In this version of darts, you play against the computer. Each player takes turns to throw 3 darts and is required to throw a dart in every segment starting from 1 up to 20. Players must start with 1 and cannot proceed to the next number until a dart has been successfully thrown at the current target segment. You score the points by hitting a target, the closer you get to the centre the higher the score, and getting a double or triple will boost your score. First player to hit all the targets wins. Controls: First move your finger to place the dart into the desired position, then click the button on the right-bottom to set the power bar and release to shoot.
