## What is RetroFoot?

RetroFoot is a top-down arcade football celebration of the late-80s coin-op era, with chunky pixels, instant action, and zero modern bloat. Pick your country, pick your formation, pick a fight — whether you're chasing the trophy in a 16-team knockout, grinding through a 12-club league season, or tapping a friend's phone to face them on the pitch, every match feels fast, fair, and gloriously old-school.

If you grew up with the classics, you already know what's coming. If you didn't, welcome to how football used to feel: tight, twitchy, and over in a sitting.

KEY FEATURES:

• 16-bit Pixel Art
Every sprite, every kit, every stadium hand-painted in a tight retro palette. No 3D models, no motion blur, no fluff — just pure arcade readability under a fixed top-down camera.

• Tournament Mode
Sixteen nations, single elimination, no second chances. Lift the trophy and your name goes on the wall. Lose any match and it's over. Extra time and penalty shootouts settle every knockout draw.

• Full League Season
Twelve city clubs from across Europe — Paris, London, Madrid, Munich, Glasgow and more — battle through eleven matchdays for the championship. Standings, points, goal difference, head-to-head tie-breakers, the lot. Resume your season any time.

• Quick Match
Pick two sides and play. Three-minute halves, fifteen-minute halves, anything in between. Perfect for a bus stop or a lazy Sunday.

• Local Head-to-Head
Bring your own opponent. Two devices, one match — pair over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, take the home or away kit, and settle it on the pitch with no online matchmaking, no accounts, no waiting.

• Tight Touch Controls
Virtual joystick on the left, Pass and Shoot and Sprint on the right. Context-aware action buttons mean tackles, passes, and shots all live exactly where your thumb expects them. MFi, PlayStation, and Xbox controllers fully supported.

• Smart Team AI
Teammates make runs. Defenders cover. The keeper dives, parries, and rushes off his line when the moment calls for it. Three difficulty tiers, from a relaxed warm-up to a genuine fight.

• Slow-Motion Goal Replays
Every goal, replayed in slow motion from the perfect angle. Then back to kickoff before you've finished cheering.

• Authentic Football Rules
Throw-ins, goal kicks, corners, offsides, fouls, free kicks, penalties — even the keeper back-pass and 6-second rules. Extra time and shootouts on knockout draws. The full ninety covered, with referee whistles to match.

• A single in-app purchase to unlock the full game potential
The free download gives you Quick Match. One single one-time purchase unlocks Tournament, League, and Local Head-to-Head — forever, on every device tied to your Apple ID.

No consumables, no energy bars, no coins, no "watch a video to continue". Pay once, play forever.

Built for iPhone and iPad. Designed for one-handed quick-fire matches on the train and sofa-sized league campaigns at home. Football the way it used to be — pick a team, pick a fight, kick off.

### 2/5 — Injouable

*2026-07-10*

Contrôle impossible

**Developer response:** Effectivement, ce n'est pas un jeu pour les joueurs qui aiment être spectateurs de belles cinématiques. Le jeu est difficile à dessein, et demande une vraie prise en main.

### 1/5 — Tragic

*2026-06-14*

Not even a good pass the time game. Brutal and unplayable

**Developer response:** Too hard for you, maybe ;)

### 2/5 — Not very playable

*2026-06-08*

It needs improvements on the playability. It’s extremely hard even to run with the ball. It’s a good idea but needs a lot yet

**Developer response:** Hi,
You’ve probably never played kickoff or sensible soccer which were the inspiration for this game. The point of it is exactly to be hard and not to be a cinematic game :)

### 2/5 — Лагучий кал

*2026-06-04*

Лагает сильно, телефон не старый. Две звезды чисто за дизайн

### 1/5 — Bad game don’t get it

*2026-05-30*

The game features are terrible  the players are not moving properly very bad don’t get it’s a waste of time

**Developer response:** Thanks for commenting on this (free) game done by a solo indie dev. I guess this type of game is too hard and not suitable for you. I'm sorry this wasted your seemingly very precious time.

### 5/5 — Best football game ever

*2026-05-07*

Really worth it, I love the gameplay!!
