How to play
You and your opponent each drive a little cannon cart on hilly, destructible ground. Take turns firing shells. Every hit knocks off HP and blasts a crater into the ground. Bring the other cart down to zero, or knock it off the map, to win.
The wind changes every turn and pushes your shells left or right. A small flag marks where your last shot landed, so use it to adjust: too short, add power; too long, take some off.
