Focus simultaneously on spelling STAR and scoring goals. Goals carry over between balls, so score early!
Complete S-T-A-R to increase Bonus X (2X, 3X, 5X). Also scores a goal in 3 ball play. Each goal is worth 2K in bonus times STAR value.
If goal is lit, cradle ball to feed into kicker. This sends the ball to the opposite saucer. If not lit, aim for left orbit or right lane.
