Are you wondering how to get your football fix now that the World Cup has finished?  Well, go and have a football experience of a bloodier kind: Plug-in Media have just created a gore-filled, football platform game for Turner Broadcasting’s Adult Swim Channel.

You have to get the football across the hot plains of South Africa, drive it through a thick jungle landscape and pound the streets of Johannesburg to Soccer City.  But just to make it a bit more challenging, we’ve added some wild beasts.  It is not just your dribbling skills that are being tested: you need to escape being ravaged by a fearsome lion, gruesome gorilla or livid leopard.

Choose one of 10 different country mascots to play as.   Will you score the goal or will you be reduced to a bloody pulp? Messi might be good, but he didn’t have to escape wild animals!  Head over to Adult Swim for some addictive gameplay in Mascot Maul.
