About this game

Have a Kickabout in your backyard 🏡⚽

Experience the thrill of kicking the ball about in your backyard! Backyard Kickabout is a VR experience where you tackle challenges, master skills, and compete with AI opponents, all with boots strapped to your hands (or feet)!

Game Modes:

Soccer Tennis: A fast-paced duel where you go toe-to-toe with AI opponents, playing a backyard-style soccer tennis match. It’s you, your boots, and the AI’s fancy footwork, racing to 11 points in a battle of volleys, flips, and fancy saves. Each win brings you closer to new pairs of stylish boots that’ll show off your skills!

Skill Games

Target Practice: Precision is key here! Your mission: boot the ball into as many scattered bins as possible before the timer runs out. Earn points for distance, style, and accuracy.

Defend the Car: Protect Dad’s prized car from a barrage of soccer balls launched by three AI hooligans! Let three hits slip through, and the car’s going up in flames—and you’ll have to answer to Dad!

Keep Ups: How many keepy ups can you do with your AI partner before the ball hits the grass? The goal is simple, but the stakes are high as the challenge ramps up with each successful volley.

Take your skills to new heights, rack up XP, and unlock wild new boots that’ll make every game a backyard spectacle. So what are you waiting for? Get those boots on your hands, step into the yard, and kick back with Backyard Kickabout!
