## How to play

A pixel-art picture sits in the middle of the screen, wrapped by a looping conveyor belt. Below it wait several queues of cannons, each with a color and an ammo number. Tap a queue to send its front cannon onto the belt. As it rides around the picture, the cannon fires at the first pixel in front of it whenever that pixel matches its color, so it can only hit the outer pixels that face the belt. Each shot uses one ammo, and an empty cannon leaves the belt. If a cannon finishes a full lap with ammo left, it parks in one of the 5 tray slots, and you can tap it later to send it around again. The belt holds 5 cannons at most. Clear every pixel to beat the level. If a cannon comes back with ammo while the tray is full, it rides one extra lap, flashing red. If the tray is still full when it returns again, the belt jams and the run is over. Every level is generated from a working solution, so it can always be cleared. Your score is the number of levels you clear in one run.

## Controls

Mouse or touch: tap a queue to launch its front cannon, tap a tray slot to relaunch a parked cannon. Keyboard: keys 1 to 4 launch from the queues, Q W E R T relaunch from the tray slots, Enter or Space presses the on-screen button.

## Tips

- Before launching, look at the edge of the picture: a cannon only helps if its color is showing on the outside.
- Peel the picture like an onion. Clearing the outer color first exposes the colors underneath.
- Don't spam the queues. Every cannon that comes back with ammo takes a tray slot, and a full tray is how runs end.
- Sometimes the cannon you need is stuck behind another one. Launch the front cannon on purpose to dig it out, but keep a free tray slot for it.
- Several cannons can ride at once. Pairing colors that sit on different sides of the picture clears it faster without them getting in each other's way.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Pixel Cannons free?

Yes. Pixel Cannons on MoGame is completely free and runs in your browser on phone, tablet or computer, with no download or sign-up.

### Can a level be impossible?

No. Every level is generated by playing it first: the game builds the cannon queues from a solution it has already found, so there is always a way to clear the picture. Each color also gets exactly as much ammo as it has pixels.

### Why won't my cannon shoot?

A cannon only fires at the first pixel in its line, and only if that pixel is its own color. If another color sits in front, clear that color first and your cannon will get a shot on its next lap.

### When does the run end?

If a cannon comes back with ammo while all 5 tray slots are taken, it rides one extra lap. If there is still no free slot when it returns again, the belt jams. Your score is the number of levels you cleared in that run.

### Is my progress saved?

Yes. Your current level and best run are saved in your browser, so you can close the page and pick up from the same level later.
