Training Guide

how to play

Slide your finger down to pull back the football. This brings up the Kick Power Meter. The further back the football is pulled, the more power you will kick with and the farther the ball will go. Using more power will make the Timing Needle move faster, making aiming more difficult.

The Timing Needle moves left to right. Try to hit as close to the center of the Aim Meter as possible in order to kick straight.

When you pull back to select the power of your kick, you can drag either left or right to “aim,” or rotate the entire Aim Meter in one direction or another. This is useful when you have kicks that are offset from the center of the field or you’re trying to compensate for the wind direction.

GAME DESCRIPTION

Score as many field goals as you can before the clock runs out! You’ll need to judge the wind, aim carefully, and kick with precise timing to win. Use streaks and power ups to maximize your score.

The ball moves 5 yards farther from the goal posts after every successful attempt and moves 5 yards closer after every miss. After successful kicks, the ball also moves left or right to match where the ball passed between the uprights.

Wind can have a dramatic effect on your kick. It usually changes gradually between kicks, but it can change abruptly.

Pro Tips

1. The more power you use for your kick, the faster the Timing Needle moves.

2. Drag back towards the ball to avoid kicking the ball. This may be useful when deciding to use a powerup after already starting to aim.

3. Releasing the ball when the Timing Needle is in the exact center of the Aim Meter will award you bonus points if you make the goal.

4. Counteract the wind by aiming in the opposite direction.

5. Use more power for your kick to compensate for any headwind.

6. You can trigger a powerup before or after you kick.

7. Gain bonus points if the ball passes through the very center of the goal posts.

8. Back-to-back successful kicks will start a streak.

9. Be careful not to under-kick on the longer shots – use more power the farther down the field you are kicking

10. If you’re about to miss the goal posts, use the Golden Ball powerup to make the ball fly towards the center of the uprights.
