How to use the controls
Pointer/touch, aim buttons and Shoot. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A closer look at one example
An edge target may beat the keeper but must stay within the posts. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
A useful caution
The keeper reacts after the shot, so aim matters. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
