About:

As a promising dare-devil, you must take to the air and perform
a series of elaborate stunts. As you might expect, completing
these stunts earns you points...but thats not all!
There are three game modes. In the first - Arcade Mode, as well
as earning stunt points, you are also awarded "splatter points"
so if you miss your target, do it with style!
the more spectacular, the more points!
The second mode - Single Mode, allows you to select just one level
from the 15 in arcade mode. Both of these modes allow you to
submit your scores to the official site, to compete with others around
the world!
Career Mode takes you through a different set of challenges,
this time you may only move onto the next stage after completing
the stunt before it. Complete all of the stunts in as few attempts
as possible to receive your ranking, and see if this is the career for you!

Super Human Cannonball is a freeware game, and you may distribute it
freely without permission.


2.1///////////////////

How To Play:

The aim is to accumulate points by completing stunts or, creating
impressive splatter (except in career mode).

You must judge the human cannonball's trajectory through the air by using
several factors.

> First of all you must take into account the wind speed and direction.
  This is checked by the state of the orange windsock.
> Next you must judge the power needed, this will determine HC's speed.
  Tap the SPACEBAR once to set the power meter moving, then tap it again
  to stop it at the required ammount.
> Finally you must judge the angle of elevation. The cannon is already
  pivoting up and down, and you must use your timing to fire HC at the right
  angle by pressing SPACEBAR once more.

note: it is possible to switch the order of steps 2 & 3 in the options screen.
