Cannon
The protagonist of the game. It can be hit and destroyed any number of times, but it will always come back to life. Its job is to protect the King by vigilantly patrolling the castle battlements and keeping the balloons at bay.

King
He moves around mindlessly below the castle battlements. Cannon must prevent him from being carried away by one of the balloons at all costs, because this will cost him a life when he reappears.
