Tips and tricks

  • If there is a power meter, release slightly earlier than feels natural; most meters are tuned so that "full" is too much.
  • Timing beats power. Almost every sports game has a "sweet spot" input; find it in practice mode before you play for real.
  • Watch the opponent, not your player. Their movement tells you where the ball or the gap is going to be.
  • Use the whole field, court or track. Players who hug one side become predictable.
  • Because this is a Adventure game, explore side paths early; adventure games hide their best upgrades away from the main route.

Who will enjoy it

We would recommend Joystick Adventure to sports fans, casual competitors and anyone who likes a clear scoreboard. Expect a match in three to five minutes. The learning curve is easy to start, satisfying to master. The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
