About Touchdowners
Touchdowners is arcade American football. You move the ball, dodge tackles, and try to reach the end zone without a long franchise menu in the way.
How To Play Touchdowners
Read the first gap
If the hole is already closing, bounce outside. Running into the pile wastes the down.
Do not hold sprint the whole play
Sprint is for the last ten yards. Early sprint runs you into the angle.
Cut once
Two cuts in a row usually meet a linebacker.
Gameplay Experience
Short drives
You are here for the play, not the salary cap.
Defense arrives on a line
They do not guess. They take an angle. Beat the angle, not the animation.
Score or get stuffed
There is not much in between if you hesitate.
Gameplay Mechanics
Lane running
The first step decides the lane. A late juke is cosmetic.
Tackle angles
Defenders win if you run straight at their numbers.
Down and distance
If the build tracks downs, a safe gain is still a gain.

The last man is who spoils a breakaway.
