The popcorn seed begins at a stationary point, with an arrow swinging from right to left and back again. The indicates the direction to which the seed will "pop", which in effect is a jump with momentum. Notably, subsequent shots can and will be made while the seed is still rolling, so be careful to factors both the arrow moving and the movement of the seed when determining your next move. Note that you cannot control the power of the seed, it always bounces with the same amount of energy.
