Gameplay[]

Screenshot DS Space Soccer

This game involves a Space Kicker who practices juggling a soccer ball by using only his legs. The player must keep the ball aloft by kicking it in time with the rhythm. Four other Space Kickers will also join in sync midway through the game. Frequently, the space kicker kicks the ball up higher while saying "High!" This prompts the player to flick to do a high kick. Successfully doing this produces the line "High, kick-toe!"

Controls[]

  • Tap: Lift knee (Kick)
  • Tap (Hold): Lift knee (Prepare High Kick Toe)
  • Tap (Release): Cancel High Kick Toe
  • Flick: Kick Leg Out (High Kick Toe)

Timing Display[]

  • Perfect!/Ace!: The ball is kicked up and the gameplay smoothly continues.
  • Early!/Late!: Same as Perfect, just the ball is kicked higher or lower in the air depending on it being early or late.
  • Miss...: The ball falls down. Another ball appears at the next measure. If the player flicks too late, the space kicker makes a shocked expression and misses the ball completely.
