Introduction
A welcome message to the guide
Growing up at the Royal Nursery, Hagan and Skarl had an intense rivalry playing games with their PluckoNM blocks. They would both try and build the biggest castle, and then take it in turns to knock them down.
Playing as Hagan, your objective is to shoot your cannonball over to Skarl's castle and knock the gold treasure outside of the red square. For additional points, destroy the castle and knock over his silly Meridell flags!

Basics
Introduction to the game and basic information
If you ever had an addiction to LegoTM when you were a child, then smashing another peron's beautiful creation in this game may help make you feel better for all those times somebody smashed yours. The idea of the game is to shoot cannonballs at your opponent to knock down his treasure while also demolishing his castle for extra points. Its a basic game, the only part you have to do is aim and use the right amount of charge (the sword demonstrates the charge). This game is 3D and can take quite awhile to load and play.
Picking a castle
Tips on how to pick the right castle
A large castle does not necessarily mean you are guarnteed to win. From my experience, a large castle does work better but its easier to take down for beginners. Your opponent is able to take a lot more sections and if you aren't good enough to demolish his, then using a smaller castle isn't right for you.
Aiming and Powering up
Tips on how to aim properly
When you are trying to knock the gold off, remember to aim near the centre at first since that is where it is most often placed. Try to aim your cannon so that your cannonball hits ontop of the gold, or even possibly the wall in front of it.
When trying to hit blocks, the higher your aim, the less charge you have to use. Remember not to aim low, to always aim at least 4/5th of the way up the castle. If you aim near the top, it is almost guarnteed to hit the middle of your opponent's block, knocking it down. I usually have my charge 3/4th of the way up when I use this method, but you can do whatever suits you. The first thing you should take down is the towers. They're worth more and quite easy to demolish if you hit it on the right angle.
