CONEY ISLAND · GAME 02
Bucket Toss
Land 3 of your 5 balls inside the bucket. Aim at the bucket, hold to power up, and let go in the green. Too much power and the ball bounces out!
Touch or mouse: aim, hold to power up, then release in the green. Keyboard: focus the booth, use arrow keys to aim, then hold and release Space. Or use the aim and steady power sliders. All prizes are pretend.

Fun fact
A gentle toss works best: a slow ball has less energy, so it's less likely to bounce back out.

Rolling a ball up a ramp turns its speed into height. More speed means it flies farther up the board.
