About Tux Football
It's bringing old style gameplay from DOS times back to the desktop with
up to date graphics! It's gameplay is similar to old classics such as
Amco's Kick Off and Sensible Software's Sensible Soccer.
The gameplay is designed to be quick, responsive and fun. You are always
in control of the player closest to the ball. The ball is controlled via
two different kick buttons - one for pass, and one for shoot. Aftertouch
can be applied to shots by quickly pressing and holding the direction you
want the ball to bend towards. Pushing in the opposite direction to what
you kicked the ball makes it raise into the air, pushing in the same
direction as the ball makes it dip towards the ground.
