In its own words Free Kick Champ requires the following of you: “Take your shot if you can shoot free kicks to surpass the defense. If you play good you will get bonus round.”

A one-man wall might sound easy but it’s a two-dimensional game and it’s actually pretty tough. There’s no possibility of curving the ball. All you can do is lump it, but you do get to control the angle and power of these lumps.
