Football Bros — arcade gridiron, free online
Football Bros strips American football down to running, tackling and one very busy action key. Get to the end zone; stop the other side doing the same.
How to play
Move with the arrows or WASD and use the space bar for everything else — passing, tackling, diving and kicking, depending on the situation.

Tips & tactics
01Dive early on a tackle. Space contact is generous but the timing window is not.
02Run sideways to draw defenders out of position before turning upfield.
03A touchdown is six points, so a risky run beats a safe stop most of the time.
04On defence, cut off the angle to the end zone rather than chasing directly.
