Games Like Dead Ball Specialist

The ball is still. Everyone is looking at you.

Dead Ball Specialist takes football's densest moment — the few seconds when play has stopped and every eye is on one player — and builds an entire game there.

Five modes, one idea

Free Kick (first-person taker) — Magnus curve, knuckleball wobble and wind are all simulated. Bend it round the wall or float it over. Goalkeeping (first-person keeper) — Time slows the instant the shot leaves. The shooter's body tells you the direction before the ball does. Corner Kick (over-the-shoulder striker) — Beat your marker to the drop zone, then finish inside the sweet-spot window. Corner Defence — Catch it, punch it, or clear it. League Career — Real-time 11-v-11 matches across seven divisions. When a free kick is awarded the match freezes and you take it yourself.
