Goal: score more goals than the other team before time runs out. Run into the ball to knock it around; hold the kick key while touching it for a real, aimed strike in the direction you're facing.

Controls: WASD or Arrow keys to move, Space to kick (Local 2P: Player 2 uses Arrows + Right Shift). P or Esc pauses offline matches.

Modes:

• Single Player — you control one player, AI fills the rest of both teams.
• Local 2P — two players share one keyboard.
• Host/Join Online — real-time matches over a shareable room code, 1v1 up to 5v5, AI fills empty slots.
• Tournament — up to 8 teams register in one room and get randomly bracketed into a single-elimination tournament; after elimination you can spectate any of the ongoing matches.

This game was made by AI — but the idea came from humans.
