Developer's Game Description

The Cannon was developed during my spare time as university and was released shortly after I graduated.  It's my first complete game and I was really pleased about the reviews it received, but it sold poorly, even for an XBLIG.

Reviews from the XBLIG version of the game:

Indie Game Chick, previously in the top 10 of the overall leaderboard: "Overall, I really liked The Cannon a lot.  It’s got a wonderful combination of strategic action mixed with some really funny British humor" 

XboxHornet, [8/10]:"If this game was given a face lift with better art, different stages with settings in them and more music, I could see this on Xbox Arcade."

DealSpwn, Second in indie picks for the week: "The Cannon delivers fun and firepower in equal measure. If blowing up hordes of ninjas and pirates with a massive gun turret doesn't sound like your cup of tea, I'd recommend seeking immediate medical attention."

While The Cannon on XBLIG doesn't have proper achievements or leaderboards, it does have local multiplayer, both co-operative and competitive, so if that sounds like your cup of tea, then go check it out! It's also only 80 points! ($1)
