Boot Ball is fast five-a-side football with none of the boring parts: a floodlit night pitch, bouncy walls, and a ball that does what your boot tells it. Hold to charge a kick and release — quick taps thread ground passes, full charges LOFT the ball clean over a defender's head. Power-ups drop on the pitch and change everything for a few seconds: POWER BOOT rockets, TURBO sprints, a MAGNET that glues the ball to your dribble, a FREEZE that slows the other team, and GROW to bully the midfield. Play alone and robot teammates fill both sides; share the room link and it becomes pure PVP — friends drop straight into a running match, and bots make the teams fair when the count is odd. First to five, golden goal on a tie. Set your shirt name in the changing room — it sticks for every game here.
How to play Boot Ball
GOAL — score 5 before the other team, or lead when the 3:00 clock runs out. Tied at full time? Golden goal: next score wins.
DESKTOP — WASD or arrows to run. Your cursor is the aim point. Hold SPACE or the mouse button to charge a kick, release to boot it: tap = fast ground pass, full charge = powerful lofted shot that clears defenders. You slow down a little while charging.
TOUCH — left stick runs, hold KICK to charge (aim = the way you're facing), release to shoot.
DRIBBLE — just run into the ball; it rolls ahead of your boot. Shoulder into opponents to shove them off it.
POWER-UPS — run over a pickup to take it: POWER BOOT (instant full-power kicks), TURBO (speed burst), MAGNET (loose balls pull toward you), FREEZE (slows the whole other team), GROW (bigger body, longer reach).
TEAMS — everyone readies up in the changing room and enters together; joining mid-match drops you onto the smaller side, replacing a bot if one is filling in. First to 5. Wins go on the all-time board.
