Axis Football League Unblocked — Play Free Online

Axis Football League is a browser American football game. Instead of a fighter or a platform runner, you call plays, move a player on the field and try to outscore the other team over four quarters. It is a different kind of match from the brawlers around it, but it has the same appeal: a short, competitive contest you can start in seconds.

If you landed on this site for Super Smash Flash 2, think of this as the change of pace. A game of football has a slower rhythm than a stock battle, with a moment to think before each snap and then a burst of action once the play begins. Having to read the other side and pick a counter is what keeps it from feeling like another button-masher.

It runs in the browser with nothing to install, so it works on a laptop or Chromebook with a keyboard.

How to play

The control line for this page says: arrow keys move and jump, X or Space shoots in most of these; two-player games put the second player on WASD. That is a generic line shared by many titles on the site, and it does not describe every action in a football game. Treat the arrow keys as movement and try X and Space for the main action buttons. If the game shows an on-screen prompt or a control list in its menu, trust that over this summary.

A typical drive goes like this. You choose a play, the ball is snapped, and you try to move it down the field before you run out of downs. When the other team has the ball, the job flips and you try to stop them. Moving the ball steadily and punting at the right time will serve you better than throwing everything deep.

Tips

• Vary your play calling. If you keep repeating the same play, the computer team will soon be ready for it.
• Pay attention to the down and the distance. A short gain on first down makes the next call much easier.
• Do not panic when you are behind. A game lasts four quarters, and a couple of safe drives can close a gap.

If you want a plain fight with a friend on the same keyboard, Gun Mayhem 2 and Stickman Battle are the closer picks, and Super Smash Flash 2 itself remains the main attraction here.

It suits a break of about a quarter of an hour and players who like to plan a move before they make it.
