🧩 Level Information

• Level Number:57
• Problem Statement:Align the cannon with × and shoot a cannonball to make it +
• Difficulty:Normal

🎯 Objective

Properly align the cannon with the marked "×" on the screen and fire a cannonball to change its shape to "+".

📝 Step-by-Step Solution

1. Focus on the cannon located at the bottom (or edge) of the screen. Rapidly pressing the aiming button will not change the shape.
2. Press and hold the barrel part of the cannon, and confirm that you can drag and move it.
3. Drag the cannon so it is directly below (or beside) the "×" mark, aligning the muzzle to aim straight at the center of ×.
4. Fine-tune the angle and position to make sure the cannonball hits the center of ×. Prioritize aligning the cannon's orientation and position over the aiming mark.
5. Once the position is set, tap the fire button (or the cannon) to shoot the cannonball.
6. When the cannonball hits the center of ×, part of the diagonal line breaks away, leaving a "+" shape with intersecting lines. Stage cleared.

💡 Hints

• Just tapping to fire the cannonball will never change the × to +.
• It’s not the × that you can move, but the cannon. Try dragging it.
• Focus on aiming at the 'center' of ×, not the edges. Adjust the angle to ensure it hits the center.
• Bring the cannon directly below (or beside) ×, then aim the muzzle at the center before firing.

🧠 Explanation & Key Points

This stage requires a shift in perspective, focusing on moving the firing side (the cannon) rather than meddling with the target itself. Initially, players tend to continuously fire cannonballs to try and break the ×, but simply pressing repeatedly won't change the shape. By dragging and aligning the cannon's position and angle to shoot directly at the center of ×, only part of the diagonal line breaks away, leaving the vertical and horizontal cross of '+' behind. Identifying which object can be moved and what needs to be broken to achieve the target shape requires observational skills and a bit of trial and error.

🔍 Common Mistakes

• Persistently pressing the cannonball button to forcefully try to erase ×.
• Attempting to drag the × mark, which results in nothing happening.
• Only changing the cannon’s direction and not moving its position much, and continuing to fire.
• Aiming at the edges or the diagonal line of × without realizing the importance of hitting the center.

🎉 Post-Clear Advice

If you realize you can move the cannon, this stage is easily solvable. Developing a habit of 'just trying to touch everything' on objects will make future puzzle challenges easier to solve.
