Haxball was released in 2013 and enjoyed a sizeable audience. Still, the game requires a lot of practice to master, which you are encouraged to do if you’re interested in dabbling in the community’s tournaments and leagues. Teams will need to rely on positioning and coordination to score, which isn’t that hard to do given how simple the game’s mechanics are. Players only have two actions in Haxball: moving and kicking. There are a handful of field designs to choose from. The players are represented by blue and red circles while the ball is a smaller white circle. You’ll be playing the game from a top-down perspective, making it look like a match of air hockey.

But what makes it air hockey? Its presentation. Scoring in Haxball is done the same way in soccer: get the ball into the opponent’s goal.
