King and Balloon: Difference between revisions

The player must take control of a cannon whose job is to patrol the battlements of a castle, protecting its king (who is moving randomly back and forth below it) and keeping squadrons of descending balloon-marauders at bay. Unlike many other fixed shooters, the cannon can be hit and destroyed any number of times - it is the king who must be protected. The game is over when the King has been carried away three times, (or four, depending on whether the player had earned an extra life or not).
