Joel lines up a volley in a one-on-one match at Skycourt Stadium

Joel Football is one-on-one arcade football with oversized heads, a ball that never sits still, and ninety seconds to prove you’re the best in the family. You run, jump, head it, lob it, dash with a double tap and, when you get it right, pull off a bicycle kick that sends the ball screaming into the net.

It started as a game for Joel, and then the family wanted in. Every player on the roster is a real person from the house: siblings, cousins, uncles, Mum and Dad. Pick Dad, lose to someone half your height, learn humility.

Superpowers, paid for in maths

The Power Lab is where the cheat codes live, except they aren’t cheats. To charge a superpower you answer a quick question: a two-digit sum, a times table, an exact division. Get it right and you walk onto the pitch with a Fireball ready to go. Get it wrong and the lab locks for five minutes. Kids figured out quickly that the times tables are worth learning.

Two more games in the box

Kickfall is a twenty-level space course where trapped balls are waiting to be kicked free. Disc Hockey is fast top-down air hockey with a two-player mode on the same screen and a Crazy Mode where you face four rivals at once.

No ads. No purchases. No accounts. Your progress stays on your device.
