Paper Soccer Paper Soccer is a turn-based logic game played between two players. Its an implementation of the classic pencil and paper.
The game starts on an empty field of (usually) 8?10 boxes, with goals of two boxes wide as shown in the picture. In the beginning, a ball is drawn in the center of the field, on the crossing of the paper lines. Players move the ball in turns and aim to place it in the opponent's goal.
In one turn, the ball may be moved into one of the eight paper line crossings around it (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) and a segment from the original position to the new one is drawn to mark the move. The ball may move neither on the game field border nor on the segments marking the previous moves - instead, it "bounces" from them, and a player who moves the ball into a position where there is already an end of a segment or a game field border gets another turn.

Finger Football Game Here's a project I worked on back in 2008 for Manchester United. I was illustrating assets for a CD-ROM and came up with this idea for a fun downloadable Paper Foldable soccer game. The original idea was to have a single "finger footballer" character that you can slip onto your pointer digit and use it to try and flick a piece of popcorn into your friend's mouth hole. They liked the idea and we expanded it into a full-on desktop game complete with goalie, ball, and net! One player uses his finger footballer to try and flick the ball into the net, while the other controls the goalie to try and block the shot (you may have to tape the net down to your desk). I also made an animation demonstrating all you need to know to get started!
