One strategy for Amazing Alex The Backyard level 2-26, called “Put It Away”, is to place one spring directly below the soccer ball, just slightly off-center to the left. Position two pipes, slanted slightly rightward, to guide the soccer ball toward the basket. We used a double-stack of springs next to the basket to prevent the ball from missing the target.
