Shooting

Shooting
Shooting is perhaps the most important part of Mad Machines, you can't score if you don't take shots! In Mad Machines there are a plethora of different shots you can take, and many different abilities to tailor your shots exactly how you need them.

Heavy Attacks
Heavy attacks are your primary shooting ability. These are the most versatile and most common shots taken, as they are the simplest. Holding your heavy attack for long enough will give you enough power to break the goalplate, but can also be used to clear the ball or just get it to a teammate as a secondary pass feature.

Light Attacks
Light attacks are an excellent way to fake out a goalie when you're in overdrive mode, or simply dodge a defender. Using a light attack chips the ball up and over the heads of all your opponents, either letting the ball roll right past the goalie, or allowing you to jump up with it and take a shot from over all the defenders heads.

Charge Attacks
Charge attacks are the powerful, booming shots that will decimate anything that stand in your way. They take a little longer to set up, and require a lot more accuracy to get right, but when you master them they become almost mandatory to use. When on the ground and using a charge attack a red bar will appear below you, indicating the charge level of your shot, when in the air this bar moves to both sides of your screen and turns from yellow to red as you charge more. These shots provide considerably more power and distance and can be used to score from very long distances.
