FREE KICK

A wall in front, a keeper behind. Pick your spot, time the power, put the curve on β€” and bend it round them. Ten levels: further out each time, a bigger wall, a better keeper.

  1. AIM β€” Move the target with the pointer or the arrow keys. Aiming past the wall and bending it back in is the whole game.
  2. POWER β€” The bar sweeps up and down. A hard strike gets there faster but is harder to keep honest.
  3. CURVE β€” The second bar sweeps side to side. The middle is straight, the edges are maximum bend.

How to play Free Kick

The short version

You are behind the ball: a wall in front of you, a keeper behind it. Every strike is built in three steps β€” aim, power, curve β€” and each one asks you to stop a sweeping bar at the right moment.

The strike

  • Aim β€” pick the spot in the goal you are going for. The corners are worth the most and leave the least margin for error.
  • Power β€” lock the bar as it sweeps. Too little and the wall stops it; too much and it goes over.
  • Curve β€” the second bar decides how much the ball bends. It is the only way round the wall; leave it in the middle and the ball flies straight.

Controls

Aim with the mouse or by touch, and lock each step with the space bar or the on-screen button. Keyboard and touch are both supported.

The levels

There are ten levels and each is harder than the last: the range gets longer, the wall gets bigger, the keeper gets sharper. Toward the end, wind comes in and pushes the ball off its line.

The goal is regulation size, and the ball’s flight, the wall’s jump and the keeper’s dive are all resolved the moment you strike. Your best score is saved to your browser.
