Puma Street Soccer is a 4-on-4 football game, based on Puma’s own version of
indoor football. The field is small, surrounded by a hip-height board players
can use to bounce the ball. The rules are simple: the game starts like in
basketball, with the ball being dropped between the two forwards in midfield.
The rest of the game is very freeform, with fouls being awarded for awkward
challenges (Penalties are given if the attacking player is on the break) and
throw-ins (scored with the feet) if the ball goes above the boards. The player
can select the tactics – from the three field players (the goalkeeper can’t
leave the goal area), it’s possible to pay more offensively (with 2 in front
and 1 in the back) or defensively (2 in back and 1 in front). While the real
tournament was traditionally played on public parks and car lots, the game
version includes these and more exotic settings, such as an airport, a ships’
deck or in the middle of a city crossroad. The grand finals are always played
inside an indoor arena.

After a team manages a number of shots, they are entitled to three
“supershots”, which are much more powerful and swerve a lot more than regular
shots. The three shots, if well used, can turn a game upside down in a matter
of seconds or mean the team will have to do a lot to make up for them if
spoiled. While building up the Supershot gauge, the player has to rely on well
placed shots, header, volleys, bicycle kicks or moving the ball in attack very
quickly to score.

By winning competitions, players can unlock Puma-sponsored stars, such as JJ
Okocha, Lothar Matthaus, Angelo Peruzzi or Gianluca Pagliuca and compete with
them in their national teams.
