The game is pretty straight forward as the shuttercock falling from random corner then hit it to bounce on the net, the more times you bounce on it, the more points and the colour will change, then only hit over side of the net to gain maximum points.
Along the way, when you are controlling more shutter beware of the bomb. Its an interesting game that test on your reflex, just like you are playing badminton . .:D
