How to play
Pitch Sprint is a three-lane football runner: you sprint with a real ball at your feet, dodge defenders, hop slide tackles and nutmeg the defenders who stand their ground, and every pitch ends in a shot at goal without slowing down. Read where the keeper is standing, put it in the other corner and keep the goal streak alive through 100 levels.
- Swipe left or right (or press ← → / A D) to change lane and run round the defenders. Swipe up or press ↑ to hop slide tackles, and from level 11 swipe down or press ↓ to slide under bunting and jumping walls.
- From level 3, tap or press Space just as you reach a standing defender to play the ball through his legs for a nutmeg.
- Every pitch ends in a penalty box. When SHOOT! appears, tap the goal where you want the ball, away from the keeper; on a keyboard ← → shoot into a top corner, ↑ goes high through the middle and ↓ or Space low.
- Shoot in the gold part of the timer bar for a power strike. Miss three shots in a row, or get tackled, and you lose one of your lives.

About Pitch Sprint
Pitch Sprint is an endless soccer runner seen from just behind the striker. You start at 9 metres a second with the ball at your boots, reach about 13 metres a second after five minutes and keep accelerating toward 18, and nothing ever slows you down: not a shot, not a goal, not a tackle. The ball is a real ball. Changing lane knocks it a little further ahead and a hop lifts it on, and if it runs more than 2.2 metres in front of you it is loose, so you have to stay in its lane or slide to gather it before a defender steals it. Each pitch ends in a penalty box where the keeper waits on one side of his goal; spot it, shoot for the far corner in the short shot window and run straight on through the goal frame into the next pitch. A run crosses 100 levels in ten chapters, Park, Village Green, Seaside Promenade, City Street, Night Stadium, Snow, Desert, Rain, Neon Arena and the Grand Final, and each one brings its own problem: closing pairs, sprinting crossers, defenders that switch lanes, jumping walls, ice, sand traps, puddles, ball cannons and a marker who follows you. Every tenth level is a cup final against a special keeper, from a giant to a golden one, and levels 5, 15, 25 and so on are counter-attacks full of stars with a heart to collect.

Pitch Sprint tips and strategy
- A single keeper gives his side away before you shoot: he stands at least a metre off the centre of a goal six metres wide. Shoot for the opposite corner, and go high, because most keepers reach less far for a shot up near the bar.
- The last 30 per cent of the shot window is the gold power zone on the timer bar. A power strike flies 15 per cent faster, leaves the keeper less time to dive and adds 300 points, but wait past the end of the window and the chance is gone.
- Keepers study you. Shoot into the same zone twice running and the next keeper starts on that side and guesses right if you try it a third time, so mix your corners.
- A goal pays 1,000 points plus 50 per level, and 500 more for a top-corner finish or a lob over a keeper who rushes out. Each goal in a row raises the multiplier by 0.5 up to ×5, and every third goal in a streak adds a hat-trick bonus of 1,500 points times your multiplier.
- Collect 25 stars to load a rocket: your next shot flies 35 per cent faster and the keeper dives slower. The Star Shot power-up from level 5 is even better, because that shot cannot be saved at all.
- Every run begins with three lives, and you can bank up to five. The first life you lose on levels 1 to 3 is forgiven, the Shin Guard from level 4 blocks one hit, every cup final you win gives a life back and each counter-attack level hides one heart.
