HIKE! — Ragdoll American Football

Football, but everyone is a wobbly toy figure and every tackle is 100% real physics.

Welcome to HIKE!, a chaotic 7-on-7 physics-based American football game. Pick a play, snap the ball, and watch it go perfectly—or hilariously wrong. Jukes, dives, hit sticks, fumbles, and dog piles are all fully simulated with zero canned animations, meaning no two plays ever end the same way.

Never wait for a full lobby. Bots automatically fill empty spots online or offline, and friends can drop into an active game at any time!
