REVIEW
Football Heads is the evergreen version of Inlogic's TV-remote slapstick.
The un-yeared base title of Inlogic's big-head soccer template — same bouncy physics and four-button control scheme as the 2025 edition, without the annual roster refresh and without an expiry date.

Football Heads is the un-yeared base title in Inlogic Software’s long-running big-head soccer line — the same 1v1 arcade slapstick as the Football Heads 2025 edition that sits next to it on the LG webOS store, minus the annual season theming. Two oversized cartoon heads. A side-on pitch. A ball with the gravity of a beach toy. No current European roster, no current kits, no expiry date stamped on the menu screen.
That last point is the small editorial pitch here. Annual sports games age fast — Football Heads 2025 will feel out of date the moment the 2026 season starts, the way every yearly FIFA release does on a longer timescale. This base title sidesteps that by not committing to a season at all. The arcade physics are the arcade physics; the four-button control scheme is the four-button control scheme; the joke about scaling a player’s head to the size of a small car still lands the same in 2030 as it does today.
It is the version of Football Heads that won’t quietly feel out of date when next August’s kits drop. That’s not enough to recommend it over the 2025 edition for someone who wants the current-season hook — but for the casual installer who turns this on once a quarter when a guest is over, the evergreen framing is the right call.
It's the version of Football Heads that won't quietly feel out of date when next August's kits drop.
FEATURES
Football Heads is the base LG webOS entry in Inlogic Software's big-head soccer line — a 1v1 arcade match between two oversized cartoon heads on a side-on pitch, kicking and bouncing a ball into a goal. Matches are short, scores are usually 2-1 or 3-2, and the physics are deliberately exaggerated so a hit ball flies further than the laws of football allow.
Where the Football Heads 2025 release is themed around the current European season — current kits, current player likenesses, current cup brackets — this base title is the evergreen version. Generic team colours, no season label, the same quick-match, cup, and pass-the-remote two-player modes. Controls are the standard LG webOS layout: directional pad to move and jump, OK to kick, hold for a heavier shot.
Free to play, ad-supported between matches, no in-app purchase tier on the LG store to remove ads.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The evergreen framing is the quiet win. Annual sports games stop feeling current the moment the next season starts, and Inlogic's 2025 edition will look stale by August 2026 when this base title still won't. Strip out the season-specific theming and the underlying game — bouncy physics, fast loads, four-button input, slapstick scorelines — is the same arcade joke that has worked on browser portals for fifteen years.
Cartoon art scales up to a TV panel without the stretched-phone-game look that plagues a lot of webOS casual ports. Menus are legible at 10-foot distance. Matches load in a second or two. The basics are the basics and Inlogic has been shipping this template long enough to have the basics right.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
Without the annual roster hook there is less to come back to. The 2025 edition's pitch is "this season's brackets, this season's heads"; the base title's pitch is just the underlying game, and after a couple of cup runs the AI patterns start to repeat. The Inlogic template hasn't meaningfully evolved in years, so the ceiling here is lower than the 2025 edition's, not higher.
Ad density between matches is the same friction as every free Inlogic title — short interstitials that interrupt rounds shorter than the ad itself. Local two-player on a single remote remains a pass-the-remote arrangement rather than a proper second-controller mode.
CONCLUSION
Install the base Football Heads if the yearly editions feel disposable to you, or if you want the simplest version of the joke without licence-flavoured theming. Install Football Heads 2025 instead if the current season's kits and brackets are the point. Same arcade slapstick at the core either way, and the same case for it on a TV remote — a thirty-second laugh when a guest is over, not a Sunday session.
