Cannon Game

Based off of Riemer's 2D tutorial found here Every thing not in the tutorial is created by myself.Main thing though is that I ported it to Zune.
Version: 1(first public release)
Finally its finished a 4 days of work is finally sort of done! A fairly simple side view cannon shooter. Very fun with two or more people as I have not managed to get A.I. working yet. The Game is played in landscape mode.
Controls: Rotate cannon: Left and Right buttons(arrows)
Increase/Decrease power: Up and Down buttons(arrows)
Fire: Center button(spacebar)
Menu: Back (escape)
Menu select: Play("A")
The game uses randomly generated terrain and dynamic wind helping to make it different each time and make it harder to memorize the shots. The game will run on both the pc and Zune with 3.0 update. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Notes: The cannon ball does not move completely smooth which I am working on fixing.The Game does take a while to transfer to the Zune since it has some large images from use on the PC.On the Zune the Game shows up as Riemer 2D tutorial, this will be fixed eventual as will the lack of a description and icon.

Screenshots: The screen shots are from running it on the PC

This looks like a simple version of N.A.M.E

it is not final. He is asking for suggestions and he needs to fix the cannon ball animations.

You can take screenshots directly from the Zune. Just run the game in debug mode with your Zune connected. Go back to the XNA Device Center and right click your Zune device icon. Just click the "Take Screenshot option"

Any one have some specific suggestions on how to make the cannon ball move smoother

maybe u can make it like name with a terrain selection and a way to choose how many players (human) and how many AI (zune) players. and maybe a more various weapon selection, kinda make it like pocket tanks for the PC. that game is awesome. other than that, excellent game dude +rep

It's probably in "Download Completed Games" under the titles of N.A.M.E., like say, this: http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/dow...-0-rc-1-a.html
