Cannons

Renting a Cannon

To use cannons at your estate, you'll need to rent them from your cattlelog. The current cost of the cannons are 1000 jellybeans. Each rental consists of six cannnons at your estate for a 48 hour period starting from when you collect them from your mailbox. You can also gift the cannons too.

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 control panel to aim. Press the CTRL key or use the mouse to click the red FIRE button on the control 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 another bumper or hit the ground. Different objects add points to your score, multiplied by how many objects you've hit. Your 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 your first object the points the object are worth 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. So if you hit a second object, your first and second object's points together will be multiplied by 3. So if you hit 2 objects, each worth 150, you would get 450 points 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 occasionally 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 Toon-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 for the ultimate toon-up. If you still have time on the timer after, get into your cannon and shoot at the target ball again!

Score Panel

The score panel is on the top part of the screen. It shows three basic score categories:

• High Score: The current high score along with the name of the Toon who made it.
• Your Best Score: The current high score you have made.
• Score: Your current score; the points you scored in your last shot. It resets once you get back into the cannon.
