			The game is played with two teams pitted against each other. Each team has two players. Players can move around on the field, except inside the semi circles around the goals, and rotate. One player at a time has the ability to shoot a beam. To score, the beam has to reflect at least once - against a wall or another player - and enter the goal. A team has 30 seconds to make a goal, or else the beam is passed over to the other team.
