Cannon Balls
Action · Arcade · Strategy · ShootingAbout Cannon Balls
Cannon Balls is a physics-based demolition game that rewards careful aim and a keen eye for structural weak points. You are handed a cannon and a limited supply of ammunition, then pointed at a series of increasingly elaborate buildings and towers. The goal is not just to fire — it is to fire smart, identifying the keystone beams and support columns that, when hit, cause the whole structure to collapse in a satisfying cascade. Wasting shots on solid walls while the real pressure points stand untouched is the easiest way to run out of ammo. The satisfaction of a well-placed shot that takes down an entire tower with a single ball is what keeps players coming back.
How to Play
Aim your cannon by adjusting the angle and power, then fire to launch a ball at the target structure. Observe how the structure is built and target load-bearing supports rather than random walls. Each level gives you a set number of shots — use them efficiently to bring down the required amount of material. Bonus points are awarded for clearing structures with fewer shots.
Tips & Tricks for Cannon Balls
- Aim for the base columns of tall towers — removing a foundation support usually triggers a collapse that clears far more than a direct hit would.
- Watch the structure wobble after each shot before firing again; secondary collapses often do your work for you.
- On levels with wooden and stone mixed structures, target the weaker wooden joints first to destabilize the whole build.

Yes, it is completely free to play directly in your browser with no purchase required.
Do I need to install anything to play Cannon Balls?
No — the game runs in your desktop or mobile browser without any download or installation.
Does the game use realistic physics?
Yes, the structures react to impact with physics-based collapse mechanics, meaning the way a building falls depends on which part you hit and how much force you apply.
