Tap & hold to slide the platform to the right. Catch the ball in the center of the platform, and watch it soar higher and higher as you gain extra points. Catch it on the platform edge, and watch a piece fall off. Another center hit will make the platform bigger again. And if you don't catch the ball at all? Well, then you're pretty much screwed.
