Backbreaker is an intense, arcade football experience. Score touchdowns by sprinting, juking and spinning past waves of oncoming defenders, racking up combos and score multipliers on your way to the endzone!

Maxim "The most addictive sports game I've played on an iPhone"

EDGE Magazine "Brilliant!!!"

The Appera "It feels like PS3/360 gaming on a tiny little screen… it’s THAT good!"

Pocketgamer.co.uk "Backbreaker Football looks amazing and the animations are topnotch. But you'd expect this of NaturalMotion - which provided the animation engine for GTA IV."

The Appera "Just do yourself a favor and play the frickin game!"

Doesnt work on my 5s
     
by ER51 · January 23, 2015

Installed, opened, no response when pushing "start" or any selections. Deleted, reinstalled, same thing. Tried 3 times. Deleted for good, crappy QC if it doesnt work in 50% or more phones judging by the reviews. Too bad.

Graphics broken
     
by Joshy baby · November 12, 2014

I wanted to replay the game that I fell in love with however, all of the graphics are so messed up that large gray rectangles cover everything

Bad

Didn't work! Would just run out of bounds every time!

The Stands Have No Color!
     
by J-Man1046 · January 18, 2015

It's a small glitch but it gets annoying after a while.
