Amazon's Free App of the Day - Flick Kick Football

written by: Nick Kosmides


The title may be misleading for most American's because this is not American football, its soccer in fact.  Flick Kick Football is free today on the Amazon Appstore.

Many reviewers are reporting a great game, at least the first time it was loaded.  Upon loading it the second time they were confronted with endless force closes.  Now I've played this thing once so far and am extremely compelled to boot it up again to see about these force close stories.

As for the app itself, it has an arcade style to it that will keep you entertained for minutes to come.  It is not Zenonia, and I've said that before about other apps I know, but there is something about kicking a soccer ball past randomly placed cardboard cutouts of soccer players and moving goalies that keeps me coming back for more.

I've played Flick Kick Field Goal and had an awesome time with it.  Varying up the distance from the field goal and shifting winds brings the same sort of arcade draw to it.  And the one thing that both of these games have that I've said over and over is the major omission in most games, Open Feint for achievements and social gaming.  Love it.

Anways, recommended download but don't be surprised if it doesn't last past the first playthrough.
