The notebook
Mini Football is the third big football game from Miniclip, the studio behind Soccer Stars and Football Strike: over 50 million downloads on Google Play and a 4.7-star rating from more than 800,000 ratings. Its listing calls it "the ultimate arcade-style football game".
We make Toy Soccer Cup, a free table-football game with 3D toy footballers. We are on one side here, so every fact about Mini Football comes from its own Google Play listing — and we will give it credit where it is due.
Mini Football is arcade football: you run, kick, pass and shoot in real time, and the listing is clear about the promise — "no complex mechanics, just pure football fun". Toy Soccer Cup is table football: nothing moves until you flick it, and every touch is a small decision about angle and power.

It is easy to pick up and hard to put down. Its listing is built around clubs: you form one with your friends, take on teams from around the world and climb the leaderboards together — "the higher your club ranks, the bigger the prizes". There are regular events, and its latest update celebrates its sixth anniversary with a new season.
Every goal is a plan. In an arcade game, the fastest thumbs win. In Toy Soccer Cup nothing happens until you decide: which player, which angle, how hard. The ball curls, lifts and bounces off the walls, and the School of Tricks teaches The Curve, The Chip, The Sweet Spot, The Rocket and The Bank Shot.
Big on your own, too. You do not need a club online to have a season: 57 national leagues with 858 original clubs, each with its own cup, a Daily Challenge with the same minigame for the whole world each day, and a 625-sticker album.
Fair when it counts. Mini Football's listing talks about upgrading your team and says its purchases include random items; its anniversary shop offers "ultra-rare rewards" and "special packs". In Toy Soccer Cup coins are never sold, nothing random costs real money, and live online duels always start equal. The only purchase, on Android, removes ads — which show at most once every two minutes.
Mini Football is one of three. We have also put Soccer Stars and Football Strike head to head with Toy Soccer Cup, so you can see how the whole family compares.
