After Soccer Random: Penalty Shootouts, Head Soccer and Cup Games on This Site
Published · 1 min read
Penalties and free kicks
The Penalty Shooters games (1, 2 and X) alternate you between taker and keeper through a knockout tournament; Penalty Challenge and Free Kick Shooter are the same idea in shorter bursts. Flick Goal and Free Kick Screamers are swipe-to-curl games where the wall and the keeper are the puzzle. None of them takes longer than a few minutes a round.
Head-to-head football
Football Legends and Football Masters are the two-player picks: pick a national side, share a keyboard, and use the special move when the meter fills. Heads Arena: Soccer All Stars is the big-head version of the same thing with a longer roster.
Cups and tournaments
The Soccer Skills series (Euro Cup, Champions League and the second World Cup game) is a proper 3D tournament with group stages and knockouts. A Small World Cup 1 and 2 shrink that to pixel players and a top-down pitch, Sling World Cup replaces running with a slingshot, and Foot Chinko turns a cup run into pinball. Soccer 5 is a five-a-side arcade match for a lunch break.
Physics football
Super Liquid Soccer plays with water-balloon players, Bumper Cars Soccer is a ball game on wheels and Foosball is the table game with the rods. They sit closest to Soccer Random in spirit: simple controls, silly physics, short matches.
Other sports
Basketball Legends and Basketball Stars are the court equivalents of the head-soccer games, and the fan-made Retro Bowl is here for people who want American football with a management screen.
