Game Play
Matches
Each match consists of a single 44 seconds period.
Whoever has the high score at the end of the period wins.
If the score is tied you immediately go into sudden death overtime where the first person who scores the next goal wins.
When you play against the computer the computer gets the ball first at the beginning of the game.
After each score the team that was scored on gets the ball next.
Tournaments
If you play in single player mode the game is formatted as a 5 match tournament.
The first two matches are easy, the next two are normal, and the final match is hard.
If you lose any match it is game over.
Strategy
This game favors a defensive & conservative play strategy.
It is quite easy to accidentally score an own goal, particularly if the ball gets behind you.
It is best to spend most of the game flush against your own goal & quickly return to that position any time you do not have control of the ball.
It rarely makes sense to move out past midfield as it leaves your goal open for an easy score by the opponent.
When you have the lead you can run the clock while holding the ball.
If the ball is along the ground it often makes sense to make a loft shot & if the ball already has some bounce to it then it typically makes sense to do a straight shot.
After shooting run back toward your own goal so that you can defend counters.
Target Audience
The game is suited for players who like simple soccer games.
The game has no adult themed content.
