Footchinko

The pitch

Challenge your rivals in the most famous soccer international tournaments. Are you skillful enough to fulfil your trophy case through the +90 levels of the game?

Controls & how it runs

Tap or click anywhere on the screen to kick the ball toward the opponent's goal. Time your shots carefully to avoid obstacles and beat the goalkeeper. Aim accurately and react quickly to score as many goals as possible. Each successful shot increases your score, so keep shooting and challenge yourself to achieve the highest score.

Getting a run going takes exactly one press: Press start, up top, and the game boots inside this page — nothing downloads in the background and no form wants your details before the first jump. The cabinet is drawn for a portrait (upright) screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. This cabinet stands tall: it was built for portrait screens, so a phone held upright gives it the frame it wants — though it will squeeze politely into any window. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.

Do I need to install anything first?

Nothing whatsoever. Footchinko is an HTML5 game: hit the start button and it boots on this page, and shutting the tab sweeps the cabinet clean behind you.
