Out now

Available now in Early Access

Rikogol launched on Steam on September 14, 2026. The latest update, the v1.4 Matchday Update, brings goal celebrations, a real half-time break where teams switch ends, and smarter bots in crowded games.

The game

Move. Kick. Score.

Rikogol is arcade football you play online with your friends. Two controls — move and kick — and a physics core that does the rest: every pass, every bounce off the wall, every shot that kisses the post and goes in. No player stats, no dice rolls, no fouls, no offside. Win, and you earned it. Lose, and you know exactly why.

If you grew up on top-down physics football in a browser tab, you already know how to play. Now it lives on Steam — with lobbies, your friends list and a 24-player pitch.

Made for fans of Haxball-style physics football, and for anyone who wants a quick match with friends.

Both teams lined up for an 11v11 kick-off, with the stands full of red and blue fans.

1v1 to 11v11

From 1v1 duels to 11v11 derbies

Settle it one-on-one on a tiny pitch, run quick 3v3s, or pack a huge stadium with 22 players and a Head Coach on each side. Four stadiums, team sizes from 1 to 11, and the room’s rules are yours: score limit, clock, kick strength, password.

24people in one match: 22 on the pitch, a Head Coach on each side

Kick-off in an 11v11 match while a Head Coach picks a formation on the Choose Formation board.

Rikogol’s own twist

Be the Head Coach

One player per team can leave the pitch and run the team from the touchline. Switch the formation mid-match, drop pings on the grass — pass, push up, drop back — and draw arrows only your own team can see.

The other side never receives them: the host filters them out before they leave.

A bot scores: the GOAL! banner names it as confetti flies around the net.

Versus Bots

No full lobby? Play now

Training › Versus Bots is a real match you can play offline, halves and result screen included. Pick a team size from 1v1 to 11v11, the stadium, the score and time limits and the difficulty: Easy, Medium or Hard bots fill the rest of your team and the whole other side.

In online rooms, the host adds bots to either team or switches on “Fill Empty Seats with Bots”, and a friend who joins takes over a bot’s seat on the spot, even mid-match. Bots only ever play on the pitch: they never take the Head Coach seat.

The lobby: two full teams of eleven, with host settings for stadium, team size, score and time limits, kick strength, Head Coach mode and password.

Atmospheres & crowds

Every goal feels like a final

Night floodlights, midday sun, golden sunset, snow or rain: five atmospheres, take your pick. The more players, the fuller the stands — and when the ball hits the net, the fans behind it erupt.

Every player on the pitch carries a name and a shirt number, and the scorer’s name lands on the goal banner. Atmospheres change only your own screen — nobody can make it rain on a rival.
