Tapball

Tap the screen if you see a goal coming!

Gamification of soccer and other sports games to make it even more entertaining and addictive to watch. Watch the game on your mobile device or Smart TV, play against your friends, see the leaderboard and tweet about all the points you just scored in Tapball!

By feeding the position of the ball from LViS by monterosa, we determine if the ball is on the field or in one of the goals. If you see the goal coming, touch the screen and score points. Timing your tapping is important, if you tap too much, you'll loose points - if you tap it just right, you'll earn points! You'll also get feedback about how many other players that are currently tapping, so it's your chance be part of something bigger!
