This Donkey Kong clone is a challenge
The Good
Familiar gameplay
The innovation of the balloon, which you can "catch" and ride up to higher platforms.
The Bad
There's a lot of waiting around. There are no ladders you can use to ascend. Instead, you have to position your character at one end of a see-saw, then wait for a cannonball to drop onto it, which launches you to the next higher platform.
What music is present is of limited quality (single voice).
Your character is an all-white sprite with very slight animation.
The Bottom Line
Cannonball Blitz is a game that apes Donkey Kong (pardon the pun). You direct your character across the screen, using sea-saws and cannonballs to reach higher platforms. You can jump over cannonballs, but if they hit you, you lose a life. Your goal is to capture the flag at the top of the screen.
