How to play VECTACROSSBAR

Swipe to curl free kicks round the wall, beat the keeper in the top bins and ping the crossbar.

Goal: Swipe at the goal to shoot: the ball goes where you swipe, a longer swipe sends it higher, a fast flick hits it hard and a curved swipe bends it the same way. Score each round's target from six balls: beat the wall over the top, round the end or under it when it jumps, and beat the diving keeper in the corners. Miss a target and you lose one of three lives and play the round again. The top corners pay more, the last ball is a gold ball worth double and three in a row is a HOT STREAK (x2). Hit the woodwork and it still pays (PING!) and keeps your streak; crossbar challenge rounds pay for every ping. Today's Free Kicks gives everyone the same kicks.

Controls: Swipe at the goal · Keys: arrows aim, A / D curl, hold Space and let go to kick · P pauses
