 To begin the game you will choose your vehicle. You can scroll through your options by dragging your finger along the selector, or by moving up and down with your trackball/d-pad.

To view the information about a particular vehicle, simply touch its icon and you will be shown how much is experience is required to unlock it, or the vehicle's stats if it is already unlocked. Each vehicle has different strengths and weaknesses so it's a good idea to pay attention to the your starting location, terrain and weather conditions when making your selection.

To adjust the aim, touch and drag the tip of the arrow so that it points in the desired direction. The longer the arrow, the further your shot will go. You might find it helpful to fine tune the angle of your shot by touching the buttons on either side of the 'Angle' display. This can also be done by moving left and right using the trackball/d-pad. To fine tune the power, simply touch the buttons on either side of the 'Power' display, or by moving up and down using the trackball/dpad. The wind can be a factor in the trajectory of your shot, you can see the wind strength in the display as well. Touch the weapon icon to choose the weapon to fire. When you are ready to shoot, press the 'Fire!' button.
