Description

Freekick ’97 is a free retro soccer game about the free kick, from Mekina. Hold to aim, slide to bend, let go. Play as one of Allen’s Swamp Monkeys across a 16-chapter story told on VHS tapes, from an empty zoo enclosure to a 311-supporter stadium. 504 defensive setups, a keeper who learns your side, and more than 100 looks to earn. Built natively for iPhone, iPad and Mac. No account needed.
