HINTS AND TIPS
|
|
|
|
o The dividing capsule is very usefull if your ball is caught behind
|
|
or enclosed within a wall.
|
|
|
|
o The laser is useful for breaking down energy block that require a
|
|
number of hits.
|
|
|
|
o Use the very edge of your Vaus to deflect the ball and give it a
|
|
sharper angle for maneuvering into restrictive places.
