Do you remember once upon a time, sitting in class at school, and making those little triangle American footballs from a sheet of paper, and then trying to score field goals by flicking it over your friend's “finger posts”?

Well, Finger Footy isn't that game, but it's pretty darn close.  In this Pepsi-sponsored game of flick football meets dodgeball meets soccer meets Gladiator, there's so many things you can do that it's just fun to play over and over again.

You control a virtual hand with the mouse.  Moving the mouse left and right... you guessed it, moves your "hand" left and right.  Hold down the left mouse button to gain power, and release to flick the little ball down at the net. You get 15 points for every GOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!

 Sorry.  I just had to do it.

Anyway, this is where it gets a bit more interesting.  I mentioned Gladiators, right? ...though they might be vikings.  Whatever - they are in the game too - many of them, in fact.  And they are going to try and stop you from winning.

Anyway, this is where the dodgeball part comes in.  You can aim your ball at the gladiators and knock them down.  They can also bounce backwards and hit other gladiators.  The bigger the gladiator, the harder they fall.  You get bonus points for knocking them down.

And be careful.  Some of them get back up again and keep coming.

There's also a Pepsi cart that travels across the screen periodically.  But I'll let that be a surprise; you’ll have to find out what happens with that for yourself.

The game ends when a gladiator ends up jumping on top of your hand and doing a little victory grunt.  I've gotten to about 305 points.  Have fun topping that!
