King & Balloon — About this game
Move a cannon beneath the balloons and shoot upward to stop them kidnapping the king. The cannon can return after being hit, but a balloon carrying the king off the screen costs a life. When he is caught, shift your aim to the balloon holding him and burst it before it escapes. Clearing the sky is useful, yet protecting the king remains the real priority. Balance attacks on the formation with urgent rescue shots near the ground.
