About this game

Cannonball Blitz is an action arcade platform game released in 1981. The goal is to reach the flag at the top of each level.

A guard sends cannonballs down the structure, where they roll across floors with randomly opening hatches. Cannonballs also fall on the swings, requiring careful movement as you climb. Near the top, catch the balloon to reach the flag and proceed to the next level.

The available movement options are up, down, left, right, and jump.
