Soccer Physics - the best local versus game I've played in years

Soccer Physics mania has gripped the office, with the first inaugural championship tournament concluding minutes ago when @troy defeated @hart 5-3 in an exhilarating final game of their best of 5 contest.

This game is so ridiculously fun. 1 button mode is mostly pure silliness but it allows for a surprising amount of skill and different strategies if you play 2 button mode.

Random modes like American (replaces the soccer ball with a football), huge goals, and no heads make every match different.

It's also completely absurd and funny to watch. It's best played with 2 players and an audience, and would probably make a hell of a drinking game.

I'd like to thank our new Saeco Talea Giro espresso machine in the back breakroom for fueling my aggression during @hart and I's intense final match. Had it not been for you, Saeco Talea Giro espresso machine, I don't know that I'd be where I am today.

The iOS version is definitely worth the $2, if only for the ability to save replays. Some of my finer moments:

Soccer Gymnastics Floor Routine

Save & Score

Nah it's fine I can get by only moving my goalie

Breaking News - there's been an update that adds more uniforms and another random mode called "Acrobatic" where you move both legs when you jump the players are shirtless for some reason:

- @Thumperchick Smart move. I'm wondering what else I could have done with that $2 I spent on this.

I forgot that I found this game because of meh! It's been on the ipad mini for a year now, and my kids (especially my 22 month old daughter) love it! It's one of her preferred apps! She doesn't like to "play" it, so much as to hear the music and press every button she can find (including the back, exit, and options buttons). Good times!

RIP Soccer Physics. http://ottoojala.com/

I hope this gem finds a home in a free arcade somewhere. If anyone knows a place to download for iOS/Android, I’m all ears

- @TheAlmighty1 there are several Android clones out there. Expect lots of ads though.

- @medz It’s also a 32-bit application. So when iOS 11 is released with full 64-bit support, Soccer Physics will no longer run.

- @medz Soccer Physics Clones just aren’t the same. If you do go down that road, I recommend Tipsoccer for Android. It has good gameplay and no ads.

Huzzah! Soccer Physics may be dead but IT IS NOT LOST YET!

Soccer Physics is alive right now by visiting: http://ottoojala.com/soccerphysics/

And to future proof this from a shutdown, go save the page to your computer:
(with a Mac, Ctrl+Click, then Save Page as…) and you’ve got your own archive of Soccer Physics
…if someone can confirm this for Windows it would be appreciated
