Tips and tricks
- If there is a power meter, release slightly earlier than feels natural; most meters are tuned so that "full" is too much.
- Learn the special moves last. The fundamentals — passing, positioning, basic shots — win far more games than trick shots.
- Use the whole field, court or track. Players who hug one side become predictable.
- Defend first when you are ahead, attack first when you are behind. It sounds obvious, and yet.
- Because this is a Adventure game, explore side paths early; adventure games hide their best upgrades away from the main route.
