Ok, I have played several games where you shoot to move around from this jam. This one is by far my favorite. Its a really simple concept but I thought it was fun to finish all the levels. Honestly the reason it played well is the instant change in direction from the cannon shot. My only feedback is that visually the cannon blends a bit too much with the background so maybe an outline could help. Other then that I like your idea of expanding the idea with environmental effects. Nice work!

Glad you like it! I originally had it so that the force applied would add up to the direction aimed at, but found the movement too odd, adding the instant change afterward. I'm glad it paid off. Looking at some of the images I have you raise a good point about the colors blending a bit too much. I think whenever I get the chance to come back, I'll probably make the cannon a lighter color so that it sticks out better. Thanks for the feedback!
