The Cannon

Description

In the middle of nowhere, someone has built a wonderful weapon, but now every type of stereotypical enemy wants it destroyed! Beat back ninjas, zombies, robots and more with the cannon and it's choice of four weapons! Fire, ice, lightning and vines. Each weapon has different effects on each enemy, so to stay alive, you will need to think on your feet.
