If you have trouble, load the latest version of the Java Runtime Engine (JRE), which you can get at the
for Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems. The JRE does not work on Apple (iOS) or the Google Android operating systems.
More advanced levels of play provide more challenge by increasing the maximum speed of the target ball, decreasing the firing rate of your wing (blue dot on your side), and increasing the firing rate of your opponents.
Unlike the physical game rules, scoring points for the simulation goes on indefinitely. Players try to get a high percentage score.
Here are some success strategies, like in the real game.
- Watch out for other balls (e.g. to avoid hitting the target into them; to avoid disrupting your shot; and to notice when they are on a path to hitting the target to your goal.)
- Hit the target to the left, where your wing has a good opportunity to score, and your opponents have a harder time to score.
- Keep shooting to advance the target to the opposite goal, even though your odds of hitting the target are less for distant shots.
- Hitting the target, when it comes toward you, will cause it to go even faster toward the opposing goal.
