Your game looks great and I like the idea. If you do go ahead and make more levels for it, I think you should make the first level a little bit easier, because it's freaking hard. :-) I died probably like 20 times before gramps got even one hit on that wall. The difficulty helps add to the addictiveness, so I wouldn't make it much easier, just a little bit. With that said, I think it's a very cool game. Nice job!

The game froze when I ran it on my Windows 98SE laptop. I ran it off of a partition if that affects anything.

Originally, it was the idea to create three levels and the level you can play now would be the second.. Still I'm glad that you died 20 times and were still eager to play it!
I hope to have the time soon to include the other levels..
Thanks for the comments!!

Does it freeze while playing? or doesn't the game even start up? I hope it's not the case that it can't be run under Win98SE, but I'll look in to the problem. Thanks for the comment!

great game, the graphics are not too bad either, we've all seen much worse
Here is what I disliked. By elimination, I liked everyhting else, so I won't list those.

I could not move close to the hut, so lost some of the cannon balls.
When pressing the up arrow key, sometimes the ball still did not bounce higher, but maybe that was a matter of timing.
It lacks in game music of sorts. This is mostly apparent on the title screen.

Keep up the good work.
