Footy Fumble

Footy Fumble is a one-button football game with ragdoll physics and pixel art. Tap to hop, hold to jump, and swing a boot at whatever is in front of you. Two a side, usually first to five goals, and every goal can bring a new ground, a daft ball or a twist. It is a quick, silly soccer game for a bus stop, a sofa or a kitchen table, and it works completely offline.

HOW IT PLAYS
• One button. Tap to hop and swing a boot; hold it for a bigger jump.
• Where you fly depends on how you are leaning, so the whole skill is timing.
• Two a side, usually first to five. A match takes a minute or two.
• The CPU is good: it defends, it attacks, and it never stands still.

TEN GROUNDS
The park, an ice rink, the beach, the Moon, Titan, Mars in a dust storm, the bottom of the sea, a swamp, a city rooftop in a crosswind, and the cloud tops of Jupiter, where everything weighs half as much again.

ELEVEN BALLS
A proper match ball, a beach ball, a rugby ball, a tennis ball, a bowling ball, a balloon, a melon (it bursts on the crossbar), a golf ball, a basketball, an egg (do not drop it) and a rubber duck.

TWISTS
Massive goals, tiny goals, spring boots, a bouncy castle, a night match, big units, tiny tots, thick fog and a goal magnet.

THINGS TO DO
• THE DAILY FIXTURE: the same match for everyone on Earth, once a day, with a streak to keep going and three challenges beside it.
• THE TOUR: forty authored matches across every ground, with a gaffer to beat at each one.
• THE GAUNTLET: an endless run that gets sillier and less forgiving until you lose.
• THE CUP: four rounds and a trophy, as often as you like.
• THIRTY-FIVE BADGES, from your first win to a hundred-day streak, each one paying out in coins.

DRESS THEM UP
Sixteen kits, or build your own from ten patterns and twenty-six colours. Eighteen haircuts. Seventeen hats and extras, including a wizard hat, a set of antlers and a halo. Celebrations for scoring and trails for your rockets. Everything is bought with coins you earn by playing. There is nothing to buy with money.

TWO PLAYERS ON ONE PHONE
Share the screen, a thumb each. Turn on two buttons each for four players' worth of chaos between two people.

NO NONSENSE
• Free, with no adverts and no in-app purchases.
• Works offline. No account, no sign-in, no internet permission.
• Collects nothing. Your progress is saved on your phone.
• Small download, runs on phones going back to Android 8.

A football game, a soccer game, a physics game: call it what you like. It is mostly a game about pressing one button at the wrong moment.
