When you're going out, sometimes you'll want to go to a game hall for some cards, billiards, or foosball as you can experience in Flip Goal. Foosball tables are quite big but fun and yet here's a game that's shrunk it down for gaming consumption. It's also reduced the size of the table and the table players so there's not so much to take in. Unlike actual football, this game is less intense and more relaxed allowing you to take your time with shots and blocks. You don't even need to know anything about football in order to enjoy this package experience.

About Flip Goal

With the ease and accessibility of video games, all the attractions of game halls can be made digital and foosball is one of the most notable. This game is trying to take it and make it more casual. It was already quite casual, to begin with, but you still needed to find a place near to your location that had a table free. With this game, you can get the feeling of flipping little table players around to kick a ball that will bounce around and go into the opposing goal or even your own.

How to Play

Flip Goal is a 3D football game based on foosball that you can play with the mouse or the keyboard. Your three actions are to aim, kick, and move. You can aim and kick by clicking the Left Mouse Button and moving the cursor. After the initial kick, you can slide your goalie left and right by clicking and dragging. With the keyboard, you can aim/move with the Left/Right Arrow Keys and kick with the Spacebar. The goal is to score enough goals against your opponents.

When the match starts, your players will be with their back toward you and your goalie will start with the ball. Before you kick, you can aim and see the trajectory to try and bounce the ball into the opposing goal. During this and while the ball is live, your players and the opposing players will slide left and right at different intervals. When the ball comes into contact with any of them, they will automatically kick the ball toward the opposing goal. When a goal is scored, your goalie will receive the ball to kick again. If the opponents score too many goals, you'll need to play the match again.

On the main menu, you can choose your team and upgrade your stadium using the gold you get from scoring points. Your stadium determines how much money you'll make in passing and you'll unlock new gear as you win more matches.

Tips and Tricks

Just like with actual foosball, you'll want to carefully consider the angles. With the right timing, you can kick the ball so it will bounce and evade all the players. If there are too many, time the positions of your own players to get the ball to the ones with the clearest shots.
