LG / game / FOOTBALL HEADS 2025
REVIEW
Football Heads 2025 is exactly the silly couch game LG webOS needed.
Inlogic's big-head 1v1 mini-football lands on the TV with annual roster theming, a free-to-play hook, and the kind of pick-up-and-laugh loop that survives a Magic Remote.

Football Heads 2025 is the LG webOS port of a game that has existed, in one form or another, on Flash portals, browser sites, and mobile stores since roughly the early 2010s — Inlogic Software’s big-head 1v1 mini-football. Two oversized cartoon heads. A side-on pitch. A ball that bounces with the gravity of a beach toy. The “2025” suffix is annual roster theming — the kits, the recognisable player heads, the tournament brackets all line up with the current European-football season.
On a TV, that template translates more cleanly than you’d expect. The control surface is four directional buttons plus an action key, which is exactly what an LG Magic Remote does well, and the game’s deliberately exaggerated physics absorb the half-beat of remote latency that would ruin anything more demanding. It’s the kind of game you forget about for six months and then play three rounds of with your nephew, which is the entire job of a free casual game on a smart TV.
The score is the score for the category. It’s not trying to be anything more than this, and it doesn’t fall short of what it’s trying to be — but it isn’t trying for very much. Free, fine, occasionally funny, and on the right input device.

FEATURES
Football Heads 2025 is the LG webOS port of Inlogic Software's long-running big-head-soccer template — a 1v1 arcade match between two oversized cartoon heads on a side-on pitch, kicking, jumping, and lobbing a ball into a goal. Matches are short, scores are low, and the physics are deliberately bouncy.
The 2025 edition is the annual roster refresh — updated club kits, the season's recognisable player heads, and tournament brackets built around the current European-football calendar. Modes typically include quick match, tournament/cup runs, and a head-to-head local two-player mode on the same TV. Controls map to the LG remote's directional buttons plus OK as the action key: left/right to move, up to jump, OK to kick, with a special-shot move on a held button.
Free to play, ad-supported between matches, with no real persistent meta-game beyond progressing through cups and unlocking the next bracket of teams.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The control scheme actually works on a TV remote, which is the entire reason this kind of game exists on webOS. The four-direction-plus-OK input is exactly what the Magic Remote handles well, and the deliberately exaggerated physics mean a half-second of input lag never ruins a match — you're not playing FIFA, you're playing a slapstick.
Inlogic has been shipping variations of this formula for over a decade and the polish on the basics shows. Matches load fast, the menus are legible at 10-foot distance, and the cartoon art holds up on a big OLED panel without looking like a stretched phone game. The annual roster update is the small thing that keeps it from feeling abandoned.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
Ad density on the free tier is the obvious friction — interstitials between matches break the rhythm of the very short rounds the game is built around, and there is no paid tier on the LG store to remove them. The AI in the higher cup brackets leans on the same two or three exploit patterns, which the more practiced player will discover and stop losing to.
Local two-player on a single remote is a stretch — webOS doesn't give the app a clean way to take a second controller, so the multiplayer pitch is really "pass the remote between halves," which is fine for kids and less fine for adults.
CONCLUSION
Install it for the times a guest is over and you want a thirty-second laugh, not for a Sunday-afternoon session. Football Heads 2025 is a free, faintly daft, well-mannered casual game that knows exactly what it is — an arcade joke about football, ported competently to a TV remote. Watch for the inevitable 2026 edition when next season's kits arrive.
