Cannon Blast — A Friendly Guide to the Pirate Cannon Puzzle Game

If you like short, inventive levels with a pirate twist, Cannon Blast is a nice pick. It’s an action-puzzle game where the core loop is simple: fire cannons, navigate hazardous levels, recruit crew, and beat tricky bosses to recover your lost treasure map.

What is Cannon Blast?

Cannon Blast puts you in the role of a treasure-seeking pirate who keeps losing their map. To get it back you use cannons to work through a series of themed worlds. Each world ends with a boss fight — tougher enemy pirates that stand between you and the next chapter of your map. Along the way you build up a crew you can choose from when playing.

How to play (quick and accurate)

• Fire the cannon — click the mouse or press the spacebar to fire. That’s the main control you need.

• Complete puzzles and obstacles — levels mix action and puzzle elements: use cannon shots smartly to clear paths, hit targets, and make progress.

• Collect and choose crew — as you advance you gather crew members; you can visit your ship and pick which crew-member to play with.

• Face bosses — at the end of each world there’s a final boss; these battles test how well you’ve learned the game’s mechanics.

Tips to get better fast

• Learn timing over power: because firing is the main mechanic, practicing when to shoot often matters more than trying fancy maneuvers.

• Experiment with crew choices: different crew members may suit different levels or playstyles — try a few to see what fits.

• Study boss patterns: bosses usually follow repeatable moves; take one attempt to observe, then another to strike.

• Replay short levels: because levels are compact, replaying gives quick practice and fast improvement.

Cannon Blast is easy to pick up, friendly for short sessions, and packs pirate charm into compact, clever levels. If you enjoy action-puzzle games with a light progression loop and occasional boss fights, it’s a pleasant, low-commitment way to pass some time.
