Gridiron Football, but on the moon

You control one player on a 7v7 team in fast, arcade-style sci-fi football matches, online or in offline practice.

Is Gridiron worth it?

Gridiron is worth it if…

  • you want a football game built around quick reflexes instead of playbooks the size of a phone book
  • you have friends to fill a lobby with, since matches shine most with a full team
  • you enjoy competitive PvP where practice and positioning decide who wins
  • you like short rounds you can jump into and out of in one sitting

Built for playing together

Gridiron works like a pickup game: join a lobby, pick a position, play your role. Matches run up to 7v7, so a full team of friends can queue together, or you can host a private match and fill the field with people you know. There is an offline practice mode too, handy for learning the controls before you face anyone. Rounds are short and the rules are simple, which makes it easy to say "one more" without planning an evening around it. Whether you win or lose, the shared chaos of a low-gravity drive down the field is the point.

Chaosball throws out the rulebook

Chaosball is a 3v3 mode that keeps the ball and drops most of the rules. Anyone can catch and throw at any time, you can bounce the ball off the ground or walls up to three times before a pass counts as incomplete, and you are allowed to catch your own passes. Every pass raises your streak, and a higher streak makes a touchdown worth more, up to 7 points. The catch: hold the ball too long and it explodes in your hands. All of this happens in low gravity, so passes hang and plays go sideways in ways normal football never allows.

Climb the ranks, chase the boards

If rivalry is what you want, the structure is there. Public matches come in casual and competitive flavors, and ranked play lets you climb toward season-exclusive rewards. There is an extensive stats system and a public leaderboard for every position, so a top-100 spot as a receiver is a separate goal from one as a lineman. Cosmetics can be bought or earned through play, and none of them change how the game plays, so a match is decided by positioning and timing, not wallets.

What should you know before playing?

Can you play it solo?

You can queue for public matches on your own, and there is an offline practice mode for learning on your own time. That said, the game is built around teams of up to seven, so going in with friends is the easiest way to get good matches. Be aware that the online playerbase is small, which can make finding a public match take a while.

How long is a match?

Rounds are short, with quick quarters that keep a full game to a tight session. The fast pace means constant action: the ball moves, plays break down, and you are making a decision almost every second. It is a game of short bursts, not long sieges.

What is the ball actually like?

In Chaosball, it is the star. You can throw it at any time, bounce it off the ground or walls up to three times, catch your own passes, and stack a streak that makes each touchdown worth more, up to 7 points. Low gravity makes every throw float, which is half the fun and half the danger.
