Flash
- Pick up snot, move in circular motion, let go to send flying

Nitrome Touchy
Nitrome has announced to methods of playing the game on the Nitrome Touchy: Wii Motion Plus style control method, or the swipe screen control method.

Wii Motion Plus style control method
This method involves use of the gyroscopic capabilities of the iPhone. The player has to simply touch their phone to grab the Snot, then wave their phone around to get "stretchy momentum", then release the Snot on the phone. This style is named for its similarity with the actions one would perform with a Wii Remote.

Swipe screen control method
This method is a simpler, "non athletic" version of playing Super Snot Put. The player has to position their finger on the iPhone, grab the Snot out of the Nose, and wave their finger around to gain momentum, then release to send the Snot flying.

Gameplay
The player has to grab a snot put that drops out of a metalic nose, and fling it as far as possible. This is exactly like the prequel's objective.

Strategy
To get highscores on this game, it's all about the throw. The player needs to get lots of momentum and height to compliment the speed. There are a lot of throw techniques, but the three most known and used is clockwise, counter-clockwise and straight throw.

Clockwise focus on, as the name implies, spin the snot in a clockwise movement, not hitting the walls. After some spins, the player can throw the snot when it's on a top-right position.

Counter-clockwise is the same as the last one, only in inverse. The style focuses on height, but isn't very effective, as there is little speed to go with it.

The last style is the straight throw. Make a left and right motion diagonally. Let go at the peak of the right of the screen. This one is based open both height and momentum, but lacks control; it is best to use this method with trial and error. However, this strategy is proven to be worthy.

Lines/Flags
The lines and flags play the same role as flags in the prequel. While in mid-air, the player can see the lines, an when landing close to one, the flag can be seen.


 * Blue - Marks the player's previous throw.
 * Red: Marks the player's best throw of the day.
 * Yellow: Marks the best score of the player's friend list.
 * Green: Marks the farthest some friend has threw it.

Bells
Each 10,000 centimeters, a bell sounds. Under the invisible line that makes the bell sound, the character can find the it. If the players touches the bell, it will move.
