Just like the original game, Gentlemen…Ricochet Mini! requires you to get a token into the target area by launching it all over the screen. This time around, however, things are simplified in every way. To launch a token, simply tap on the screen when the time is right. You can grab the token again when it reaches another launching zone with a tap. Keep firing it around the screen to grab all of the stars and reach the target area. The game includes 72 levels, retro graphics, local multiplayer, boss battles, and three unlockable mini-games.
