SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Xeno Hockey is designed for use on color-enabled handhelds running Palm OS 4.0 or higher. Requires 300 Kbytes of free RAM.

INSTALLATION

Use HotSync to transfer "Xeno.prc" to your Palm device. To get started, tap the Xeno Hockey icon in your Launcher.

INSTRUCTIONS

Choose to play Home (Red) or Away (Blue), or select Computer vs. Computer for demo mode. Set your difficulty level and period length. Choose the aim mode to play either turn-by-turn or in real-time. Finally, adjust your game pace by customizing the aim time. When done, tap Start to continue.

The match starts in the centre of the rink with Xeno disks placed accordingly to home goals and a ball dropped between them.

To target your disk, move the cross along the rink. Then just release a stylus to make a push. The position of the cross at that certain moment sets the direction of the push. The length of the push line from the disk to the ball sets its strength.

Xeno Hockey ice rink is characterized with a certain level of friction to make Xeno disks and ball movements realistic. The movement of the ball after a collision with the Xeno disk depends on what part of the disk the hit was made. Target precisely to push the ball in the preferred direction. Goal cross-bars and rink boards can be used to deliver ball to opponent's goals by indirect hit.

One point is credited to the side that scores. Player with the most points by the end of the game wins. If the draw has place, the game goes to overtime and “golden goal” rule takes place.

Tap Down button during the match to switch camera to either Home player, Away player or the ball. Tap Date Book button to pause the game and take a breath.

For game statistics, track live in-game announcements or tap Game Stats on game menu. The extended statistics window with wins-loses history is brought to the screen after the match.
