How to Play

Taking penalties: Click the location on the goal you want to hit. This is the location that will be hit at 75 per cent power and no spin.

Click on a location on the ball for the spin to make the ball curve in the air. High spins are sometimes tough to control and will change where the ball will hit the net.

Watch the power gauge and click when you the power you need. Higher power will cause the ball to go faster but lift slightly.

Making saves: When you are defending, the goalie will follow your mouse, so move it left, right and up to block the ball.

If you can’t quite reach the ball, click to make the goalie dive left or right.

Enjoy the game!
