About Football Crash
You have the ball and a field full of people who want it. The game is the run: pick a gap, commit to it, and reach the end zone before somebody brings you down. Nothing else about the sport is simulated.
The defenders get harder to shake as you go, so the same move stops working after a while. The animation is smooth enough that you can read a tackle coming, which is most of what you have to work with. It runs at 800 by 600 on a phone or a desktop.
How to play
- Take the ball and start your run downfield.
- Steer around the defenders closing on you.
- Find the gap and commit before it shuts.
- Reach the end zone for the touchdown.

Tips
- Move early rather than late. A defender who is already on you leaves no room to go anywhere.
- Do not run straight at a gap. Angle toward it and the defence follows the wrong line.
