About Touchdowners

Touchdowners is a physics-based, chaotic sports game that strips American football down to its most entertaining elements. Developed by Colin Lane Games, it challenges players to guide a team of three wobbly, ragdoll athletes down the gridiron. The objective is straightforward but far from simple: secure the football and touch it down in the opponent's end zone while wrestling with unpredictable movement.

Instead of managing complex playbooks, you control all three teammates simultaneously. As you move forward or backward, your players' arms rotate like propellers, which you must time carefully to bounce, jump, tackle, and intercept. The resulting matches are filled with comedic fumbles, wild pile-ups, and dramatic last-second passes that keep every round exciting, whether playing solo or head-to-head.

Touchdowners Controls

  • Z or Left Arrow: Move backward / rotate arms backward
  • X or Right Arrow: Move forward / rotate arms forward
  • C or M: Throw/pass the football

Frantic Game Modes

  • Career Mode: Lead your wobbly squad through multiple division tournaments and cup finals to defeat increasingly challenging AI-controlled teams.
  • Arcade Mode: A fast-paced survival test where you try to score as many touchdowns as possible before the opponent's team scores against you.
  • 2 Player Mode: Share your keyboard to compete against a friend in local head-to-head multiplayer matches.

Tips for High Scoring

  • Time the Throw: Wait until your player's rotating arm is pointing diagonally upward before passing. This launches a high, looping throw that can sail over the heads of the opposing defense.
  • Secure the Tackle: Position your athletes so that their rotating arms swing down directly onto the ball carrier, forcing a quick fumble.
  • Defend the End Zone: Keep one player back as a safety. Rushing all three players forward leaves you vulnerable to a long, lobbed pass from your opponent.
