Football

American Football Challenge is a fast arcade run-and-score game: pick your gaps, juke defenders and pile up touchdowns.

About American Football Challenge

American Football Challenge is a lean, quick game from the team behind the Legends sports series. You get the ball behind your line, defenders pour through, and you have a few seconds to find the gap. Speed, a well-timed juke and a sense for where the pursuit is going get you to the end zone; hesitation gets you tackled.

Rounds are short and scoring is the whole game, so it suits a five-minute break. A run of clean touchdowns turns the pace up quickly.

How to Play American Football Challenge

  1. Take the ball at the start of each play.
  2. Run through the gaps in the defense as they open.
  3. Juke a tackler who has you lined up.
  4. Score to keep the run going; a tackle ends it.

Controls

  • Arrow keys or WASD: move the ball carrier.
  • Space: juke.
  • Touch: drag to run and tap to juke.

Tips and Tricks

  • The first two defenders are the dangerous ones; get past them and the rest are chasing.
  • Juke toward open field, not away from a defender.
  • Keep moving forward. Running sideways gives the pursuit time to close.
  • The end zone is wider than you think; you do not need to run straight.
