How to play Jegichagi: single-foot, alternating and back-foot styles
Jegichagi is a Korean traditional game of keeping a small shuttle in the air with the feet. Published cultural references describe several play styles, and local rules can differ. Jegi Rally is Denny Games' original single-player digital adaptation.
What is Jegichagi?
Players kick a light shuttle called a jegi and try not to let it fall. It can be practiced alone or passed between people. The Ministry of Culture and the National Folk Museum of Korea describe single-foot, alternating-feet and back-foot styles among the ways people play.
Names and rules vary by region and group. These descriptions provide cultural context; they are not a single rulebook for every game of Jegichagi.
How does Jegi Rally work?
The first round asks you to choose one foot and keep it for six accurate kicks. The second lets you choose either starting foot, then asks you to alternate for eight kicks. The third follows a left-foot, right-foot, back-foot sequence for ten kicks.
Each round allows three misses, and the timing window gets narrower in later rounds. The timing, points and fixed sequence are Denny Games rules for this digital version, not universal physical Jegichagi rules.
How do I control the game?
Choose the foot or style shown in the cue, then press Kick when the shuttle reaches the marked band. The striped band shows the timing window; a closer hit to its centre earns more points. A wrong foot/style or late kick uses one miss.
Touch, mouse, keyboard and the player's standard gamepad action mapping are supported. Pause from the player controls. Completed kicks save in this browser, while the current flight restarts after a reload. Physical phones, tablets and controllers require separate hands-on verification.
