Overview

A 2D side view, single player platform game by Rainer Weingärtner and René Udert, published by Ariolasoft in Germany in 1988. Canonrider is an arcade game about exploring a maze while flying on a cannonball. (Note: the game is a bit reminiscent of the story of Baron Munchausen, who traveled the world with a cannonball!) The goal is to escape the maze by finding a cannon and gunpowder that match the cannonball to fill a hole to blast into the wall. A total of eight bags of gunpowder can be found in the maze. There are also a number of other items that you need to use to progress, e.g. B. Water to put out a fire. The ball can float in all directions, slowly sinking down if you don't steer up. However, you can remain in the air at the touch of a button. In the maze there are a number of traps and bugs to avoid. One touch leads to the loss of a life. If you collect enough "bonus balls" hanging from the ceiling, you get new lives. There are arrows on some screens. If you lose a life, you start again with the last touched arrow.
