The first minutes
This is a football game played one against one. The players are tiny and move like ragdolls, so the physics do a lot of the work, and the fun is in how a shot wobbles, bounces and sometimes lands somewhere you did not plan. You choose a national team or a club, then play tournaments.
The control is a single gesture. Click or tap and hold to aim, then release to shoot. The same gesture works with a mouse on a computer and with a finger on a phone or tablet, which is why Poki lists all three device types. There is a solo mode against the computer and a local two-player mode on one device.
Poki describes a card collection alongside the matches: more than 280 player cards, gathered match by match, which also make more teams available. If you only want a quick match, you can ignore that side and simply play the football.
Buttons in use
- Click / tap and hold
- Aim
- Release
- Shoot
Four or five pointers
- Hold for a moment before releasing. The aim only settles while you hold, and a rushed release is the most common way to waste a shot.
- Expect the ragdoll players to wobble. Leave a little margin in your aim rather than lining up a perfect angle.
- Try a team you do not know. More teams become available as the card collection grows, so changing sides is a simple way to see more of the game.
- Use the two-player mode when someone is nearby. It runs on one device, so there is nothing to connect.
- Play a tournament in one sitting if you can. The card collection grows match by match, and a tournament is where that progress makes the most sense.
Made for
Players who like short, physical sports games with simple controls, and people who want a two-player game on a single device.
What to weigh up
- Poki shows ads around its games, so there may be an advertisement before a match starts.
- The ragdoll physics are loose by design. If you want precise control over every shot, this is not that kind of football.
- With one control, the game is easy to start but takes practice to aim well.
- Two-player mode is local only, which means both players share one screen and one device.
