Signal 01 / Objective
What Cool Score asks of each shot
A football path puzzle where a curved shot must clear defenders and enter an exposed part of the goal.
A practical first-session plan
Find the narrowest defender gap and shape the route around it first. Continue the curve into an exposed part of the goal without adding extra bends. Use the first attempt to judge clearance, then preserve any section that already passes safely.
Signal 02 / Controls & how to play
Where to look before you draw
Find the narrowest gap between ball and goal, then shape the route around that obstacle first.
Input to expect
Trace the intended curve from the ball toward goal; ending the gesture launches it.
Signal 03 / First-session plan, quick tip & recovery
One change when the shot clips a defender
If the shot clips a defender, move only the nearest section of the curve and preserve the good finish.
Diagnose a stalled run
If the shot clips a defender, move the nearest section of the line away from that contact. If it clears the defense but misses the goal, change only the final approach and leave the successful obstacle route intact.
Signal 04 / FAQ
Two questions before your first shot
How does the shot actually launch?
You draw the path the ball should follow, and releasing your finger fires the shot. Keep the traced line smooth, because extra wiggles become extra bends in the ball's route.
What should I solve first: the defenders or the goal?
Find the tightest gap in the defense and route the curve through it first, then let that line finish in the open part of the goal. The narrowest obstacle decides the shape that works.
