Game objective
Reach the target score within 10 shots or 60 playing seconds; shots and replays pause the clock.
Controls
- Mouse/touch: swipe from ball to goal; curve for spin.
- Keyboard: arrows/WASD aim; Space/Enter shoots.
How scoring works
Normal goals award 100 points, top bins award 175, and low corners award 140. Fast shots add a small Quick Fire bonus, while consecutive goals multiply the score up to 5x.
Core mechanics
- Each stage ends after 10 shots or 60 playing seconds. Meet its target score to unlock the next stage.
- Swipe Start targets 750 points, Keeper Duel 1,050, Free Kick 1,450, and Wall Master 1,900. Later stages introduce a defensive wall.
- Short taps or drags starting away from the ball do not shoot. Follow the on-screen swipe prompt.
- Goals award 100 base points, low corners 140 and top bins 175. Quick Fire and target bonuses are added before the streak multiplier, up to 5x.
- The current hosted build assigns an original China-themed squad. There is no country picker or separate character selector.
- The goalkeeper shows movement cues, and goal replays finish before the next attempt.
Common failure causes
- Waiting too long gives up the Quick Fire bonus and lets a keeper finish a visible shift before the strike.
- Repeating one corner after the keeper has already leaned there makes a save or post more likely.
- Aiming outside the frame produces a wide shot and breaks the streak without stopping the current run.
