Sightline Sandstorm expands the experience of Olympic + marksmanship sport shooting in Aimlabs, with fresh gameplay mechanics in a new desert environment! Compete on a global leaderboard with 9 new Tasks that put your aim + adaptability to the test in new ways!

[h3]The Tasks - Pick your weapon of choice![/h3]

[h3]3 New Gameplay Mechanics - Breath Control, Crosswind, and In-Task Shot Visualization![/h3]
Sightline introduced Precision Scoring to Aimlabs - a scoring system that grants you more points the closer you are to the center of the target! With Sandstorm, we've expanded upon our focus on precision-based Task mechanics, with 3 cool new features!

[h3]Breath Control[/h3]
Commonly found in sniping games + a fundamental marksmanship skill, Breath Control mimics the natural sway from breaths when aiming down sights. Hold your breath to steady your shots and hit the bullseye!


[hr][/hr]
[h3]Crosswind[/h3]
Another key part of aiming at long ranges is compensating for wind before you take your shots. Crosswind recreates wind physics + weapon ballistics in Aimlabs, with directional wind shifting your bullet trajectory at various speeds/intensities. Adjust your sights accordingly to compensate for the crosswind and land your shots!


[hr][/hr]
[h3]In-Task Shot Visualization[/h3]

• Score History lets you keep track of how many points your shots are worth. An extension of our Precision Scoring system, you can now quickly verify what shots granted you the most points based on their proximity to the bullseye, with the new Past Shots Display!
• Shot History lets you see exactly how precise you were, for every shot you took. Easily view how close you were to the bullseye with the new Target Display!

[h3]Full Task Descriptions[/h3]

[h3]Flicking[/h3]

• Soarclick: Train your click timing skills with 6 targets soaring left and right simultaneously. The more targets you kill, the smaller they become. Score is fixed, awarded per kill, and deducted per miss. Avoid trying to hit every target on screen; prioritize juggling 2-3 at a time. Keep your crosshair in the center of the walls to maximize kills.
  
• Sideclick: Train your under-pressure flicking skills with 4 targets alternating between two walls. Targets spawn in groups and switch walls when the wave is cleared or when 2 seconds have elapsed. Score is fixed, awarded per kill, and deducted per miss. Avoid panicking or spam clicking upon missing; aim for precise shots and switch walls early if needed.
  
• Angelclick: Train your click timing & target reading skills with 5 targets flying along the x & y axes. The more targets you kill, the smaller and more evasive they become. Score is fixed, awarded per kill, and deducted per miss. Avoid spam clicking upon missing; move on to the next target and take shots between their directional changes.
  

[h3]Tracking[/h3]

• Pongtrack: Train your precise tracking skills with targets ping-ponging off walls and changing directions between bounces. 4 health-regenerating targets spawn sequentially, each smaller and faster than the last. Score is awarded per hit, increasing with each target, with no miss penalty. Avoid shakiness; match the target's speed and trajectory.
  
• Lineartrack: Train your precise & reactive tracking skills with targets moving linearly around you. 4 health-regenerating targets spawn sequentially, each thinner and more evasive than the last. Score is awarded per hit, increasing with each target, with no miss penalty. Avoid shakiness; stay smooth and avoid trailing or over-correcting when targets change directions.
  
• Controltrack: Train your precise & reactive tracking skills with targets moving along the x, y, & z axes. 4 health-regenerating targets spawn sequentially, each smaller and more evasive than the last. Score is awarded per hit, increasing with each target, with no miss penalty. Avoid predicting; maintain control by smoothly reacting to movements in real time.
  

[h3]Switching[/h3]

• Levelswitch: Train your target prioritization & switching skills with 5 targets moving level along the x-axis. Score is awarded per kill, with no miss penalty, so hold down shoot the entire time. Avoid waiting for targets to land in your crosshairs; flick to each target and transition smoothly into horizontal tracking. Allow targets to be destroyed before flicking to the next.
  
• Swarmswitch: Train your target prioritization & switching skills with 7 targets swarming along the x, y, & z axes. Score is awarded per kill, with no miss penalty, so hold down shoot the entire time. Avoid switching off targets too early; actively match the target's speed and trajectory to kill them before they change direction.
  
• Bounceswitch: Train your target prioritization & switching skills with 5 bouncing targets. Score is awarded per kill, with no miss penalty, so hold down shoot the entire time. Avoid switching to targets that are falling; focus on switching to targets bouncing to their peak to give enough time to kill them before they hit the ground.
