Controls
On a phone or tablet, swipe with your finger. On a computer, click and drag with the mouse or trackpad. Swipe upward, from near the ball toward the goal.
| Your swipe | What it does |
|---|---|
| Direction of the first part of the swipe | Where the ball starts heading (left or right) |
| Speed of the swipe | Power: faster swipe, harder shot |
| Length of the swipe (how far up) | Height: longer swipe, higher shot |
| Curve of the swipe | Curl: the ball follows the shape of your arc |
A swipe that's too short or too slow isn't taken as a shot, and the game reminds you to swipe. Your trail is drawn on screen so you can see the shape you made.
Modes
Career
40 levels, 5 shots each. Score 3 of 5 to pass (4 of 5 from level 26). Levels earn up to 3 stars. The first two levels have no wall; then walls grow up to six players, distances get longer, angles get tighter, the keeper improves, and wind arrives around level 15. Levels 1–12 are free; 13–40 are part of Pro.
Daily Challenge
Five shots, the same for every player that day. You get one try per day on the free version; share your result as an emoji grid.
Arcade
Endless free kicks with 3 lives. Each miss costs a life; chase your best score.
Cups
Win three rounds (quarter-final, semi-final, final) by beating a rival's score; a tie goes to sudden death. Copa del Barrio and Copa Continental are free, Copa Mundial is Pro.
