They hurt Dave! They are gonna get it!

Defend Dave. Block every ball headed his way.

Use A and D to move.

Aim at the enemies. Then left-click the instant the ball makes contact with you.

And be careful—the referee is watching.

And he is not on your side! Kick only when he’s not looking.

There is a 'Levels' mode and a 'Normal' mode. High Score made only on Normal mode count towards leaderboards. In Normal mode, the difficulty gradually increases from 1 to 100. (100 level at 8000 score). In Levels mode, the difficulty will remain same.
