Infinite Soccer — Play Free Online

Infinite Soccer is a sports game that runs straight in your browser, with nothing to install and no account to make. You steer a player around the pitch, chase the ball and try to put it in the net, in short sessions that are easy to start and just as easy to put down.

It sits on Doodle Jump's site as a change of pace. Doodle Jump is all about climbing and timing, while this one is about positioning: where you stand, when you commit to the ball and how you use the space in front of you. If you like quick, score-chasing games that you can pick up in seconds, it fits the same mood.

We do not have reliable details about its modes, level structure or any unlockables, so this page sticks to what the game itself tells you when it loads.

How to play

Move with the arrow keys or WASD. The mouse is used to aim and to pick options in the menus. On a phone or tablet the game takes touch input, tapping and swiping instead of using a keyboard.

A round comes down to the basics of soccer: get close to the ball, work it toward the goal and take the shot. Start from the menu, pick what is on offer and play until the round ends. Then decide whether to go again and try for a better result.

Tips

• Get used to how your player turns before chasing the ball hard. Overrunning it is the most common way to lose possession in a simple soccer game.
• Use the mouse for aiming deliberately rather than constantly. A calm, planned shot usually beats a rushed one.
• Pick one hand setup and stay with it. WASD with the mouse feels more natural than arrow keys if you are aiming at the same time.
• On touch screens, keep your thumbs off the area of the screen where the action is happening so you can see the ball.

For another ball game with a sporting feel, try Bouncy Basketball, which swaps the pitch for a hoop. If you would rather stay with the site's jumping roots, Helix Jump and Bird Jumper are quick reflex games. Fireboy and Watergirl is the one to pick for a slower puzzle session, especially with a friend on the same keyboard.

Infinite Soccer suits a short break on a laptop or a phone. It asks for no setup, so you can open the page and be playing within a few seconds.
