Galleon's Graveyard Cannon Fight Rework

Alright, I started playing the dungeon Galleon's Graveyard because i wanted the chestplate and the improved black horse. The dungeon itself is not bad but there's one point that always takes a lot of time.
The ship battle. It should just be removed. Or totally changed.
First, it is bugged. Sometimes pressure plates spawn when they shouldn't (and the ball they fire despawns naturally short after), sometimes you fire with a cannon and it shoots 2 balls but one always disappears and sometimes the other one as well.
Second, it's not fun. You might think there is a strategy or whatever, but there isn't. I've played it enough times to make sure of that. You simply have to go on the pressure plate of the cannon that's gonna reload next and hope it doesn't get bugged and miss. It's not fun playing 20 minutes of "dwdwsddasawds", stepping on pressure plates gets very boring very fast.
There are no rewards if you win (no drops or whatever, at least they'll just make it seem worth playing) and you only have to accept that you're gonna waste the next 15-25 minutes spamming the same 4 keys on the keyboard. It should really be changed. Pls.

 

How should it be changed (if you want to change it, suggest ideas what to replace it with)

 

They could change the reload mechanic, the way it is now there's no complexity at all. For instance, they could make it so that you have to take cannonballs on the ship and drop them in hoppers on the cannon, then press the plate, to fire. This way it would not matter reload time but you would need to choose if it's better to push one lane to get damage done or defend your ship. They could make the cannonballs not clash in air and create a defense system, where you have to attack with cannons and defend from enemy balls with something else. They could make enemies come at you on boats instead of cannonballs and you have to shoot them to survive for x seconds. They could make the enemy fire pattern not regular while changing the reload mechanic so that it has sense firing on one lane rather than another. If more ideas come up I'll write them. Btw I'm trying to do that part right now...

 

yeah it's hard.. but you just have to git gud
they give you a head start so you could get 2 free shots at them.

 

The thing I've noticed it that if your cannonball collides with an enemies, instead of just deleting that cannonball, it clears the ENTIRE row.
