Making selections and moves
Touch to aim; sliders set power and angle; striker-position controls and Shoot. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
An example before you play
Queen and own man in one legal shot cover immediately. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
The last own man returns if the queen remains uncovered. 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.
