==Controls==
[[File:PC Mouse.png]] '''Mouse''' - Move cannon

[[File:PC Mouse Left Click.png]] '''Mouse click''' - Shoot a ball
==Gameplay==
The player has to shoot a number ball as many times as they can. Every time two balls hit each other, the number in the middle of the balls will increase by one. When a the number on a ball is the highest that that player has gotten, the player's "best ever" score (located on the side of the screen) will change to that number. Balls with [[cameos]] of the faces of other Nitrome characters may appear, but they do not count towards the player's score when they hit other balls.
