Head Soccer 2022

Head Soccer 2022 is a quick one-on-one football game with big-headed cartoon players. Each match lasts about a minute, so it's an easy game to play "one more time" with a friend on the same keyboard.

After the Play button you get a Mode Select screen with two choices:

1P Arcade: you play against the computer.
2P Versus: two players on one keyboard.

In 2P Versus you first pick your players from a Characters screen with ten footballers. Player 1's choice gets a green frame and Player 2's a purple one. The same screen shows the controls:

Player 1: W A S D to move and jump, F and G to shoot.
Player 2: the arrow keys to move and jump, K and L to shoot.

The match is played side-on in a stadium, with a goal at each end. The scoreboard at the top shows P1's goals, a countdown timer and P2's goals. In our game the timer ran down from about 60 seconds and then showed Match End with the final score (ours was 0-1).

One tip from testing: hold the keys down to run. Quick taps hardly move your player.

How to play

Press Play, then choose 2P Versus.
Each player picks a footballer, then press Play.
Player 1 runs with A and D, jumps with W, and shoots with F or G.
Player 2 runs with the left and right arrows, jumps with the up arrow, and shoots with K or L.
Score more goals than your friend before the timer runs out.

Tips

Hold the keys to run. Short taps barely move you.
Jump to head the ball. Your big head is a weapon, not just a joke.
Don't leave your goal empty. With only one player each, a counter-attack is often a goal.
Try both shoot keys. Each player has two of them, so test which one suits your style.
