Soccer

Score goals using physics-based ball control

About This Mode

Bonkus Soccer reimagines the world's most popular sport as a turn-based physics puzzle. Instead of kings and kill zones, the board features two goals. Your objective: knock the neutral ball into the opposing goal.

Each team controls several balls that act as both strikers and defenders. Set velocity vectors to shoot, pass, block, or clear. The neutral ball behaves like a real soccer ball — it can be redirected, pinballed, and curved through clever multi-ball setups.

Matches play to a target score, and every goal feels earned. Whether you thread the ball through a defensive wall or set up a spectacular multi-bounce goal, Soccer mode delivers satisfying physics-driven gameplay.

Strategy Tips

  1. 1.Use multiple balls to set up passing plays — hit the ball into the path of another ball
  2. 2.Keep at least one ball back on defense to block incoming shots
  3. 3.Aim for bank shots off the walls to curve around defenders
  4. 4.Predict where the ball will end up and position your balls along that path
  5. 5.Sometimes clearing the ball away from your goal is more important than shooting
