Rikogol

RIKOGOL Arcade football stripped down to what actually matters: a ball, a walled pitch, and the people you are playing with. The Projektör update reshapes how Rikogol looks and feels: a night stadium under broadcast floodlights, a live scoreboard with team banners, and a goal sequence with confetti, a camera punch and a flipping scoreboard. The lobby shows team cards with Steam avatars, the Settings menu is now tabbed with colour-palette previews, and every screen transition is smoother. New fonts and a matching icon and store art tie the presentation together — the same arcade football underneath, dressed for broadcast. THE MATCH Top-down football from 1v1 up to 11v11. No fouls, no offside, no stamina bars, no hidden stats. Every bounce comes out of a physics core written from scratch — no engine physics, no black box — and one host runs the match for everyone, so nobody is playing a different game from you. The goal is yours, never the engine's. THE HEAD COACH — WHAT RIKOGOL ADDS One player per team can step off the pitch and coach instead. The coach does not control a player and never touches the ball. What the coach has is the whole field, and four ways to use it: - Set the formation at kickoff, at half time and after every goal — 1-4-4-2, 1-4-3-3, 1-3-5-2 and more, or drag any player into any slot by hand - Drop pings on the grass: pass, push up, drop back, attention — each with its own sound, so you know which one it was without looking - Draw arrows straight onto the pitch, as many as you want - Call a vote to send someone to the stands when they are wrecking the match — they keep their place in the room, they just stop playing Nobody is locked into position. The player you named keeper can charge upfield if they feel like it — that is what the drop-back ping is for. Everything the coach draws is visible to their own team only. The opposing team, the opposing coach and spectators never receive it: the filtering happens on the host, not on your screen. PLAYING ONLINE Steam lobbies and Steam Relay.
