RIKOGOL

Arcade football stripped down to what actually matters: a ball, a walled pitch, and the people you are playing with.

THE MATCH

Top-down football from 1v1 up to 11v11. No fouls, no offside, no stamina bars, no hidden stats. Every bounce comes out of a physics core written from scratch — no engine physics, no black box — and one host runs the match for everyone, so nobody is playing a different game from you. The goal is yours, never the engine's.

THE HEAD COACH — WHAT RIKOGOL ADDS

One player per team can step off the pitch and coach instead. The coach does not control a player and never touches the ball. What the coach has is the whole field, and four ways to use it:

• Set the formation at kickoff, at half time and after every goal — 1-4-4-2, 1-4-3-3, 1-3-5-2 and more, or drag any player into any slot by hand
  
• Drop pings on the grass: pass, push up, drop back, attention — each with its own sound, so you know which one it was without looking
  
• Draw arrows straight onto the pitch, as many as you want
  
• Call a vote to send someone to the stands when they are wrecking the match — they keep their place in the room, they just stop playing

Nobody is locked into position. The player you named keeper can charge upfield if they feel like it — that is what the drop-back ping is for.

Everything the coach draws is visible to their own team only. The opposing team, the opposing coach and spectators never receive it: the filtering happens on the host, not on your screen.
