Soccer Games in Google Play Store

With the World Cup slowly approaching , the gaming mobile market will be in a frenzy with many new and/or updated soccer games. Millions upon millions of viewers watch the WorldCup, which occurs once every four years. With EA Sports leading the way, they have already released their WorldCup version of FIFA 14. With that being said , I have spent some time playing with other soccer games to see what inventions are really being made and played in today's market.

First Game: "Stickman Soccer" by Djinworks 
This game was rated an 4-star app in Google Play. Stickman Soccer is just about as good as it gets when it comes to mobile soccer games. With players as stickmen, the game is in a lot of ways comparable to a FIFA 14. This game contains smooth, easy game-play. Players move up and down easily, in which it is not hard to get the player in the desired direction. The "pass/shoot" is one the opposite side of the control stick, therefore it is hard to mistakenly hit the wrong button. When making mobile games, developers have to tackle the tough task of making sure that buttons don't overlap or interfere with other buttons. As a manager , you can use any country of choice, and embark on building a dynasty. If you are in search for a very high quality soccer game to download for no cost, consider "Stickman Soccer".


Second Game: Soccer Jump by GameSpill
Looking through the market, I stumbled upon this game titled "Soccer Jump"  by GameSpill. I was fascinated when I first played it because it wasn't a traditional soccer game. In this particular game, there are many soccer players and one soccer ball. The difference is instead of them playing each other, they are standing still. The objective of the game is to get the soccer ball to hit them on the heads and to continue moving upward. As the soccer ball moves upward, so does the screen. As the screen moves upward, the placement of players change. In order to advance, you must move the from left to right in order to move the soccer ball. I recommend this game to anyone, as this game is one of the most fun and addicting games in the soccer mobile market.
