Launch Missile[]

The ability to launch a single powerful missile to anywhere in the canyon.

Construct Wall[]

Stop Time[]

This ability allows freezing all enemies in the ability's range for a couple of seconds.

Another ability is to sell cannons and buildings. However, it does not require waiting for it to be used or buying buildings. Every item sold will add 50% of its original price to the money sum the player has.

Enemy upgrades[]

Enemies have 2 possible upgrades. The first is enemy level. The higher the enemy's level is, the more health it has. Enemy levels range from Lv.1 to Lv.5. As enemy level increase, both health and reward increases.
Also, some enemies have upgrades. These upgrades make harming them more difficult. Enemies can have upgrades in all levels, however, an enemy cannot have more than 1 upgrade.

  • Autorepair- the ability to regain health. Enemies with Repair upgrade can repair their health in a low rate, and they can only be destroyed by hitting them in a larger rate until they have no lives left.
  • Fast- the ability to move faster. Several cannons, such as the Missile Turret and the Howitzer, can only hit them if they are coming towards them slowly.
  • Shield- the ability to decrease cannon's damage.
