Features

Two taps. That is the whole game. Tap and drag to swing your aim, then lift your finger — that does not shoot. Tap again and hold: a power bar climbs and falls. Let go at the right moment and the ball leaves your boot. The target is not a goal. It is an oil barrel floating out at sea, and the ball has to drop into its open mouth. Hit the rim and it bounces out. Come up short and it splashes in front. Overcook it and it sails past. After every miss the game tells you exactly what went wrong and by how many meters, so your next attempt is an adjustment instead of a guess. REAL DISTANCES Level 1 puts the barrel 20 meters out. Every level pushes it 5 meters further, up to 65 — the range of an actual long-range free kick. Both ends of the power bar are labelled in meters, so you always know what you are aiming for. TWO MODES, ONE DIFFERENCE EASY sets the barrel still on the sand under a purple sunset. HARD floats it on the water, rocking with the swell, and from level 8 seagulls cross your line of sight. Distance, power scale and bar speed are identical in both modes, so the two leaderboards are directly comparable. WATCH THE SHADOW The ball flies on an arc. The round shadow on the ground is what tells you where it will land. Read the shadow, not the ball. WHAT IS IN IT - Three attempts per level. Score and you level up immediately, and the barrel backs off another five meters. - Play as a male or female striker. - A global leaderboard for each mode. Setting a name is optional. - Portrait, one hand, no buttons on the screen. - No ads. No in-app purchases. No account, no sign-up. - Plays offline. The leaderboard is the only thing that needs a connection.

Verdict
