Animals Rugby Flick

Flick-kicking games ask for one gesture and then scale the difficulty by distance. What makes them more interesting than they look is that distance does not simply require more power — it changes the required elevation, because a flatter trajectory loses height too early and a steeper one loses range. Getting a long kick through the posts means finding the elevation that maximises distance for a given power rather than just swiping harder. Where wind is modelled, it introduces a lateral offset that is constant per attempt and therefore compensable, which turns a miss into precise information about the next attempt.

This title is best suited to players who like a measurable aiming skill they can refine attempt by attempt.

1. Flick or swipe to kick; the gesture direction sets elevation and its length sets power.
2. For long kicks, adjust elevation rather than only adding power.
3. Compensate for wind by offsetting your aim laterally by a proportional amount.
4. Treat each miss as a measurement and adjust one variable on the next attempt.

• Swipe or drag and release to kick

Objectives

• Kick successfully through the posts from increasing distances
• Reach the round target score

The run ends or fails when

• Missing the posts wide or short
• Failing to reach the score threshold for the round

• Single-gesture control combining elevation and power
• Distance scaling that changes optimal elevation rather than just power
• Wind offset that is constant within an attempt
• Round-based score targets rather than continuous play

• Long kicks need a different angle, not just a harder swipe. Elevation is the variable most players never adjust.
• Wind is a fixed number per attempt. Offset by a consistent amount and your accuracy improves immediately.
• Change one thing per attempt. Adjusting power and angle together tells you nothing about either.
