I saw this app as the #2 most popular free app, so I had to give it a try. I played a bunch of paper football with my friends growing up during lunchtime so I figured I would give it a go.
The game play is simple. You “push” or “flick” the paper triangle in attempt to get it to hang over the table. If it goes too far you lose a turn and if you don’t quite make it to the edge it is the opponent’s turn.
If you are successful, you get to kick an extra point, which pretty much just means more intense flicking.
You have the option of playing a full game or just kick extra points. If you choose a full game, you get 2 options, easy or tough. In both modes the first team to 40 wins. Obviously on my first try I played on easy and won by 13. On my second try I played on the tough level and won by 33.
So the game really isn’t that difficult, and honestly really not that fun unless you are kicking extra points. However, sometimes kicking extra points can be a pain because the screen doesn’t always register the motion of your finger correctly. One time I felt my kick should have been good but the football flew off the screen.
I have to rate this game 2/10. I played it probably 10, 15 minutes tops and it just doesn’t have longevity. It’s cool at first because it is slightly nostalgic, but beyond that it gets boring fast. The controls don’t always work and there is a floating (annoying) ad in the way the whole time. Just because it is popular doesn’t mean it is good. Pass on this one.
