Mad Mad Unicorn

Why We Picked Mad Mad Unicorn

Mad Mad Unicorn is a five-minute match with the real rules and arcade timing, in that order. The sport supplies the tension; the port only has to stay out of its way. It is tapping on a touchscreen under a clock, and the clock does more to raise the pressure than any setting. What it lacks in presentation it returns in the only currency that matters here: a fair contest. By the numbers: 390 of 500 on the arcade shelf, 3.6 out of 5 from 11 ratings, and 572 plays.

How to Play

Three rules cover almost everything this game asks of you:

• Built for a finger: large targets and no hover states to guess at.
• Finish the match ahead, and accept that a browser sport rarely asks for more than that.
• The near post is underrated and the goalkeeper knows it.

Editor’s Note

Suits someone who wants the shape of the sport without the season around it; the management side is simply absent. There is no commentary, no crowd noise to speak of, and no season to maintain between visits.
