Kick with Chrome is a series of three virtual soccer games unveiled by Google as a Chrome Experiment that will let you practice your dribbling, kicking and shooting skills.
The experience is a multi-screen experience that is designed so that players can use both a computer and either a tablet or a phone for a unique experience. In Infinite Dribble, players need to tilt their handheld device to dodge defense and avoid roadblocks. Space Kick involves making kicks powerful enough to launch soccer balls into space and Shootout has players kick and block penalty shots.
When the World Cup goes on, there are plenty of avid soccer fans screaming that they could make better plays and this is the perfect chance for them to all that talk to the test.
