I'm wondering if anyone has downloaded this game? Since Puzzloop is a rip off I was searching for alternatives and stumbled upon this. Rave reviews in iTunes but has anyone here tried it? Here is a link to play it on candystand, pretty addicting:

it's pretty good. I was a never a big fan of this genre of app. but this does seem to add a bit of excitement with multiple cannons.

I've come to realize these are the type of games I like to play on the iPhone. Quick simple games I can pick up and put down at anytime. Thanks for the links, arn.

Bought it and it is quite fun.
Tried it first at Candystand though. Nice casual game :)

Yeah, definitely worth the money. Great sound effects and with all the different levels the gameplay is expanded beyond the likes of Puzzloop. Certainly recommended.

Played the first three levels. Good gameplay, and for 2.99 you cant go wrong.

I bought this today and it's pretty fun for this type of game. It can be a bit difficult switching between cannons and control overall is a bit tough, but it probably just takes some getting used to. Good quality app for the price.

Well, you can't have new maps now, but it's not an out of the question down the road. Other than that, I am working on an update for next month that will help the replayability factor.

Endless/high score mode? This would be KILLER. Killer on productivity and battery but I'd love it.

Yep, that's pretty much the plan.

If you pull that off this would be the best game available, IMO. Do you plan on being able to select any of the 20 maps at any difficulty for endless mode?

Yes, although there may not be a difficulty setting selection, but rather it will gradually add more ball colors and increase speed.

My only gripe about this app is that no other game on my iPhone can kill the battery like this one can. Not sure what's up there.

Alright, can't wait for this update. Do you have any time frame in mind?

Hmm, I'm not sure either, I don't think I'm doing anything out of the ordinary. I'd assume other opengl based games have similar battery life.

It's a little early for me to estimate at this time. Things might firm up a little more next week.
