iOS (iPhone/iPad) Critic Reviews

It's incredibly fun to leave the goalie eating grass while your soccer ball soars perfectly into the net. You'll constantly be trying to beat your last high score, or you can use Game Center's online leaderboards to see how your flicks compare to others.

A title-winning performance from Full Fat - this is flicking brilliant.

Using targets, bonuses, and a variety of game modes, Flick Soccer! has plenty of enjoyable content to keep us bending it like Beckham for months to come.

Flick Soccer is a ton of fun, easy to play, and easy to get lost in. This is definitely one of my new favorite iOS games.

My only criticism is its price – while I hate quibbling over bucks, $5 does feel a bit steep. Then again, I bought the app with my own cash, and so far I've spent hours on it – so I can't complain too loudly.

Much like Flick Golf!, Flick Soccer! manages to capture some of the essence of the original sport while giving it a fun arcade spin. Be careful because your time can easily melt away with this one.

If you haven't already given yourself carpal tunnel syndrome playing these games, then Flick Soccer is a great place to start. It's hardly a masterclass in reinvention, but just like Flick Golf, the tough part is finding the time to stop playing.

Is it better than Flick Kick Football? It lacks the purity of Pik Pok's original, and isn't nearly so charming. But where Flick Kick lapses into formula after you reach a high enough score, Flick Soccer gets even more challenging – and in full flow, it can provide a magical experience.

Another solid – though not groundbreaking – entry.
