Instructions

Tap the screen, click the mouse, use any key (except SHIFT, ALT or ESC), or click a button on a gamepad/joystick. First set the angle of your kick, and then set the strength.

Collect all 5 gold coins in each level to unlock the next. Once unlocked, you can play a level at any time.

Hit exploding barrels, springs, balloons etc. to help your ball travel further.

You get “star” currency for every meter your ball travels, for each coin you pick up, for each level you unlock, and for each star coin you hit dotted around the level. Use those coins to purchase other balls with different properties (e.g. some travel further, some bounce more, some have more momentum).

Background

I created the original “KickBall” game as a pure web browser game 10 years ago. A customised version proved very popular at the “WorldSkills Show” in Birmingham in November 2016 where guests at the event were invited to play it and see how far they could kick the ball. It was such a fun game, and so simple to play for everyone that I recently decided to revisit it and completely rewrite it for modern devices. The underlying concept is the same, i.e. choose your angle and strength to kick the ball and use objects to increase your distance, but everything about the game has been improved. The physics and game engine is MUCH better, and the graphics and sound are a lot more professional. You now have 12 levels (instead of just 1) and need to collect the coins dotted around each level to unlock the next one. The in-game “stars” currency now allows you to unlock more balls with different properties adding another element to the game. The original “KickBall” is still available to play online.
