Cannon Knight by Gonzalo Antuña
Defend your castle from the Zombies and Orcs, don't let them get to the gate! The game will end if they destroy it. Jump using W and move using A and D, get in the cannon holding E and shoot with the Left Mouse Button. There's an automatic flamethrower to help you that needs fuel, hold shift to pick up the box and drop it inside the oven to make sure it works!!

Cool little action game, nice work!
We had some extra mechanics to add like a time between increasingly difficult waves, more enemies, an ammo system for the main cannon, an elevator, etc, but you know ... only 3 days.
About the controls: With E you use the cannon, you have to hold it down because in an early part of the game, pressing and releasing it gave us some problems (bugs) and we decided to leave it like that, it is somewhat uncomfortable, I know. Hold the Left Shift down to lift the boxes that reappear downstairs and leave them in the oven to refill the flamethrower and get extra help during waves. Is something OP, yes, we wanted to make it use more fuel to avoid lasting the whole wave, it is a balancing error.
Anyways, thanks for the comments and ratings :D
