About World Cup Soccer Caps
Anyone who has pushed bottle tops around a kitchen table will recognise the format immediately. Your team is a set of discs on a flat pitch, and you move them by dragging back and releasing, exactly as you would flick one with a fingernail. The ball travels only when a cap hits it.
That makes it a game of angles and follow-through rather than reflexes. A good shot often begins two turns earlier with a cap nudged into a position where it can reach the ball at all. Playing another person across the same screen suits it, since the turn-based rhythm gives you time to see what they are setting up.
How to play
Select one of your caps, drag to choose both the direction and the strength of the flick, and release. The cap slides, collides with whatever is in its path and comes to rest. Get the ball into the opposing goal to score, then keep going until the match ends.
Controls
- Click or tap a cap, drag to set aim and power, release to launch it.
- Identical on desktop and touchscreen, and comfortable on a phone or tablet held sideways.
Tips
- A soft flick that leaves a cap covering your goalmouth is often worth more than a wild shot at theirs.
- Aim through the ball at the goal, not at the ball itself — contact angle decides everything.
- Use rebounds off the side walls when a direct line is blocked. The physics are consistent enough to plan with.
