The playing sequence
- Start.
- Move your mallet within the lower half.
- Strike toward the upper goal.
- Goals reset the puck.
Your inputs
Mouse/touch movement or Left/Right controls. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Follow the example
An angled hit can bank off a side wall. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.
A useful caution
You cannot move into the computer’s half. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
