Two cameras, one match
The same match plays from a raised side view or straight down from above, and the camera swoops between them in under a second. On a phone held upright, the overhead view turns the field to fit.

What this game means
Every kid with a dog has wondered who would win. The Sports Arena puts the two of them on the same field and lets the kid find out, and Pam is no pushover.
It's also where the studio's sports engine started. The camera, the characters, the ball and the sound were built here first and then copied into the starter kit that Soccer Kids, Hockey Kids and Pickle Kids grew from.
They play differently
Ziggy has the bigger kick, volleys, headers and a slide tackle. Pam is quicker, dribbles closer and pounces.
Play a friend
Two players can share one keyboard or use two gamepads. Phones get a thumb stick and a Kick button: hold to charge, release to kick.
Built to grow
The front page plays a live computer match behind the menu, with a tile waiting for the next sport. The camera, characters, ball and sound are shared, so each new sport starts from working parts.
