Basic

Avoid the white balls.
Each level starts with a set number of balls already rolling in the field.
You lose a third a heart each time you hit a white ball.
Each time you collect a yellow ball, a new white ball appears on the screen.
Lose all your hearts and it’s game over.
Pick up power ups and extra hearts.
Extra hearts replenish your health.

Speed: Makes you go faster
Red balls: Allows you to remove the white (now red) balls from the field each time they hit you.

Transparent balls: Makes the white balls transparent and halves their damage

Scoring and strategy
Score
Each ball you collect has a bonus. It is available only for a brief time.
The timer for the bonus visible on the bottom of the screen.
The bonus works like a Fibonacci sequence. It adds 1 point, plus the bonus. The bonus stacks up each time you pick the ball on time. The sequence below outlines how your points will grow if you kept collecting the bonus.
First ball: 1 point
Second ball: 2 points + 2 = 4 points
Third ball: 5 points + 3 = 8 points
Fourth ball: 9 points + 4 = 13 points
Missing a ball resets this bonus. The bonus also starts all over again when you begin a new level.
Tips
Collect the balls as fast as you can to maximize your score bonus early in the game.
Whenever you can, try to wait until the white balls roll away from your destination before running toward there.
Take advantage of any powerup you may come across.
Target Audience
The game is suited for soccer fans of all ages.
The game has no adult themed content.
