BLITZ BOWL
How to play
Pick a play — RUN it (Dive / Sweep / Draw) or PASS it (Slant / Post / Bomb) — then hit SNAP. The clock never stops, so call it fast.
Running: drag on the field to steer the ball carrier. 🌀 JUKE spins through one tackle — time it right as a defender closes in and you'll truck straight through him.
Passing: tap A / B / C to throw to that receiver (the throw leads him slightly). Don't force it into coverage — defenders jump routes and pick it off. Hold the ball too long and you eat a sack.
🔥 On fire: a receiver with 2 straight catches catches fire — faster, glowing, and he can't drop anything until he finally misses one.
Arcade rules: 30 yards for a first down, 4 downs, no punts — turn it over and you restart at your own 20. Touchdown = 7 pts, auto extra point.
Two 2-minute halves. The Meteors' defense gets faster, blitzes more, and takes better angles after halftime. Most points wins — chase your best.
Keyboard: WASD/arrows to run, Space to juke, 1–3 to throw to A/B/C.
About Blitz Bowl
Blitz Bowl is a fast, arcade-style American football game — no playbooks the size of novels, just snap, dodge, and sprint for the end zone. Call quick plays, weave through defenders, and rack up touchdowns in short, punchy drives that fit into a coffee break.
The fun is in the improvisation: defenders react to your cuts, so every run is a little different. Chain jukes and stiff-arms together for big gains, and watch the clock — Blitz Bowl rewards aggressive, confident play-calling over cautious grinding.
Quick tips
Cut just before the defender commits — their momentum carries them past you.
Mix run directions; defenders start keying on your habits after a few plays.
Use the whole field — sideline runs have fewer tacklers to beat.
