Scoring Methods

Rules (HowTo)

The Game Area

A game consists of a Playground, two players, a ball or can, and two goals:

•	THE PLAYGROUND:

•	PLAYER 1:  This is your chance to control the left DUDE in a battle for defiance and rejection, as your opponent tries to shoot THE PUCK past you, into the goal that you are defending with your life. You have the option of moving in the upward direction, or the radically original downward direction. To do this you use the mouse or the keyboard. These are two of the three choices that you have for PLAYER 1 in the Menu Screen, at the beginning of each game. (The other one is the Computer and you have no control of that choice, if selected, except to serve.) This causes you to deflect the oncoming PUCK. To start the Game press the Serve Key (Mouse: Left button, Keyboard: Click the Options button to see what the current Serve Key is, then if it is desired, you can change it by using the arrows.) This puts the PUCK into motion and the fight begins.

If the PUCK enters the GOAL of either you or your opponent, to continue playing:

a.	If you scored you serve again.

b.	If your opponent scored it is then their turn to serve, so wait patiently for tem to do so.

c.	If you are playing the COMPUTER you will initiate the serve, but it will be put into play by the COMPUTER.

•	PLAYER 2:   Refer to PLAYER 1, because the similarities are amazingly similar, but in a RIGHT (The side of the screen) sense of the word similar.

****	 If you are playing just the computer with the mouse.  The Deflector or Paddle will stay with the mouse with no delay.

•	THE COMPUTER:   Refer to PLAYER 1, because the similarities are amazingly similar, but in a NO CONTROL sense of the word similar, except, to serve use the appropriate button \ key that you use to serve for yourself.

•	THE PUCK:  It may be an ancient version of a square ball or it may be that blasted pop can, that seems to always be in your path, or it is the electronic pulsating ion blast, that you have the chance to play with in a space arena. What ever it is, just don’t let it get past you.

•	THE GOALS:   The goals can be changed in the Menu Screen and will remain constant throughout the game, unless changed by you the player(s) in the Menu Screen. There are three settings : There’s nothing there goal, there is a little something in the way goal, and Get that Wall out of the way. (OR Trash if played in the Alley Way version. ) These Goal modifications are all together difficult, so we left the choice up to you on which one you want. Enjoy!

Object

Win! To do this, hit more served objects in the opponents defended goal, to this cause you will obtain a point. He with the most points wins. Play will continue until you or your opponent has seven points.
