Play Soccer Kid Online

Soccer Kid came out on the Game Boy Advance in 2002, developed by Krisalis Software. It was a time when handhelds were full of inventive platformers, and this one stood out by putting a soccer ball at the center of everything. You control a young boy whose World Cup trophy has been shattered and stolen by aliens, sending you on a quest across the world to get the pieces back.

You navigate the boy through screen-by-screen levels, using a single soccer ball for almost everything. You dribble it to build speed, kick it to defeat enemies, and bounce on it to reach higher platforms. The main objective is to explore each stage, find the exit, and recover a piece of the trophy, all while solving environmental puzzles that often require careful ball control. The pacing is deliberate; you can't just rush ahead, because if you lose your ball you have to backtrack or wait for it to respawn, which adds a layer of strategic tension. It feels clever and physical, like solving problems with a well-placed kick.
