How to Play Gimkit Blastball

Blastball brings a new spin to the traditional soccer game. Instead of kicking the ball, players use a blaster to move it. Here’s how the game works:

1. Blaster Action: Use your blaster to push the ball toward the opposing team's goal. An arrow on the field always indicates the goal’s direction.
