Check out my story with Yellow Monkey on YourStory.in

Although I thought otherwise, I was never one of the most agile players on the alma mater’s football grounds. Later, I sought virtual vindication in the PlayStation’s numerous versions of FIFA. Here, I was humbled by those with better handeye coordination. But my fervour for the game – real or virtual – remained undiminished. And now, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve finally found a football game at which I’m good.

Finger Footie, an app designed for the Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, that released on Friday, aims to give you. “It’s intuitive game play — where you can swipe to kick the ball away, and touch a player to pass the ball to him,” explains Shailesh Prabhu, director, Yellow Monkey Studios, a Santacruz- based studio which published and developed it.

‘Finger Footie’ is their first independent effort, a football game that Prabhu claims is the only one that truly utilises the iPhone’s inherent capabilities. “There are several soccer games out there, but their gameplay emulates that of console gaming,” he explains. “They have buttons on the screen which players have to use in the same manner as a console controller. However, we didn’t think this was the most intuitive way to play.”

Never say that indie developers don’t know how to capitalize on a good opportunity when it presents itself as we’ve already seen our fair share of indie games based on the upcoming mage-popular world sporting event known as the World Cup. Finger Footie is no different really, well maybe it is a little bt.


Finger Footie is an indie soccer game being developed for release on June 11th (to coincide with the start of the World Cup). The game is pretty simple, you’re playing soccer after all. But there are some key differences between this game and other soccer-minded games, like FIFA. For one, your using all touch controls. This means you’re swiping to pass and shoot. The game also takes advantage of the iDevice’s tilt capabilities where you’ll physically tilt the device in order to put a nice swerve on the ball.


While I can’t actually comment on the gameplay, I will say that the method of controlling the ball peaks my interest somewhat. Maybe enough so that, in between FIFA bouts and actual games during the World Cup, I’ll actually be willing to play something on my iPod Touch. We’ll just have to wait and find out.


Finger Footie launches on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch on June 11th for a not-yet-disclosed price.
