Wobble Cup is a free browser sports game for two players on one keyboard or touchscreen. Each player controls two ragdoll athletes with one button. Time their hops and swings in soccer, basketball, and volleyball, or enter the five-match Solo Cup against computer teams.
Key Takeaways
- Wobble Cup is a one-button ragdoll sports game: Player 1 presses W, Player 2 presses Up.
- Three sports in three venues: soccer (Football in the menu) in a stadium at sunset, basketball on a street court at night, volleyball on a sunny beach.
- From the second point on, every point brings a random twist: ice rink, moon gravity, giant ball, tiny ball, gale, big heads or heavy ball.
- Playing alone? The Solo Cup is five matches against computer teams that get sharper every round.
- On phones and tablets, Player 1 taps the left half of the screen and Player 2 the right half.
A 2 player game with one button each
The whole control scheme fits in one sentence: tap your key and both of your athletes hop and swing at the same time, hold it and they keep the swing up. In soccer they swing a leg. In basketball and volleyball they swing both arms.
The athletes lean, fall, and get back up. A hop follows the direction they are leaning, so repeated tapping can send them away from the ball. Watch their stance and try to time the next swing as the ball comes within reach.
Before starting a match, agree who uses W and who uses Up. Each key controls the whole team, so both players can learn the basic timing during the first point.
Three sports, three venues
The same wobbly athletes play three different sports:
- Soccer, labeled Football in the menu, in a stadium at sunset. A goal counts when the ball is fully inside the net.
- Basketball on a street court at night. A basket only counts when the ball drops down through the rim.
- Volleyball on a sunny beach. A point goes to the side whose opponents let the ball touch the sand.
In versus mode you pick one sport or Mix, where the sport changes after every point. The first team to five points wins.
Random twists keep every point fresh
From the second point of a match, each point gets a random twist:
- Ice rink: everyone slides.
- Moon gravity: long, floaty jumps.
- Giant ball or tiny ball.
- Gale: a strong wind pushes the ball.
- Big heads.
- Heavy ball.
The same twist never comes twice in a row, and the giant ball is never used in basketball, because it wouldn't fit through the hoop. A match that starts as a normal game of soccer can end on the moon with a beach ball the size of a car.
Solo Cup: play Wobble Cup alone
No second player? Press Space with one player joined to start the Solo Cup: five matches against five computer teams that get better each round. The cup starts with the sport you picked, then moves through all three, and ends with a Mix final. Each match is first to three points with a two-minute clock.
You have three hearts. Losing a match costs one heart and replays that match, so a bad loss isn't the end of the run. Every match pays points for each point you score, a bonus for every win and a big bonus for lifting the cup with hearts to spare. Sign in to submit your best cup result to the leaderboard. Versus matches are just for fun and aren't scored.
