Sentences

The words are frozen into a block of ice. Hold Aim, slide to aim, and let go: hit the words in order, straight up or off a wall.

Set up the round

How the round plays. The sentences themselves come from the set. Kept on this device.

Level 1: the shooter moves the whole width, the aim line shows the bounce, and the next word is often straight up. 2: the shooter keeps to the middle half and the line stops at the first wall: more angles. 3: the middle quarter and a short line: angles and bank shots most of the time.

Extra ice A shield of empty ice in front of the words, with a gap above it, so a straight shot hits ice. The orb can melt it (15 points each, never a slip) or go round it off a wall: the next word can always be reached off a wall. And the pack fights back: after each word it shudders and grows one block (two with two rows). There is always some empty ice mixed in among the words too, more at higher levels. By level: mixed-in ice only at level 1; a shield of one row at 2, two rows at 3. Off: no extra ice at all.

Slips allowed A slip is hitting a word too early: the next word is "did", but the orb hits "start". After this many slips the block freezes again and the sentence starts over. 1 (the default): one wrong hit and it starts again. Off: slips never restart the sentence.
