How to play

Make it easier

Make it harder

  • Only knocks with the practice foot count.

Three things to say

  • Dribble close before you strike, and keep an eye on your own bottle.

Colts habit

Be brave: attack, don't just guard.

Both feet

Practice foot knocks only.

Heads up

One eye on each bottle.

Safety: Plastic bottles only, no glass. Low, gentle passes.

Knocks in 60 seconds. Last time and this time. Only ever compared with your own earlier go, never with anyone else. Saved on this device only.
