About Octofoot
Octofoot is an arcade 2 player soccer game set underwater, with two little octopuses facing off in a coral-walled pool. A spiral shell waits at the center spot, bubbles drift across the pitch, and the score sits at the top of the screen.
Each player can move, punch and blow a bubble, which gives matches a scrappy, fighting feel rather than a tidy kickabout. Two people share one keyboard: one on the arrow keys and the number pad, the other on W, A, S and D with H and J.
It was made in a single day, so it's small and quick to learn. You can play Octofoot online here with a friend at the same keyboard, or with gamepads.
How to Play Octofoot
- Click inside the game window so it picks up the keyboard.
- Player 1 moves with the arrow keys, punches with numpad 1 and blows a bubble with numpad 2.
- Player 2 moves with W, A, S and D, punches with H and blows a bubble with J.
- On a gamepad, move with the left stick, punch with A and blow a bubble with B.
- Get the ball past your opponent and into their goal to score.
What to Expect in Octofoot
Octofoot is bright and bubbly, with chunky pixel art, coral walls and bubbles drifting over the pitch. The punch and bubble buttons turn each match into a messy little scrap over the ball.
It's a local 2 player soccer game first. There's nothing to grind and no long setup, so it suits a quick match with whoever is sitting next to you. Octofoot free play here works on any desktop browser with a full keyboard.
Tips for Octofoot
- Player 1 needs a number pad. On a laptop without one, plug in a gamepad or an external keyboard.
- Use the punch when your rival gets close to the ball.
- Learn what the bubble does in your first match, since it's half of your moves.
- Agree on sides before kickoff so nobody grabs the wrong keys.
- Play a best-of-five so one lucky goal does not decide everything.
Who Made Octofoot
Octofoot was made by Sparklin Labs, who released it on itch.io. It was built in one day in 2016 with the Superpowers engine. FunClicker embeds the creator's own version so you can play it here without downloading anything. We did not make the game, and the credit for its design, code, and art belongs to its creator. You can find the original on the Octofoot page on itch.io.
FAQ
Is Octofoot free?
Yes. Octofoot is free to play here, with nothing to buy and no account to make. It runs in the browser window above, so you and a friend can click into it, grab your keys and start a match right away.
How do you play Octofoot?
Two players share one keyboard. Player 1 moves with the arrow keys, punches with numpad 1 and blows a bubble with numpad 2. Player 2 uses W, A, S and D to move, H to punch and J for a bubble. Gamepads work too, with the left stick, A and B.
Can two people play Octofoot on one keyboard?
Yes, that's the main way to play. Octofoot splits the keyboard between two players, with one on the arrow keys and number pad and the other on W, A, S, D, H and J. If one of you has a gamepad, that frees up room at the keyboard.
Who made Octofoot?
Octofoot was made by Sparklin Labs in a single day in 2016, built with the Superpowers engine and released on itch.io. FunClicker embeds the creator's own web version, and you can find the original through the link in the section above.
Can I play Octofoot on a Chromebook or phone?
Most Chromebooks have no number pad, which player 1 needs for punching and bubbles. A gamepad or an external keyboard solves that. Phones are a poor fit, since Octofoot needs two people on keys or pads. A desktop with a full keyboard is the easiest setup.
Is Octofoot unblocked at school?
Getting Octofoot unblocked at school comes down to the network. The game runs in a normal browser tab with nothing to download or install, but schools filter sites in their own way, and that filter decides whether it opens. We do not control it.
What is the goal of Octofoot?
Score more goals than the other octopus. Matches are small, quick and physical, with punches and bubbles in the mix, so in practice the goal is winning the scrap over the ball and then finding a way past your rival.
Why does Octofoot use the number pad?
Player 1's punch and bubble buttons sit on numpad 1 and numpad 2, which gives both players room on one keyboard. If your keyboard has no number pad, put one player on a gamepad instead: move with the left stick, punch with A and bubble with B.
