At least I think it was a flash game. Anyway, the top of the screen was filled with different colored “monsters” in the shape of circles. You had a cannon with which would aim and shoot one of the types of monsters (there was a queue). If you could get three of the same type monster next to each other they would clear. The object was to clear the board. Something makes me think it started with a “Q” but I could be wrong. ---
