How to play Pin the Can

1. Cans drop down in front of a brick wall. Drag up or down anywhere to aim: the dotted arc shows exactly where your javelin will fly.
2. Let go to throw. Hit a can and the javelin carries it into the wall and pins it there.
3. Don’t let a can reach the ground, and later on don’t hit the black bomb cans: either ends the run.
4. You get one javelin per can plus a spare; once you have fewer javelins left than cans to pin, the run ends. Pin six to clear it on difficulty 5.
5. You start on difficulty 3 of 10. Clear a difficulty to unlock the next: more cans, falling faster, and fewer spare javelins. Pick any unlocked difficulty with the arrows on the start card.

Tips

• Set the arc first, then wait: let go just before the can reaches it, since the javelin takes a moment to fly.
• Aim the arc a little below a fast can, so it has room to fall into it.
• When a bomb can falls too, pick a height your arc reaches clear of it.
• Everyone gets the same drops all day, and new ones at midnight UTC. “Practice a new layout” deals fresh drops any time, off the leaderboard.
