Heads Arena: Soccer All Stars

Poki lists Heads Arena: Soccer All Stars under sports, with football, 2-player and multiplayer among the tags. The characters have oversized heads and the pitch is small, so the game is more about timing and positioning than about long passes.

Your aim is to put the ball in the net and win against different national teams. You walk, you jump to meet the ball with your head, and you shoot when it is close. Because the pitch is small, the ball is rarely far away, and a match can turn on one well-timed jump.

On a keyboard, the Left and Right arrows walk, the Up arrow jumps and Space shoots. On mobile, Poki lists on-screen buttons that do the same. Poki also tags the game as 2-player, so it can be shared with a friend.

Big-head football keeps the rules of football simple and makes the ball easy to reach. With the heads oversized and the pitch small, most of the play happens close to goal, and headers matter as much as shots. It was first released in March 2019 and last updated in June 2022, so it is an older game, and an easy one to explain to a friend sitting next to you.

Before you open Heads Arena: Soccer All Stars, it is worth knowing what to expect from the page on Poki. Poki lists it as made by Poki Studios, last updated in June 2022, and playable on computer, phone, tablet. It does not state an age rating, how long a session lasts or whether you need an account, so this page leaves those open too. The game opens on Poki, in a new tab, from the link at the foot of this page.

Same actions on phone or tablet

• Keep your feet moving, but do not jump too early. A jump that comes before the ball arrives leaves you in the air with nothing to hit.
• Use headers when the ball is high and shoot when it is low and close. Learning which suits which saves a lot of missed chances.
• Stay between the ball and your own goal when you are not attacking. On a small pitch there is little time to recover.
• Practise the timing of Up and Space together. A jump followed by a shot is where most goals come from.

Football fans, and anyone looking for a quick match with simple controls. It also works for two people playing together.

• Timing is everything, and the first few matches may feel hard until the jump and the shot feel natural.
• Poki, which hosts the game, may show adverts around it. They belong to Poki and not to this site.
• It was last updated in June 2022. The game is simple, and that may be too simple for players who like depth.
