Boot That Ball

HOW TO PLAY

JOIN THE #boot-that-ball CHANNEL ON DISCORD

SWIPE

  • Use your finger to swipe through the ball in the direction of the top corner
  • The first part of your swipe will set the direction of the ball
  • The second part of your swipe can be used to add swerve left or right
  • For more control try swiping from behind the ball rather than on the ball

SHOOT!

  • The faster you swipe the higher the ball will go
  • Swipe too quickly and the ball will go over the bar
  • Tap the screen after your shot to take your next shot
  • Every shot is replayed in slow motion if you wait a short time after you score (you can change this in the settings)

SPECIAL SHOTS!

If you swipe down before you shoot you will see the shot selector :

Keep your finger on the screen while swiping down and let go when your finger is over the shot you want. The ball will flash the same colour as your shot type to confirm your selection. Then just swipe through the ball as normal to shoot

There are 4 shot types you can choose and they all behave differently :

KNUCKLEBALL

  • Swipe left or right to move the ball in the air
  • Knuckleballs don't curve like normal shots, they move around with your finger
  • Might get blocked by a free kick wall

    • POWER SHOT

  • Almost no dip and flies very straight through the air
  • Much faster than a normal shot
  • Swerves like a normal shots
  • Almost always blocked by a free kick wall

    • DIPPING SHOT

  • Goes high in the air and drops down just as quickly
  • Will always go over a free kick wall if you shoot just under the bar
  • Faster than a normal shot
  • Swerves like a normal shot

    • SCREW BALL

  • Shoot as normal, the ball will move left and right erratically but will always end up in the same place as a normal shot
  • Faster than a normal shot
  • Might get blocked by a free kick wall, aim around the wall or over the smaller members of the wall

    • TIP: After your initial swipe to shoot, if the ball is still in the air you can do another swipe. See what happens when you do. For example, you can pull down on a power shot to bring the ball under the bar if you shoot too high

    CURVE STRENGTH

    • From version 1.3.0 you can edit the curve strength in the settings screen
    • You can set it all the way to 0 to always have straight shots
    • Or you can set it all the way to 100 to get extreme curve
    • The standard amount of curve is 50
    • Be careful though! The curve strength makes a big difference to the game. You will have to adjust your swipes and you will need to practice
    • Larger curve strengths make the game harder but give you more spectacular goals, and help you beat the wall in FREE KICK mode
    • Once you're used to a larger curve strength going back to 50 will feel like there's hardly any curve!

    POINTS

    • When you score a goal points are awarded according to how close the ball is to the top corner
    • If you score off the bar and post at the same you will score more points
    • If you add a lot of swerve as well you can score up to 4000 points per goal

    FANS

    • You can add a new fan to the stadium after every game
    • You can unlock a new fan type for 100 credits.
      • Once unlocked you can add that fan again and again freely
      • Use different types of fans to make your own unique crowd
    • Each keeper has their own row of fans in the stadium
    • When you score a goal that keeper's fans will celebrate in their own unique way

    FORM

    • After you have played 10 games the game will show you your form
    • Your form is a number, the higher the better
    • Your form is calculated by adding up your best 30 scores from the last 7 days
    • The form screen shows you your best scores in the last 7 days
    • If you score a higher score than the lowest score in your form list, it is replaced by the higher score
    • After 7 days scores will drop off the list, which will reduce your form until you play again

    COMPETE

    • There are online leaderboards for :
      • Your highest score
      • Your highest form value
      • Your highest knuckleball total score
    • On iPhone and iPad there are also recurring leaderboards for :
      • Highest score (reset every day at 20:00 GMT)
