The goal to keep in mind

Follow these playing steps

- Shoot away from the moving keeper.
- A save or outside shot misses.
- Finish all five.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Pointer/touch, aim buttons and Shoot. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
A closer look at one example
An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
Avoid this misunderstanding
The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
