About Spooky Soccer

Football played by ghosts: the Spectral Strikers against the Goalie Ghouls, with you as a ghost who meddles in the match.

You do not control the players directly. Your ghost floats over the pitch and uses four powers, each with a cooldown: Musicbox puts nearby players to sleep, Scare makes the ball carrier shoot, Promote boosts a player, and TNT knocks everyone over. Up to four people can play.

How to play

Controls: The D-pad moves your ghost, A pulls the ball toward you, Select changes power and B uses it.
