You control a circus daredevil in this adaptation of the popular stunt. You are provided with the speed of the cannon and must choose the proper angle to successfully land in the water tower. Should you miss, you'll damage your player (who says "OUCH") and lose a life each time.
Human Cannonball contains eight different game variations with differing levels of difficulty. Some variations let you move the cannon but not angle it, while others add a moving barrier in the sky to make the stunt even more death-defying.
