Sports Games

Sports games shrink a full match into a couple of minutes. Line up a pool shot, score a goal with your national team, time a pole vault or keep a skateboard upright through a tricky course. The rules are the ones you already know, so you can start playing straight away.

Pool, soccer and a few surprises

8 Ball Pool Challenge is the most traditional game here: aim the cue, set the power and work your way through opponents of rising skill. Champion Soccer is a small-sided football match with an optional twist of bombs on the pitch. Pole Vault 3D and Skateboard Master are about one thing done well - timing a jump, or keeping your balance.

Several of these games support two players on one device, which makes them a good pick when a friend is sitting next to you.

Timing beats power

Across nearly every sports game, a well-timed medium shot is better than a badly timed hard one. In pool, softer shots leave the cue ball where you can use it. In jumping games, pressing a fraction early is the most common mistake, so wait a beat longer than feels natural.

Play a practice round without caring about the result. One relaxed round to learn how the controls respond is worth more than five tense ones.
