Free arcade sports game
Armoured contact sport. Free in your browser.
Nine a side. One ball. No referee worth the name.
The ball carries a charge, the walls pay out, and an opponent carried off is worth as much as a goal. It is the last sport the machines cannot price. Take the worst club in the league to a title, or lose everything in two seasons.
Free sports game. Nothing to install, no account, no safety net.
The scoreboard
Violence pays. Literally.
Every figure on this board is a rule of the match. The pitch pays you for the ball, for the walls it hits, and for the opponent who stops getting up.
10
Goal
Through the opposing goal, the ordinary way.
10
Injury
An opponent stretchered off. Same price as a goal.
2
Wall star
Five of them. Light all five and the bonus lands.
2
Bounce dome
The ball comes back off it at an angle nobody chose.
×2
Multiplier
A gauge of lights both sides share. Drag it your way before you run it up.
90s
Per half
Two halves, and a stoppage every time a body goes down.
Five ways in
Pick your season
The same match under five different kinds of pressure.
League
Fourteen match days in a division of eight. Win 10 table points, draw 5, and take a bonus point for every 10 you put on the scoreboard. Winning small still costs you.
Cup
Four rounds of straight knockout. One match per tie, and sudden death if neither side pulls away. A bigger bank, a shorter rope.
Knockout
A ladder of opponents that only gets worse. Nothing is saved, nothing is forgiven: one defeat ends the run.
Practice
The pitch, the ball, the ramps and nobody to stop you. Where curling throws stop being an accident.
Two player
One code, one friend, one match. The two devices run the same simulation and only trade intents. There is no game server anywhere.
The pitch fights back
Everything bolted to the arena wants a piece of the ball
Five families of fixture, all of them in play.
Wall stars
Five lightable targets on the side walls, two points each and a bonus for the full set. The other side can light one back and take those two points with it.
Bounce domes
Floor bumpers worth two points a hit. They also return the ball on a line neither team asked for.
Multiplier ramps
Roll the ball through and the shared gauge shifts one notch your way. Two notches ahead and everything you score counts double, the injury you were about to cause included.
Electro pads and warp gates
A charged ball knocks down whoever it touches. A warp gate takes it off one wall and spits it out of the other, at speed, behind your defence.
Coins and tokens
Coins are worth nothing on the scoreboard and everything in the gym. Tokens buy six seconds where the rules bend: frozen opponents, maxed ratings, a squad nobody can tackle.
Controls
One stick. One button. That is all of it.
Built for a phone held in two hands. On a desktop: the arrows or WASD, and the space bar.
Tap to pass
A quick pass, along the ground, to the player the stick is pointing at.
Hold to shoot
Charge past 65% and the ball leaves in an arc. Keep steering after the throw and it curls.
Off the ball, it tackles
The same button. Speed and power decide whether the opponent stumbles, falls, or leaves on a stretcher.
Selection follows the play
You keep the player you are steering. A teammate who receives takes control the instant the ball lands.
Between matches
The club is a spreadsheet with a body count
Twelve players, eight ratings each, one bank account, and two seasons to make it work. Universal income keeps most people quiet. The rest sign up where violence still pays and the odds are set by humans.
The gym
Aggression costs 5 credits a point, most ratings 10, stamina, speed and intelligence 15. Twelve players and eight ratings is a lot of points to buy.
The transfer market
A star player costs a fee and one of your own. The window opens roughly one week in three, and it is rarely the better deal: building is meant to beat buying.
The bank
A league career starts on 1,100 credits. A win pays 200 in Division 2, 300 in Division 1, 500 for the championship, and the coins on the pitch pay 100 each.
The deadline
Promotion out of Division 2 in the first season, the Division 1 title in the second. Miss either and the career is over. There is no third season to put it right in.
The league
Sixteen clubs. Yours is the worst one.
Two divisions of eight. The Rustbelt Underdogs are bottom of the table with every rating between 28 and 42, and the champions are waiting one division above.
Division 2
Rustbelt Underdogs
Bottom of the table. The club everyone underrates.
Your club
Scrapyard Sentinels
A bodyguard welded from whatever was left.
DEFSTA
Static Wolves
Fast on paper, unpredictable on the pitch.
SPD
Bluecollar Riot
No rare talent. No intention of letting go either.
AGRPOW
Copperline Grinders
A defence that wears you down more than it stops you.
DEFSTA
Dustbowl Raiders
They hit hard, they hit often, they rarely hit right.
POWAGR
Junkyard Howlers
A pack that makes up for experience with spite.
No weak spot
Fringe Circuit
More plans than means to run them.
INT
Under the armour
The same match, worked out identically on every device
Every rule lives in one pure Dart library with no game engine inside it. That separation is what makes two-player possible at all.
Deterministic by contract
A fixed 60 Hz tick, a seeded generator, no wall clock and no platform trigonometry. The same seed and the same inputs produce the same match, to the bit.
No game server
Two-player runs in lockstep between the two devices: both of them simulate the match and only intents cross the wire. Nothing central to go down, nothing to shut off later.
Browser is a first-class target
The whole rules suite runs twice, native and then compiled to JavaScript, against the same pinned expectations. A browser int is a double, so arithmetic that overflows had to be rewritten to survive the trip.
Rendering never decides
The client draws the state and forwards the stick. Every rule that matters lives in the simulation, and it is tested on its own.
The ball is already charged.
It runs in the browser. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for, nothing to buy.
