What is Endzone Kings?

Endzone Kings is a 3D arcade football game you play right in your browser, made by Habir Studios. There's nothing to download or install, and nothing to pay for. It's built to feel like a big primetime broadcast: a packed stadium under the lights, a crowd that goes wild on big plays, a play-by-play announcer, and a TV-style scoreboard.

The league

There are 32 teams, each named after its city, and every roster is full of made-up players with real ratings. Speed, hands, arm strength, accuracy, elusiveness, blocking, pass rush, tackling and coverage all change how a player moves and what he can do. A fast receiver really does run past slow corners, and an accurate quarterback really does hit the window.

Calling plays

Every team has its own offensive and defensive playbook built around a coaching style, like an air raid passing attack, a ground-and-pound run game, a West Coast short-passing scheme, a blitz-heavy defense, or a zone defense that takes away the deep ball. Each team also has a signature play you won't find in anyone else's book. Offense is split into quick passes, deep shots, runs, play action, screens and special teams. Defense is split into man coverage, zone coverage and blitzes.

On the field

You control the action on every snap. On offense, throw to your receivers with 1, 2 or 3 (or just click them), then juke, spin, stiff-arm and hurdle your way upfield after the catch. On defense, switch to any player, jump the route and play the ball for the interception, or dive at the ball carrier. You can kick field goals, punt, run fakes, kick the extra point or go for two. If it's tied at the end of regulation, overtime is next score wins.

It plays with a keyboard and mouse on a computer, and with an on-screen joystick and buttons on a phone or tablet.

Game day

Every game can be played in clear skies, rain, snow or fog, during the day, at dusk or under the lights. Rain makes the ball slippery and snow slows everyone down. At the half you get a halftime show with team stats and each side's leaders. Referees are on the field and throw flags for holding, pass interference, false starts, offsides, roughing the passer and facemasks. Big plays swing the momentum meter, and the team that owns it plays a step faster. Between plays you can watch an instant replay, and every game ends with a Player of the Game and the night's highlights.

At the line

After you pick a pass play, press H to change any receiver's route on the spot: send him deep, cut him inside, break him out or sit him down. You can keep the running back in to block too. Pick your own touchdown celebration in Settings, with more unlocking as you level up.
