Become A Champion Or Play Against Friends With Pocket Soccer [Android]



pocket soccer androidNo matter what most Americans might have to say, socceris still the most popular sport in the world. With popular sports come popular games, especially for mobile devices. But before you go out into the Play Store and look at the rather large selection of soccer games, which ones are worth trying out? Why not try out Pocket Soccer for your Android device?

About Pocket Soccer

Pocket Soccer is a fun, easy-to-understand game that allows you to pick the country you’d like to play as and face off against the world. It’s not quite like a game you might expect with a full-fledged gaming console, as the game has a slight ping pong feel, but I’ll talk more about that later. In any case, it’s very fun to play and has plenty of features to test your skills and kill some time.

Installation

You can install this game by searching for Pocket Soccer in the Play Store or by following this link with your device’s browser. Once installation completes, you can go ahead by launching the game, and you can immediately start playing!

Main Screen

The main screen offers you the choice of playing against the AI, playing against another person, or running through training exercises. If you hold your finger in the middle of the main screen and swipe to the left, you’ll see some more options, including the option to play a tournament. Swipe again and you’ll be able to access the game’s preferences and other settings.

Training

There are different scenarios in training mode that you can try to master. The wide selection of scenarios is pretty impressive, and are meant to challenge you. After attempting a scenario a couple of times, you’ll see a percentage of successes for each scenario the next time you look at the scenario selection screen.

Countries

If you start a game, after choosing a difficulty level, you’ll get a nice long list of different countries you can choose from. Choosing a country doesn’t affect the difficulty or any sort of abilities, so it’s mainly about who you want to play as and who you want to play against.

Gameplay

Gameplay, like I said, is very fun. Each team gets a turn (the team’s players will appear brighter than the other team’s players) where you can choose one player and swipe them in the direction you want them to go. Your turn ends and other team’s turn begins as soon as you let go of your swiping motion, and all players and the ball will continue to glide around the field. With default settings, the first team to score 10 goals wins, but this can be changed to a different amount of goals or a certain time limit.

Tournaments

As I also mentioned earlier, you can also start a tournament and fight your way to the championship. When you choose all the countries you want in your tournament, the first country will be the one you’d like to play as, while all others will be opponents in the tournament. You’ll then see a tree diagram of the tournament results as you inch your way to the final. Difficulty is in increasing order in this game mode, as you weren’t able to choose a difficulty during the creation of the tournament. This mode is definitely challenging, as I haven’t even made it past the second round!

How To Hide Text In Microsoft Word 2007, Reveal It & Protect It

Sometimes what we hide is more important than what we reveal. Especially, documents with sensitive information, some things are supposed to be ‘for some eyes only’. Such scenarios are quite common, even for the more un-secretive among us. You want to show someone a letter composed in MS Word, but want to keep some of the content private; or it’s an official letter with some part of it having critical data. As important as these two are, the most common use could involve a normal printing job. Many a time we have to print different versions of a document, one copy for one set of eyes and others for other sets. Rather than creating multiple copies and therefore multiple printing jobs, what if we could just do it from the same document?  That too, without the hassle of repeated cut and paste. We can, with a simple feature in MS Word – it’s just called Hidden and let me show you how to use it to hide text in Microsoft Word 2007. It’s a simple single click process. Open the docum...

Build Your Own Awesome Personal 3D Avatar with Avatara

Do you use social networks and want to build your own awesome 3D avatar? Maybe you want to send someone a cute cuddly image of yourself (kind of)? Or maybe you have your own ideas of what you would do with an Avatar… Well look no further than Avatara which I discovered from the MakeUseOf directory . You can create 3d avatars out of pre-set up templates or create your own from scratch. To start, visit Avatara’s homepage . You will see this screen: Click Get Started to umm, get started! That will take you to this screen: You see that you can build your own Avatar using an uploaded head shot like the Obama one above (just an example, guys). Or roll with one of their awesome avatars. I chose to start with a blank avatar by clicking Start with a blank avatar at the bottom of the screen. That takes you to here: I clicked on the filter at the top and told it to filter out everything but male characters and then I saw this: I rolled with Buck and continued. You need to click Select...

Ex-Skypers Launch Virtual Whiteboard Deekit

Although seriously long in the tooth and being disrupted by a plethora of startups, for many years Skype has existed as an almost ubiquitous app in any remote team’s toolkit. So it seems apt that a new startup founded by a team of ex-Skype employees is set to tackle another aspect of online collaboration. Deekit, which exits private beta today, is a virtual and collaborative whiteboard to help remote teams work smarter. The Tallinn, Estonia-based startup is headed up by founder and CEO, Kaili Kleemeier, who was previously a Head of Operations at Skype. She and three colleagues quit the Internet calling giant in 2012 and spent a year researching ideas in the remote team space. They ended up focusing on creating a new virtual whiteboard, born out of Kleemeier’s experience collaborating with technical teams remotely, specifically helping Skype deal with incident management. “Working with remote teams has been a challenge in many ways – cultural differences, language differences, a...
