The sheer variety of different football games available on the flash game market is quite remarkable though. Many similar games have been spawned since on the web and on mobile. Controlling the head you have to head to football into the other persons goal while using power ups. The idea of a couple of cheaply named big headed, limbless, funny faced players heading a ball in either goal being popular amoungst footy fans sounds unreal, but it's actually true and well executed by a popular game dev studio known as Mousebreaker.

Among their other titles, the Sports Heads series is one of their most played titles. Blast Billiards, Flash Cricket, and Camper Strike all proved popular enough to get a unique domain, with Play A Pal and Play For Your Club also registered by Mousebreaker for use with their popular football volleys games. Many of Mousebreaker’s early popular titles gained enough of a following to earn their own websites. Mousebreaker’s own list of requirements for third party flash developers states that their games are based on the ‘easy to play, difficult to master’ model, with short load-speeds and “a cheeky sense of humour” also required. Their sports section remains their most popular area however, and the site’s sheer number of football games has ensured the two are widely associated. Mousebreaker is best known for its sports and topical games, with titles such as Aporkalypse Now, Spank the Banker, Fat Cat Cashback and 'Bad Adebayor', getting attention from mainstream news outlets. The move saw Mousebreaker become part of IPC’s Ignite division, aimed predominantly at the 18-24 male demographic, and home to publications such as Nuts, Loaded and NME. In June 2008, Mousebreaker was purchased by Time Warner owned IPC Media for a rumoured seven figure sum. Upon licensing copies of both games, the pair realised the potential of their hobby, but it wasn’t until 2003 that was popular enough to be the only source of income for them and they began to work on the website full-time. Their first projects were a simple penalty shoot out game, and a pool game that would be the basis of the Blast Billiards franchise. Pendry and Stott first worked together on flash games as a hobby in 2000.
