Ready to relive the glory days of 16-bit football? Retro Bowl captures the soul of classics like Tecmo Bowl and injects it with modern mobile design. It's simple enough to learn during a TV commercial, but deep enough to keep you hooked for seasons.

The Gameday Basics:

• Offense is Everything: You are the Quarterback. The game starts right before the snap.
• Passing: To throw, pull back from your QB to aim, creating a trajectory line. Release to throw. Lead your receivers!
• Running: If your QB runs, or after a catch, swipe up to juke or swipe down to dive. Diving is safer and great for securing a first down, but juking can lead to huge plays.
• Defense & Kicking: These are simulated, so your focus is purely on executing a flawless offense.

Three Tips for Your First Season:

1. Read Your Star Player: Your best receiver will have a star under them. They often run better routes and have more reliable hands. Look for them first.
2. Don't Force It: The defense is smart. If every receiver is covered, it’s better to throw the ball away (by aiming out of bounds) or take the sack than to risk a costly interception.
3. Manage the Clock: In the final two minutes, every second counts. Get out of bounds to stop the clock. If you have the lead, run the ball and dive inbounds to keep it ticking.

Retro Bowl is about nailing the fundamentals. Start simple, trust your star players, and lead your pixelated team to its first championship. Welcome to the pocket, coach.
