A forward kick must be caught before it hits the ground. Play against the CPU or share the pitch with a second local player. Pick five starters and two reserves, then manage the boosts each player has left.

22.09.2026 - C64 game 'Tricky Tetris' released
'Tricky Tetris' is a Tetris game that plays tricks on you. It has everything you would expect from Tetris: falling pieces, levels, hold, line clearing, high scores and increasingly fast gameplay. But there is one important difference: the game occasionally plays tricks on you. Your controls may suddenly change, the entire playfield can flip upside down, rotate sideways or even appear as a diamond. Sometimes gravity simply becomes much faster. Survive the chaos and you are rewarded: all points are worth 5× while a prank is active. You can get the game as digital download for a bargain (name your own price) to support the developer.
