A small practice goal
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What counts as success
Score seven goals before the computer. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Making your moves
- Start.
- Move your mallet within the lower half.
- Strike toward the upper goal.
- Goals reset the puck.
Making selections and moves
Mouse/touch movement or Left/Right controls. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
One way to understand the rules
An angled hit can bank off a side wall. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
A common point of confusion
You cannot move into the computer’s half. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
