How to play Football Heads
The rules land within the first few seconds of play. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. Restarting is instant, so there is no cost to experimenting.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move your player |

On mobile: Tap and swipe on screen. Turn your phone sideways — this game is designed for landscape and fills a horizontal screen.
Why it is worth playing
The appeal here is the loop: a short round, a clear result, and an obvious idea about what to do differently next time. Nothing about it assumes you have played it before.
