01
Aim by dragging — opposite direction
Press and hold the left mouse button on the ball. As you drag, you’ll see a faint trajectory preview snake out toward the goal.
The shot mirrors your drag. Pull down-left and the ball flies up-right. Think of it as a slingshot: you’re pulling the rubber band back.
02
Power = drag distance
The further you drag, the harder the shot. The power meter on the right of the screen fills as you pull.
The amber band (70–90%) is the sweet spot. Shots in this range are the hardest to save and the least likely to sail over the bar. Below 70% the keeper eats it; above 90% the ball flies into row Z.
03
Bend it — banana curve
While you are still dragging, hold:
- A — curves the ball to the LEFT (great for right-footed top-corner shots)
- D — curves the ball to the RIGHT (essential for bending around walls)
The longer you hold, the more spin. The trajectory preview updates live so you can dial it in.
04
Beat the keeper
The AI goalkeeper has three traits: reaction time, guess accuracy, and dive speed. Early levels are forgiving; level 10+ keepers read your drag almost in real time.
Tips:
- Aim for the corners — most saved shots are too central.
- Mix it up. Don’t shoot to the same side three times — the keeper learns within a session.
- On free kicks (chapter 3+), curve is mandatory. Aim wide of the wall, then bend it back.
- Combos multiply your score. Three in a row = x3 multiplier.
