ABOUT THE GAME
One player to defend,
one player to score.
A Small World Cup is a physics-based football game published by rujogames. Each team has just one player. Drag your player into the air and bump the ball with their body, aiming to score more goals than the opponent.
BALL IN THE AIR
Tied at three apiece,
the ball takes to the air.
In this screenshot, Japan and Mexico are tied 3-3, with the ball above the middle of the field. Both players stand toward their respective goals, waiting for the ball to come down.

Drag your player and launch them into the air
Hold and drag your player, choose a direction, then release to send them flying. Hit the ball with the player's body to change its direction and aim for the opposing goal.
Attack and defend with a single player
Each team has only one player on the field. Use the same player both to dive toward the opposing goal and to deal with the ball when it comes back into your own half.
