Cannon Smash Playground Online
Cannon Smash Playground is a free browser cannon game in the Royal Smash style: aim across the arena, fire a bouncing cannonball and knock every jar, can and block off its table before the shot counter reaches zero. 500 levels and a daily puzzle, no download.
The genre goes back to the oldest fairground stall there is — knock the tin cans off the shelf with a ball. Phones turned it into a physics puzzle: Voodoo's Knock Balls! became a chart hit in 2018 with its balls-versus-block-towers formula, browser portals picked up the idea with games like Cannon Balls 3D, and Cypher Games' Royal Smash! (Physics Puzzle) turned it into a big hit with hundreds of hand-built boards, a limited number of shots and stacks of jars and crates on a table. Cannon Smash Playground is our take on that last formula, built for the browser: no app store, no install, it starts in the tab.
Each level puts bright, toy-like pieces on one or more tables: jam jars in six colors, tin cans, wooden crates and cylinders, stone and ice blocks. A shot can hit one piece directly, bounce into another, or knock out a support that sends a whole stack over the edge. The ball keeps its momentum through the scene, so the angle of a hit matters as much as the target — the same satisfying chain reaction that made Royal Smash and Knock Balls so hard to put down.
The campaign has 500 levels. The opening 160 rebuild the piece sets into new symmetric constructions; later levels combine them into larger layouts across several tables. Difficulty rises in short waves, with a gentler level after every five, so a hard board is always followed by a breather. A separate daily puzzle gives you one more layout each day without touching campaign progress.
Win a level to earn 15 coins; a rewarded ad can double that when one is available. Run out of shots and 200 coins buy three more for the current attempt — if you are short of coins, a rewarded ad can give you those shots instead. Coins and progress are saved in your browser, and if you sign in on crokocat they travel with your account instead.
If you are looking for Royal Smash online, Knock Balls in a browser, or another game like Cannon Balls 3D or Cannon Smash Fest to play on a PC, Chromebook or school laptop without installing anything, this is that kind of game. Cannon Smash Playground is an independent crokocat game and is not affiliated with Cypher Games, Voodoo or Famobi.
How to play Cannon Smash Playground
Line up a shot and clear the stand:
- Move or drag to aim the cannon at a support, a gap or a cluster of shapes.
- Click, tap or release to fire a ball. Watch its bounce and the chain reaction it creates.
- Knock every target shape off the stand before the Shoots counter reaches zero.
- Restart the level to try a new angle, or use coins or an available rewarded ad for three extra shots after a loss.
Game modes
| Mode | What changes | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Campaign | 500 levels with new symmetric layouts and gradually changing difficulty. | Players who want to work through the full set of constructions. |
| Daily Puzzle | A level selected by the date, separate from campaign progression. | Players who want one extra challenge today. |
Tips for Cannon Smash Playground
- Aim low at a support block when you want the stack above it to fall together.
- Jars and cans on the table edge fall with a light touch — save your strongest angles for the heavy stone and wooden pieces in the middle.
- A shot through the middle of two shapes can make both sway, but an angled hit often transfers more force.
- Watch where the first ball bounces before choosing your next shot.
- On a wide level, look for a move that affects several tables instead of clearing one object at a time.
- Keep 200 coins in reserve: three extra shots on a nearly cleared board are worth more than a restart.

Frequently asked questions
Is Cannon Smash Playground free?
Yes. It plays in a browser on desktop, phone or tablet, with no download or sign-up.
Is this Royal Smash?
No. It is an independent crokocat game in the same style as Royal Smash! (Physics Puzzle) by Cypher Games: a cannon, a limited number of shots and stacks of jars, cans and blocks to knock off a table. If you enjoyed Royal Smash on your phone and want something like it in a browser, this is the closest fit on crokocat.
Can I play a game like Royal Smash or Knock Balls on PC?
Yes — Cannon Smash Playground runs in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Chromebook and Linux, as well as on phones and tablets. Aim with the mouse and click to fire; nothing needs to be installed.
How is it different from Knock Balls or Cannon Balls 3D?
Knock Balls and Cannon Balls 3D are about smashing through block towers. Here the targets stand on tables and the goal is to push every piece off its stand — jars, cans, crates, stone and ice — so where a piece falls matters more than how much you break.
How do I win a level?
Use the available cannon shots to knock every target shape off its stand.
How many levels are there?
There are 500 campaign levels and a separate daily puzzle.
What are coins for?
You earn 15 coins for a win. On an Out of moves screen, 200 coins buy three more shots for that attempt.
Can I get more shots without coins?
If you have fewer than 200 coins and a rewarded ad is available, the Out of moves screen offers three extra shots for watching it.
Is my progress saved?
Yes. Level progress and coins are saved in your browser. Sign in on crokocat and they travel with your account instead.
