Practice beyond the first move
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.

The steps to play
- Set angle and power.

Getting comfortable with the controls
Touch aim, sliders and Shoot; Space fires. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Work through an example
A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A useful caution
Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
