Cheeky Kick FAQ

Cheeky Kick is a free, family-friendly browser game: tap to kick a ball and hit park walkers on their pink cheeks for points. Below are answers to the questions players ask most.

What is Cheeky Kick?

Cheeky Kick is a free browser game where you kick a ball across a park to boop joggers, dogs and penguins on their pink cheeks. Each round lasts 60 seconds and you score points for every hit.

Is Cheeky Kick free to play?

Yes. Cheeky Kick is completely free, needs no download, no account and no app. It runs in any modern browser on phones, tablets and computers.

How do you kick the ball in Cheeky Kick?

Tap or click where you want the ball to go. If you tap on or near a walker’s pink cheeks, the kick aims slightly ahead so the ball arrives where they will be. You can also press, drag backwards like a slingshot and let go for a harder kick.

Is Cheeky Kick suitable for kids?

Cheeky Kick is a family-friendly cartoon game with mild slapstick humor. Characters are fully clothed, nobody gets hurt, and booped characters simply jump and run off.

How long is a round of Cheeky Kick?

Every round lasts 60 seconds. Walkers get faster as the timer runs down, and new ones arrive more often near the end.

How does scoring work in Cheeky Kick?

Joggers are worth 10 points, dogs 15 and penguins 20. Your points are multiplied by your combo, which grows by one for every hit in a row up to ×9. A hit while an animal is teasing doubles the points, and golden animals are worth 5 times as much.

What is a combo?

A combo is a streak of hits in a row. Each hit raises your multiplier by one, up to ×9. If a ball rolls away without hitting any pink cheeks, the combo resets to ×1.

What happens when an animal turns around and wiggles?

Dogs and penguins sometimes stop, turn their back to you and wiggle their behind as a tease. While they tease they stand still, and any hit scores double points.

What is the difference between the soccer ball and the beach ball?

The soccer ball is small and fast, reaching the far path in about 0.4 seconds, so it is the accurate choice. The beach ball is bigger and floatier, takes about 0.55 seconds, and is easier to land on a target.

Does Cheeky Kick work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Cheeky Kick works in Safari, Chrome and other modern mobile browsers. Tap controls are built for phones, and it also works with a mouse on desktop.

Do I need to install anything or sign up?

No. There is nothing to install and no account. Your best score is saved only in your own browser on your device.

Can I play with the sound off?

Yes. Use the Sound button under the game to turn sound effects on or off at any time. Sounds only play after you start a round.

Why did my combo reset?

Your combo resets when a ball stops or leaves the park without hitting any pink cheeks. Hitting a walker’s front or side shows “Not the cheeks!” and does not count as a hit.
