Tip: a shot that collects nothing costs a life — three misses ends the run. Aim off the walls, not just straight at a target: the targets keep shrinking as you score, so the easy line-of-sight shots dry up and banking becomes the whole game. Sweep two or more in one shot for a bank — worth far more than the same targets picked off singly (a 3-bank scores 6, not 3), so greed pays. The targets arrive as named layouts dealt in a different order every run, and climbing the stages brings out the meaner, bank-only ones. Sharpshooters whisper that a truly clean line pays more than the scoreboard admits.
