About Bicycle Kick Master

Bicycle Kick Master takes the most spectacular shot in soccer and makes it the only shot in the game. There is a defender, there is a keeper, and there is you, upside down, trying to hook the ball over both of them. Nothing else is on the menu.

Cutting out everything but the one move is exactly why it works — no build-up play, no dribbling, just the best three seconds of a soccer highlight reel on repeat.

How to play

Move with the mouse and click to kick. On a phone or tablet, move with your finger and lift your finger to kick — the developer notes there is no need to swipe. Line yourself up with the ball and pick your moment to send the bicycle kick past the defender and the keeper.

Bicycle Kick Master strategy guide

One move, two inputs. On a desktop you move with the mouse and click to kick. On a phone or tablet you move with your finger and lift your finger to kick — the developer specifically notes there is no need to swipe. Lifting is the shot.

Everything else has been cut out. There is no dribbling, no build-up play and no passing. There is a defender, a keeper, and you, upside down, trying to get the ball past both of them. Every shot in the game is an overhead bicycle kick, which is the most spectacular kick in soccer and normally something you see twice a season. Here it is the entire menu.

Get the timing right. Every shot is a bicycle kick, so the moment you click, or lift your finger, is the whole skill. Pay attention to whether your misses come from kicking too early or too late, and adjust in that direction. Once your timing is calibrated it stops being a conscious decision.

Two players to beat. The developer sets you against a keeper and a defender, and a goal has to get past both. Beating the keeper is the part that looks impressive, but a kick that never gets past the defender does not reach the keeper at all, so pick your line with both of them in mind. Aiming at a spot one of them is already covering is wasted effort no matter how good the contact is.

Why it holds up. Reducing a sport to its single best moment is a risky design, and the developer leans into it: cut out all the nonsense and go for the best action on every kick. The move is the whole game, so each attempt is short and the next one is right there. With one move to learn, it is easy to pick up for a couple of minutes at a time.
