Retro Football is a 6v6 arcade football game drawn in sharp HD pixel art. You pick a team, call the plays and try to outscore the other side before time runs out. A full match lasts about 7 minutes. The goal is simple: score more points, then carry your team all the way to the Retro Cup.
More Than a Single Match
Franchise Mode takes you through 17 season weeks. The best teams advance to an eight-team playoff, where the goal is to win the Retro Cup.
You can also use Quick Play to practice or local multiplayer to challenge someone beside you.
Playing Retro Football Guide
How a Drive Works
Pick a card. Offense shows running routes, 13 passing plays, bonus plays and your team’s signature move.
Snap the ball. Press the action key and the play begins.
Choose a target. Hold Up or Down to cycle through your receivers, then throw.
Or keep it on the ground. Find a gap and run. If a tackler dives at you, hurdle him.
Defense works a little differently. You choose from four cards drawn from eight formations.
Scoring System
Touchdown: 6 pts – Run or pass the ball into the opponent's endzone.
Field Goal: 3 pts – Kick the ball through the goalposts on 4th down.
Extra-Point Kick: 1 pt – Successful kick after scoring a touchdown.
Two-Point Conversion: 2 pts – Run or pass into the endzone after a touchdown instead of kicking.
Safety: 2 pts – Tackle an opponent carrying the ball inside their own endzone.
