on a panel at the top of the screen.
Cannon Bumper = 100 points Low Bumper clouds = 50 points Medium Bumper clouds = 200 points High Bumper clouds = 250 points Toon-up Target = 350 points House Roof = 100 points House Walls = 50 points Fence = 25 points Bridge = 100 points
You can also add your own blue Bumper cloud at any point during your flight by pressing the INSERT key. That way, the next time you shoot with the same cannon along the same path, you'll be able to get into some more pinball action!
