What is Football Heads?
Football Heads is a free arcade soccer game where you control a big-headed character in fast one-on-one matches — bounce, kick, grab power-ups and out-score your opponent.
Built on the Phaser engine, it keeps things simple and chaotic: two outsized heads, one ball, and a goal at each end. Quick reflexes and well-timed kicks decide it.
The extras give it personality — power-ups drop in mid-match, you unlock upgrades by winning, and an emote system lets you taunt and celebrate.
Playing Football Heads
- 1Move your head
Use the arrow keys to run left and right and to jump for the ball.
- 2Kick to score
Press the space bar to kick — timing your swing as the ball arrives sends it harder and more accurately.
- 3Grab the power-ups
Items drop onto the pitch during a match; collect them for an edge over your opponent.
- 4Win to upgrade
Winning matches unlocks upgrades that carry into future games.
- 5Express yourself
Use the emote system to celebrate goals and get inside your opponent’s head.

How to win at Football Heads
Time your kick to contact. A kick swung just as the ball reaches you carries far more power than a wild early swing.
Win the high balls. Jump to meet the ball at its peak so you strike down into the goal rather than up into the keeper’s reach.
Race for power-ups. When an item drops, beating your opponent to it often matters more than the next shot.
Don’t over-commit. Leaving your goal open to chase the ball is how big heads concede — recover to the middle after each attack.
Stack your upgrades. Keep winning to bank upgrades that make later matches noticeably easier.
Good to know — Football Heads pairs the classic big-head soccer formula with an emote system and a win-to-unlock upgrade path, so matches build into a longer progression rather than one-off games.
