A really fun game! Sweet tunes and simple graphics, although the angling of the cannon becomes obsolete when you realize you can just aim STRAIGHT at them and fire. But the color changing part definitely makes it harder. Nice job!

I really enjoyed playing, I like how the balls keep rolling for a bit, and how the enemies drop, makes it feel like having a solid mass and shape.

The music is nice and fits well, at the last part it really gets hard but that's a good thing.
I think that the distance could have been controlled better with the scroll wheel, just a suggestion.

Overall, a very nice game that is fun to play, good job!

First time around I didn't really get the color thing, because I didn't read the instructions, second time though I got it working and ended up scoring 25. Probably quite modest but good for me. It could have helped if the game always started with say red color and two read people spawning first before any other spawn. That way when the third person comes and have a different color the player shoots but nothing happen and you'd realize that the color has to match. Same thing with the ammo boxes, they should probably not spawn right off in the beginning but after about 5-10 people have spawned (or if user has been shooting too much after half ammo depleted). Simple design though yet really quite hard puzzle. I would have liked the controls to be a little bit simpler (just show with mouse where the rock should land and clicking like they were, or a pure keyboard input system. On the a11y, topic, it would have been nice if colors also had texture so colorblind could play the game).
