I unfortunately had to play alone, but I did get the chance to try the mechanics. I felt that it was pretty hard to accurately aim your canon. More slow movement would have solved this (maybe even fast movement whilst holding shift), and something like an aim-line? I liked the graphics, it looks pretty realistic and nice. One last thing, when you shoot at a distance, bombs tend to skip over the ball, which is pretty annoying, hehe. Maybe make it so they can't make any horizontal movements, or whatever.
