Pill Soccer: Two Players, One Keyboard, Silly Physics
📚 Guide: Head Ball Games: Free Head Soccer and Sports
What is Pill Soccer?
The footballers here are shaped like capsules, and a physics engine decides what they do next. Jump, swing a leg, block the lane. The clumsy control is the joke, not a flaw. In two player mode a friend takes the other half of the keyboard.
How to play
Player one jumps with the up arrow, runs with left and right, and kicks with P or the down arrow. Player two jumps with W, moves with A and D, and shoots with S. Contact angle decides where the ball goes, so a hard swing does not guarantee a goal. Often it is enough to block the lane and shove the ball towards the net with your body. Whoever leads when the clock runs out wins the match.
Controls
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Up / Left / Right arrow | Player 1: jump and move |
| P or Down arrow | Player 1: shoot |
| K | Player 1: super bonus |
| W / A / D | Player 2: jump, left, right |
| S | Player 2: shoot |
Tips
- Near the net, shove the ball with your body instead of swinging. The loose physics tends to help you.
- Do not waste jumps. You cannot change direction mid-air and your rival takes the open space.
- In a two player match, never abandon your own goal. One step back is enough cover.
Frequently asked questions
Can you play it alone?
Yes. You can take single player matches, or share the keyboard with a friend in two player mode.
Can you play it on a phone?
Both sides are driven by keyboard keys, so a desktop or laptop suits this one best.
