\"\"<\/a>Do foot tricks with a soccer ball and nothing else in Kickerinho World.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

When you start, you\u2019ll use the L and R trigger buttons to bounce a soccer ball on your left or right foot or knee.\u00a0 You have to time it just right to keep in in the air.\u00a0 Kind of reminds me of hackey sack, too.\u00a0 Once you do this enough times, you can do a trick.\u00a0 These including holding the ball on your foot for a while, or bouncing it on your head.\u00a0 These tricks require more complicated button movements, like holding down the L or R buttons or pressing both together.\u00a0 As you play, you\u2019ll earn coins which you can use to buy more goodies.<\/p>\n

In the main menu, you can select to play the game, or other things.\u00a0 Toggle sounds and language in options, or pick different backgrounds in Travel.\u00a0 Some locations you may have to buy with coins.\u00a0 You can also use coins to buy things to customize your in-game player.\u00a0 You can choose different hairstyles, shirts, pants, shoes, soccer balls, and skin color.\u00a0 Again, some of these things you need coins to buy.\u00a0 You can also buy power-ups in the shop, which makes doing tricks easier, or even buy new tricks.\u00a0 And finally, you can view \u2018quests\u2019 or goals and leaderboard scores online.<\/p>\n

My main problem with the game is that when you learn a new trick, they\u2019ll give pictures cues to help you with timing, like diminishing circles or meters to let you know when to tap or hold the buttons.\u00a0 But when you play regularly, you don\u2019t get any of that, which makes it nigh unplayable.\u00a0 Plus you can tell this was originally meant to be a simple time wasting mobile game.\u00a0 Probably would\u2019ve been better as a mini-game in a real soccer title.<\/p>\n
