Let me explain the controls of the game to you:
Set the position
As you start the game, you will be first given the chance. Firstly, you have to set the position of the striker. A panel will be assigned to you by default. You can play using this panel only. On your chance, the striker would be placed in your panel. Drag the striker to the left or the right to set its position.
