About this game

In Human Cannonball, adjust the cannon’s position, angle, and firing speed to launch a man into a bucket of water. Each successful landing earns one point, and the game ends after seven attempts.

Several variations let the player control these settings, leave some fixed, or have them randomized by the computer. A moving wall can also be added in front of the bucket for a more demanding timing challenge.
