### 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.

### 3/5 — Game

*2026-06-26, version 4.5.4*

The fact that you can block a shot with a longer “weapon” through the net is absolutely stupid

### 4/5 — Game great but the glitches

*2026-03-02, version 4.5.4*

I love the game it’s amazing I’ve been playing this game when I was a kid. I started playing recently because I remember the memories playing and it’s fun it’s amazing to pass time, but I’m not sure what happens but I use my power shot an jump off the game for a three point shot and it never happens. It happens throughout mid game and I’m not sure if my player glitch but it makes me lose the advantage of the game and kinda ruin the experience of playing the game. I would have to restart the game or the mode I’m playing and I lose the process. Overall the game is fun I love HeadSoccer too that another game I play from the makers of HeadBakest Ball

### 3/5 — Pls fix online :((

*2026-02-27, version 4.5.4*

Love this gameeeeeee pls add Honduras and Guatemala

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-02-07, version 4.5.4*

This game is so much fun one of my favorite things are the variety of powers the customization options are amazing as well. I am looking forward to new characters this game is great especially because there are not ads really

### 2/5 — Unbalanced

*2026-02-07, version 4.5.4*

Still the same unbalanced trash it was a decade ago it gives the ai every chance to win you literally can’t win

### 5/5 — Bangladesh and Slovenia

*2026-01-25, version 4.5.4*

This game is GREAT but there is a few suggestions I have. 

Bangladesh: this character in my opinion is a c+ with a potential to be an A. Why? Because 1, the jump-shot is weak and is easily counter-able/block-able. My solution is to make the blood stream have an angle like Afghanistan’s jump-shot only a bit faster. Secondly the dunk doesn’t work 10% of the time. So if you can find the bug and fix it it’ll be greatly appreciated.

Slovenia: WAY too hard to get.   The requirement should be like the Netherlands’. In fact it can be even harder like “10 points or less” I understand that it’s a really good character but causal players and beginners will have a tough time getting him. 

Game: PLEASE update more!!!! And also bring back 2 character updates! I understand that you have many other games to tend too but those kind of updates every once in a while won’t hurt. 

If you’re reading this I hope you take into account of what I have said otherwise have a great day!

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-01-19, version 4.5.1*

I love the challenge of getting a new character

### 5/5 — Great game even greater potential

*2026-01-08, version 4.5.0*

I love this game first off the variety of charters, builds, gear, and modes makes the longevity of interest worth the while but I think multiplayer is where this game can really takeoff. The servers are very slow and it takes a long time to even que up for someone. If you can fix the heavy delay and lag for servers this game can potentially be the best arcade basketball game in the AppStore please listen to your fanbase and supporters we only want what’s best for the game and I hope you can fix multiplayer and even make tournaments for the game mode

### 4/5 — Amusing Yet Annoying

*2026-01-02, version 4.4.4*

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 u lock 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.

### 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

### 1/5 — Crashes on startup

### 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.

Great arcade game

### 5/5 — GAME MODE IDEA!!!

*2026-02-18, version 4.5.4*

This game is pretty cool and I like it but… I think it would be a cool idea to add a new game mode where players can make there own maps and characters but obviously they can only be countries! This would be amazing but I get if you don’t want to do it! It would make the game more fun and more interesting to experiment with the game! Thanks! Also I do YT vids on my channel on this game!
