Gameplay

The game has no scroll. Instead, it has three different screens showing one third of the field each. In one the player gets a side view of the middle of the field. When the ball goes out of the screen, a new screen with the goal at its top is shown (the camera is "flying" over the middle of the field).

A triangle is used to indicate the height and side effect of each shot.

gollark: Probably not, just add a rule talking about how the existing processing rules map to batch tasks.
gollark: What? No, probably not, you would just wait 150 minutes.
gollark: I mean more like being able to queue up batch operations on furnaces/mines or something, so you can say "process 10 clay into 10 brick" and your stuff will be busy for 150 minutes.
gollark: Hmm, perhaps. Maybe a thing where you can queue a bunch of actions to run in a batch?
gollark: Some offense, but this honestly seems like a bad mobile game where you have to constantly log in to collect resources and stuff, but you also have to manually handle the rules too.
