About Football.io
Simple and addictive game where you collect yellow balls running among the white ones. You got to be quick! Random bonuses can give you speed, replenish lost lives, slow down or weaken enemy balls. And don't get fooled by transparent balls!
How to play Football.io
Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table. It fills the player in landscape, so use the fullscreen button on desktop and turn your phone sideways on mobile. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.

Why it is worth playing
Plenty of arcade games want a tutorial and ten minutes of setup before anything happens. Football.io does not — it is playable from the first second. That is a rarer quality than it sounds.
