Controls on a PC
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| W A S D or arrows | Move. Stop next to the ball and put your body between it and the opponent to shield it. |
| Mouse + left click | Aim and strike. A short click is a free pass; hold to add power. |
| E or a short right click | With the ball: pass to a team-mate where you aim. Without it: call for it. |
| Hold right click | Chip: wait for «LOFTED» and release towards the target. |
| Shift | Dash where you are running. Three charges that refill. |
| V · Esc | Switch camera (follow or full pitch) · pause. |
Controls on a phone: two joysticks
Turn your phone to landscape. The left joystick moves your player: near the centre you dribble slowly, push it further and you run. The lightning button next to the right joystick is your dash.
On the right joystick, a tap without dragging is a pass (or a call for the ball when you are far from it). Drag to aim and release to strike; the longer you hold, the harder it goes. For a chip, keep your finger still until you see «LOFTED · AIM», then drag and release. Going back to where you started cancels the strike.

Plays that come from the same controls
- One-two off the wall: aim at the boards and strike; the rebound is physical and beats a defender.
- Into space: send a free strike ahead of your team-mate, not to their feet.
- Pass and move: play a quick pass and sprint; the bot can return it into space.
- Feint: while charging with one mouse button, press the other and nothing comes out. On a phone, go back to the centre of the joystick.
- Shield: stop near the ball and stand between it and the opponent.
Five tips to score more
- Look up: a pass into space is worth more than three dribbles.
- Keep one dash charge for defending; getting back in time is good football too.
- Use the walls: on small pitches the boards are one more team-mate.
- Charge your shot only when you have space; with a defender on you, a quick touch is better.
- Try all eight pitches: every surface changes the bounce and the speed of the ball.
