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
Before you hit a bumper object, your multiplier starts with 1, as soon as you hit an object the points the object are multiplied by 2. So if the first object you hit was a cloud, which is worth 50 points, you would get 100 due to the x2 multiplier when you hit your first object for that launch.
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!
Toon-up Mode
While playing with the cannons, a timer will randomly appear next the the cannon control panel. This is Toon-up mode! Try to aim your cannon at the red ball with targets on it. The more you hit it, the more the toon up! It might be good to have a couple friends over because the more toons, the more toon-up. Try having all the toons aim for the red target ball when Ton-up mode comes on, but don't shoot. Wait until the next Toon-up round. Once the next Toon-up round begins, have all the toons fire at the target ball.
