Aiming: Move your device around until your opponent is in your reticle, then fire when it turns red.
Shooting/Attacking: Pull back on the elasticity meter on the right-hand side of the screen. The more you pull back, the more powerful your shot. Better slingshots pull back more quickly, try and go for the eyes for more damage, however. Doing so by far causes the most damage and it will hamper enemy's aim for a short time.
Shooting Ammo: Touch the ammo to use, then pull back on the elasticity meter on the right-hand side of the screen, There's 6 ammo's in the game.
Using health kits: Touch the health kit to heal.

Balloon variants

How to win
Be the first to blow all opponent's balloons to win. Note, all balloons can take two hits before it pops.
Tactics
Because this game mode is very different than in normal matches, one should follow the tips below to get better chance to win:
Hitting balloons are hard, so keep stable and aim for the balloon in the front or in the middle; avoid aiming at the back balloons as the car will often move. Play as Toothy if you want to have increased accuracy.
Timing is important as a miss can cost your time to reload and giving enemy player opportunity to pop all your balloons up before you are able to pop the enemy's balloons.
It isn't necessary to fully pull the sling as the balloon damage is always the same, so it best to pull the sling back only half-way and quickly release it in order to increase the rate of fire; As too accurate shot are hard to hit the balloon, especially when the car is moving so fast, enemy hitting you or begin panicked. When performing this tactic, it recommended to play as Nutty to increase the reload rate by 10%.
Unless you have enough skill to pop enemy's balloons in mid-air or at long range, it's best to fire the slingshot when player is stable driving the ground. And try to fire so quick as possible.
Use the Basic Slingshot, as it has the shortest reload time compared to other slingshot (1.5 seconds to reload) (-0.5 second shorter than most slingshots). Also, balloons have same health (2 hits), so it is pointless to use the more powerful slingshot.
On Terror Trails, it's recommended that you use Petunia, as there will be a lesser chance of your screen getting covered in mud.
Maps variant
How to win
This mode play in same rule in normal matches, expect the player play in the a specific map. Note if the player doesn't have unlocked that map yet, the player can still upgrade his cart before the actual unlock, giving the player a great start for next time for playing that map.
Bullseye variant
How to Win
In this mode, the rule are similar to normal matches expect only eye hits can damage the opponent, so be sure aim practice at enemy's eye.

Once you clear a health bar, Flippy becomes Evil Flippy (having previously only been Good Flippy) goes inside the tank using it to fire at you and you have to use your slingshot to fire at the ammo before it reaches you, at random intervals though, he will flip back and come out of the tank firing at you with a machine slingshot similar to Sniffles' in the episode. Once you clear that health bar, the tank is mostly destroied but Evil Flippy stands on the base of it with a pair of rocket propelled grenade launchers that you have to tap both of them befor they reach you.

Bugs
For example, a invisible cart on the player side.
Exits
Those bugs are currently present on this game and are not patched:
In the HD version, if you try to use your Facebook account, it crashes.
Patched
Those bugs has been patched on each updates:
If a friend challenge a another player, there is often a glitch where the character will be sitting in an invisible cart. This happened often when your friend challenge you with other stage while your current stage is at different too. For example: if you are in the map Terror Trails (stage 2) and your friend challenge with you in Camp Pokeneyeout (1st stage), you will appear to be driving invisible cart. However the oppose player will see nothing wrong.
If this happens on iPad, the game will crash instead.
