Gravity Soccer — Play Free Online

Gravity Soccer is a browser sports game that takes the familiar idea of a quick soccer match and runs it through a physics-driven twist, as the name suggests. It loads straight in the page, with no download and no account, so you can go from clicking the tile to kicking off in a few seconds.

It is built with Construct 2, the HTML5 engine, which fits the way it feels: small, light and meant for short sessions. That makes it a natural pick for someone who has just finished a few attempts at Doodle Jump and wants something different to do with the next five minutes, without learning a complicated set of rules.

There is not much public documentation about this particular title, so this page sticks to what the game itself tells you rather than guessing at modes, level counts or unlockables. Treat it as a pick-up-and-play sports game and judge it by a match or two.

How to play

On a computer, move with the arrow keys or WASD. The mouse is used to aim and to pick options on the menus. On a phone or tablet, you tap and swipe instead. Start from the menu, choose what the game offers, and get going.

The aim, as with any soccer game, is to get the ball into the goal more often than your opponent does. Since the twist is gravity, expect the ball and players to behave differently from a standard pitch, so the first minute is best spent learning how things move before you go for a goal.

Tips

• Spend your first match just watching how the ball bounces and falls. The physics are the whole point, and a few minutes of observation beats rushing in.
• Pick a hand position and keep it. Arrow keys with the mouse in your other hand, or WASD with the mouse in your right hand, are both comfortable. Switching mid-match costs you a goal.
• If you are on a touch screen, rotate to landscape so your thumbs have room and the field stays visible.

Similar games on Doodle Jump

Bouncy Basketball is the closest relative on this site, since it is also a sports game where a bouncing ball and floaty physics decide who scores. Helix Jump swaps sport for a falling-ball arcade challenge, and Bird Jumper is a simpler one-button jumper in the spirit of the headline game, Doodle Jump.

It suits short breaks, a quick match between other things, and anyone who likes arcade sports with a bit of physics comedy.
