Game overview
Footstar splits a shot into two decisions. Your first click sets the direction the ball will travel, and the second sets how hard it is struck, so a good attempt means committing to a line and then finding the power that matches it. Stars sit in the awkward parts of each level, which turns a simple shooting game into a route-planning one as the layouts get busier.
This title is best suited to players who like precise two-step aiming puzzles.
