Set It Off

SET IT OFF One swipe. One keeper. Watch the net. Flick the ball, bend it past the keeper, climb the ladder. Set It Off is built around the most satisfying swipe in mobile soccer โ€” short flick for a daisy-cutter, slow flick for a chip, curl with aftertouch to ghost the corner.

About

KickQ

Features
Read full description

Aim, charge, kick. A simple football game that is all about the free kick. HOW TO PLAY - Swipe to move the aim. Pressing the red button locks it - The power when you release decides the kick. Hold too long and you blaze it over - A faint dotted line previews the flight, so you can see whether it clears the wall BEAT EIGHT GOALKEEPERS From Rookie to Legend, each keeper differs in reaction, diving speed, reach and how well they read the ball. Score the target number out of 5 to clear a stage; score all 5 for a bonus. Keepers really move toward the ball: a side-step and body block, a jump to tip it over the bar, a low collapse, a full-stretch dive to catch or parry. If they cannot get there, it is a goal. LEVEL UP AND LEARN SHOTS Spend XP on Power, Accuracy, Curve and Dip. Shots to learn: Curve, Dip, Knuckleball, Backspin, Bullet, Banana, Dive. Spin and flight change with every type. The knuckleball wobbles late and unpredictably, and the keeper cannot read it. 3D NIGHT STADIUM A packed two-tier bowl, LED ribbons and boards, roof floodlights. Players move with motion-captured animation: the run-up and strike, and the keeper's dives, catches and landings.
