### 1/5 — Worst game ever

*2026-08-19, version 4.6.1*

Every time I go against a bot in arcade mode it’s like the bots are more enhanced and perform differently from the beginner bots. When u add more characters ON GOD U MAKE THEN MORE DIFFICULT TO COUNTER LIKE. FOR ME TO GIVE THIS GAME AT LEAST 4 STARS (will never be 5) LET PLAYERS CHOOSE THE BOTS DIFFICULTY AND MAKE THE NEW AND FUTURE CHARACTERS MORE COUNTERABLE. 

P.S. Forced to give u a star even though ur game now is worth zero stars

### 5/5 — Elias the boom

*2026-08-15, version 4.6.1*

Best game I played in a long time

### 5/5 — good game

*2026-08-14, version 4.6.1*

overall a rly good game, nostalgic

### 1/5 — Crashes on startup

*2026-08-12, version 4.6.1*

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love this game. It’s my favourite mobile game of all time. But here’s my issue: I want to unlock af94, by completing a campaign without ability shot usage. But whenever I get to the last match, my game crashes. So please, find time to fix crashes for older devices. Also, the game had started crashing on startup uncontrollably.

### 5/5 — Child hood games can’t beat it

*2026-07-29, version 4.6*

Head soccer and basketball has been my childhood games they never change the graphics or anything same nostalgia feeling love it

### 4/5 — An improvement to head soccer

*2026-07-23, version 4.5.4*

I like how it is way different but still similar to head soccer. A lot more cleaner. Just love how both games have skill just that you need like max upgrades, power ups, counters. All types of play and variety too. Like the reference too and the many flags. Those types of games are underrated and should be ranked as the best mobile game. My favorite is probably campaign mode. I like Jerome story with a drunk addict and literally wins and motorcycle into the building but the owner still let him drink the beer. Adding more characters is a way to go. Like you could add Kiryu Kazuma, Goro Majima, Tastuya Ukyo, Joe Yakubi, IShowSpeed, Kenshiro, Senator Armstrong, Jetstream Sam, Goku reference again nah wait maybe Perfect cell. Cultured references or maybe twist it up your own with their backstories. Search it up if you don’t know and go watch them. But maybe you got some mechanics too like Kiryu Kazuma and Goro Majima got different style power ups. Won’t be too bad if they have their legend styles too. Have their revelation pose show up. Joe Yakubi would get a passive where he can’t get knocked down when he uses his power ups. Counter would be his cross counter. Like if it hits while the opponent is kicking then it would get a suspension a unique knockdown. Else it would fling and stun them away like the wind power up. And probably like you gotta hit Joe many times until he shoots before he gets to the goal. What I am yapping about maybe i’m off topic and off my mind because I love those power ups and references.
Leaving it four stars because I lost the icloud data to the phillipino guy for head boxing. Lost my max stats for no reason.

### 5/5 — Really good game 👍🏽

*2026-07-16, version 4.5.4*

Great way to waste time and super fun! Could you please make the AI harder? I have so many head cups won because they’re just too easy!!

### 1/5 — A

*2026-07-09, version 4.5.4*

When you play legacy mod  superstar? And lose a match the game take away your ability like swing and that one character would need to learn the loss your swing in superstar that may  me not  get it. I deserve. To get yazld

### 1/5 — .

*2026-07-05, version 4.5.4*

Unlocking characters is the most tedious process ever. I’d rather slam my head into a pile of bricks repeatedly until I get brain damage than unlock every character in the game.

### 5/5 — To cool for school

*2026-06-27, version 4.5.4*

Just a good game
