🕹️ Gameplay Mechanics

1. Swipe to Shoot:

• Basic Control: Draw a line on the screen with your finger or mouse. The ball follows this trajectory.  The speed of your swipe dictates Power, and the direction dictates the Angle.

2. Curve System (Banana Kick):

• Advanced Tech: This is the heart of the game. By drawing a curved line (e.g., a "C" shape), you can apply spin to the ball, making it curl around defenders and into the net.

3. Adaptive Difficulty:

• As you progress, the defense toughens up.  The wall adds more players, they start jumping, and the goalkeeper becomes faster and smarter.

4. Precision Zones:

• Often, targets appear within the goal (usually in the corners). Hitting these bullseyes awards bonus points or extra time.

💡 Strategy & Guides

• ↩️ Master the Curve: Don't just shoot straight! Straight shots are easily blocked by the wall. Learn to curve your swipe to bend the ball around the defenders' heads.

• 🎯 Aim for the Top Bins: Goalkeepers are good at saving low shots but struggle to reach the top left and right corners. Practice lofting the ball into these "un-saveable" zones.

• 💨 Mind the Power: Harder isn't always better. For close-range kicks, a powerful swipe will send the ball over the bar. Use a gentle, controlled swipe for close shots to make the ball dip (Knuckleball style).

• 🧤 Read the Keeper: Look at where the goalkeeper is standing. If he is hugging the left post, shoot right. Watch out for AI that anticipates your shot—sometimes shooting where he was is the best trick.
