GorpBall is a turn-based football game for two players on one device. Take it in turns to move your team, set up plays, and kick for goal — it's the beautiful game, slowed down to a strategy battle. HOW TO PLAY Each turn, drag your players into position — every player has a limited movement range, so placement matters. When you're ready, kick the ball by dragging it toward your target. Passes can be intercepted, opponents can tackle as the turn ends, and only one defender is allowed inside the penalty area. Score more goals than your opponent to win. FEATURES • Pure pass-and-play — no accounts, no internet, no waiting • Drag-to-move player controls with clear movement range indicators • Realistic interceptions — kicks through crowded areas are risky • Tackle system — end your turn with opponents nearby and possession can change • Penalty area rules — one defender only inside the box • Instant new game — reset and play again in seconds • Clean, distraction-free football pitch GorpBall is perfect for playing with a friend on the sofa, on a plane, or wherever you want a quick strategic kick-about without the faff.
