Summary: Ping pong. That's right. Also known as "table tennis", Cannon Smash is ping pong video game. Very strange concept, I know, but the developer pulls it off well. This is a very difficult game, but is fun for those with good reflexes. Graphics are kept simple, especially since they would interfere with game concentration.
