AT A GLANCE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Type of game: Classic arcade Category: Action Goal: Survive and score as many points as you can in an endless or long level run. Players: 1 player Difficulty: Easy to start, hard to master Session length: 2 - 10 minutes Suggested age: Ages 6 and up Plays with: Arrow keys / keyboard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. HOW TO PLAY (from the official zbani.com game page) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Perform Aerobatic stunts. Use the arrows on screen or the arrow keys. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. HOW TO PLAY - THE SIMPLE VERSION (for kids) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Think of Aerobatics like this: 1. You control one character: move, turn, jump or shoot. 2. Collect the good things and avoid the bad things. 3. The game speeds up over time, so it gets harder fast. 4. When you lose a life you start again from the beginning. 5. Try to beat your own score, little and often. In one sentence: Survive and score as many points as you can in an endless or long level run. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4. YOUR TARGET AND HOW TO WIN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TARGET: Survive and score as many points as you can in an endless or long level run. WIN: There is no final win - beat your own best score. SCORING: Points for collecting and clearing, with multipliers and extra lives at score milestones. Milestones to aim for while you learn: - Learn the first level properly - most points come from the early waves. - Keep a steady rhythm; panic movement wastes lives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5. CONTROLS AND BUTTONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Arrow keys / keyboard - Most games on zbani.com work on a computer with a mouse and also on a phone or tablet with taps and swipes, so you can play either way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6. WHY IT IS GOOD FOR THE BRAIN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aerobatics trains several mental skills at the same time. Here is what each one does and why it is worth playing: * Reaction speed - you read the screen and act instantly. * Endurance attention - you hold focus through a long, repetitive run. * Pattern learning - you improve each time because you spot the same patterns again. * Resilience - losing a life teaches you to reset quickly. Why it is good for kids in particular: * The rules are short and the feedback is instant, so young players stay motivated and build confidence quickly. * Every round is short, which fits into a school break without losing focus. * It is a screen skill that transfers off the screen: reading instructions, counting, planning and spotting mistakes all show up in everyday tasks. This game also borrows from other styles, which adds to the workout: * physics skill game skills - the same focus and planning you use in physics skill game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7. STRATEGY TIPS AND TRICKS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Learn the first level properly - most points come from the early waves. - Keep a steady rhythm; panic movement wastes lives. - Use the safe corners and routes you find early. - Practise one short run a day instead of one long frustrated one. - Play a few rounds before you try to be clever. Learn the simple rhythm first; the advanced tricks only work once the basics are automatic. - If you keep losing at the same point, that point is your training goal. - Short daily practice beats one long session, and it is how the real skills (planning and control) actually improve. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8. BETS AND CHALLENGES (friendly, for fun - no real money) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ zbani.com games are free and there is no real-money wagering here. If you play with friends, these are the fair, fun challenges people use: - Friendly challenge: finish a run with no hints and no restarts. - Friendly challenge: beat the clock by 10 seconds compared with your best. - Friendly challenge: play one round one-handed to prove real control. - Friendly challenge: two-player rematch - loser chooses the next game. - If you do bet something, bet a real-world thing: the loser makes tea, the loser chooses the next game, the loser does the washing up. - Play-money only, and never bet money you cannot afford to lose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9. REWARDS AND THE 'BEST PLAYER' BOARD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stars. Earn stars for playing well in Aerobatics: - Stars are based on level, score and how few hints you used. - Stars are kept on your profile, so you can see your total growing over time rather than only your best single round. Badges to collect: - High Score - beat your personal best - Survivor - reach round 10 - Flawless Run - finish a level without losing a life - Clean Sweep - finish a round without losing a life - Speed Star - finish under the target time - Combo Master - reach a 10x multiplier - Comeback Kid - win from last place or lowest score - Daily Player - play 7 days in a row The Best Player board for Aerobatics: - The top scores and best times for Aerobatics are listed on a 'Best Player' board for that game, so there is always a target to aim at. - Beating your own score is the first milestone. Beating someone else on the board is the second. Both are worth celebrating. - Board spots should reset when the game is updated or the difficulty changes, so the ranking always means something. Reward idea for a family or class: - Collect 10 stars for a sticker, 50 stars for a real reward, and 200 stars for 'Game Master of the Month'. Kids remember the badge far longer than the score, and it rewards steady practice instead of one lucky round. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10.
