Halfbrick Sports: Football is gearing up for its release in a few days
  • 3v3 arcade football sim
  • No rules, referees, or goalkeepers - only chaos
  • Releasing via Halfbrick+ on March 20th

Halfbrick needs no introduction with cult hits like Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride under their belt. This time, the studio has forayed into soccer with their upcoming release, Halfbrick Sports: Football. Set to launch soon, it is a real-time 3v3 arcade sim requiring quick reflexes, strategic plays, and of course, scoring as many goals as possible before the clock runs out.

Halfbrick Football isn’t a traditional football sim. There are no referees, no goalkeepers, and no rules slowing you down - just pure, high-energy matches where you dodge, tackle, and pull off slick shots to outmanoeuvre opponents. It doesn’t matter whether you're teaming up with friends or taking on random rivals - a chaotic battle for victory is guaranteed.

You begin by customising your own character by choosing from a myriad of different Halfbrick characters. And that’s not even the only place you’ll find familiar faces. Fans of other Halfbrick IPs will see some characters they know even on the field.

It’s easy to learn but is packed with a tonne of depth as the arcade football brawler delivers fast matches that keep the action moving. Lobs and jumps are automatically handled, letting you focus on positioning and well-timed tackles to outplay opponents.
