Tux Football – 2D football game

Tux Football is a fun arcade-style 2D football game which is very reminiscent of the classic games, Sensible Soccer and Kick Off.

Game play is designed to be quick, responsive and fun. You are always in control of the player closest to the ball. The ball is controlled via two kick buttons – one for passing, and one for shooting.

Aftertouch can be applied to shots by quickly pressing and holding the direction you want the ball to bend towards. Pushing in the opposite direction to what you kicked the ball makes it raise into the air, pushing in the same direction as the ball makes it dip towards the ground.

Features include:

  • Two Teams.
  • Pass, Kick, Tackles, Headers.
  • Aftertouch.
  • Boundary detection (i.e. we know when throw ins, goals, etc. happen).
  • Realistic physics on the ball, including bouncing off goal posts.
  • Sound Support, including sound effects and music.
  • Computer controlled players.
  • Redefining keys, selecting number of players.
  • Title Screen, With menu.
