The 8-bit lacrosse video game

There has never been a good lacrosse video game, so we made one. Top Cheddar is field, Sixes and box lacrosse in 8-bit pixels, built for a phone held sideways. "Top cheddar" is what players call a shot into the top corner of the cage.

Top Cheddar field lacrosse offense: a dodger breaks toward the cage with PASS, DODGE and SHOOT buttons on the right

Play the moments that matter

Offense

Run with the left thumb. Pass, dodge and shoot with the right. Hold SHOOT to slow time, slide to a corner of the cage and release. A PLAY button calls the set, a ringed teammate is always the pass target, and name tags show who is open.

Faceoffs

Top Cheddar faceoff: two FOGOs at the X with a reaction readout

Win the clamp with a reaction tap, win the battle with a mash, then pick your exit lane before the countdown ends. Lose the battle and you can still READ HIS EXIT to turn it into a ground ball.

Goalie POV

Top Cheddar goalie POV: a shooter winds up, seen from inside the cage

The big shots cut to your view from the crease. Read the windup, react, make the save. Choose clutch moments only or every shot.

Clears, rides, lines and defense

Full-field clears and rides, line changes with fatigue, play calls, and a man or zone defense you set once and adjust from the pause menu.

Box lacrosse

Five a side in an indoor rink, with the lights changing every quarter. Big hits and knockdowns; dirty hits draw penalties, and penalties bring power plays and penalty kills. Score or hit enough and a player heats up, then catches fire. After a big hit you can drop the gloves: one thumb per fist, cartoon style, no blood, and FIGHTS can be switched off in Settings. The Box goalie POV has the shooter running in at you, and the Box shootout is a 1v1 from centre with a DEKE button.

Sixes

The Olympic format: 5 v 5 plus goalies on the short field, a shot clock, no faceoffs after goals. Quick Game Sixes features 21 European Sixes nations, each with its own flag and kits. Online Sixes is 5 v 5 against another person with your own lineup of player cards. Packs are free.
