Looking for a quick arcade game? Football Panda runs in the browser and needs no download. The core of it is football & soccer. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.

About Football Panda

The Football Panda Platformer online game is a great way to pass the time. It is a fast paced game that requires quick reflexes and good hand-eye coordination. The object of the game is to score as many goals as possible in a set time period. There are different levels to the game, each with its own challenges. The graphics are good and the gameplay is smooth.

How to play Football Panda

The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.

Why it is worth playing

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