About Linebacker Alley 2

Linebacker Alley 2 is the sequel to Glowmonkey's linebacker game, and it flips the usual football game around. You do not run the offense. You are one defender against a running back, his blockers and a wall of end zone behind you, and the job is a tackle. Fight through the blocks, close the gap and hit the carrier before he crosses the line.

Levels raise the number of blockers and the speed of the back, and the special moves you unlock let you throw blockers aside or dive for a shoestring tackle. It is short, physical and satisfying in a way few football games manage.

How to Play Linebacker Alley 2

1. Line up as the linebacker at the start of each play.
2. Move to meet the ball carrier as the play develops.
3. Shed or avoid the blockers in your path.
4. Tackle the carrier before he reaches the end zone. Enough stops clears the level.

Controls

• Arrow keys: move the linebacker.
• Space: tackle when you are in reach.
• Number keys or on-screen buttons: special moves, once unlocked.

Tips and Tricks

• Take the angle, not the straight line. Meet the carrier where he is going, not where he is.
• Blockers are slow to turn; step around them rather than through them.
• Save the dive for a carrier who is about to break free, since a miss puts you on the ground.
• Watch the back's first step; it tells you which side of the line he is running to.
