Racoon Headball

Head-football games compress the sport to two players and a bouncing ball, and the recurring lesson is that timing your jump matters less than being under the ball when it arrives. A mistimed jump commits you to a position you then cannot leave, while staying grounded and mobile lets you track the bounce and choose contact. Because both players have the same reach, points come from directing the ball where the opponent is not, and the contact point on your head sets that direction. Recovering to a central position between exchanges keeps both sides of the pitch reachable.

This title is best suited to players who want a fast head-to-head sports game decided by positioning.

1. Position under the ball rather than jumping speculatively for it.
2. Stay grounded and mobile so you can track the bounce.
3. Direct headers to where the opponent is not, using your contact point.
4. Recover to centre between exchanges.

• Left and right to move
• Up or a key to jump
