  [About Cannon Smash over the internet]
  Cannon Smash development team have been testing this function as mush as
  possible. But our machines and internet environments are restricted, 
  so we can't test for all environments. 

  As we have developed this function for a few months, and finally we can
  play this game between a machine in Japan and a machine in U.S.A. 
  We think that this is sufficient and we decided to publish the new
  version, but we have to say that we can't guarantee that you can play
  this game over the internet if your machine and network environment
  don't match our environment. 

  Multiplayer mode need more machine power than single player mode. 
  If your machine can't run this game smoothly on single player mode, 
  it is hard to play on multiplayer mode with the machine. 
  Of course, network environment also affects the possibility of
  multiplayer mode. 


6. Other options
There are other options in initial window. Please refer to
