Cannonball

Cannonball is the tenth power-up in Lab Experiment. Cannonball at face value looks like a more expensive Forcefield, and while the two may be compared, they have two entirely different uses. Cannonball is one of the most expensive abilities, but that shouldn't deter you from trying it, it can be the best ability for gaining credits in the game. The main perk about Cannonball is that you shield yourself from everything (even lava) except explosions, although you have no control and players can push you around. This means that in normal play, it's not viable as a lifeline or a survivability tool, but more so as it's own, special role.
Towards the end of most games, it will be two or more players on platforms as the lava engulfs all. Normally, your chances of winning are as good as a coin toss to what placement you get, but with Cannonball, you can ensure that you will be the last to survive out of everyone at the same elevation as you. This can allow you to ensure a 1st or 2nd place usually, and for this reason it is very helpful for getting credits without grinding for them. It also allows players to rank up easier. It should be noted however, users must jump before using Cannonball as to make sure they are not accidentally placed inside their plate, which at the wrong time, can cause an instant loss. Another thing is that sometimes the Power-up doesn't activate on the first button press or click, but rather takes several to activate.
