Pro Jank Footy Guides
From first kick to Season champion—tutorials for newcomers and party hosts.
Welcome to the Pro Jank Footy guides hub. This is the place to land when you know the vibe—“arcade Aussie Rules with ridiculous cards”—but still need a clean path through controls, scoring, modes, and Season planning.
Start here if you are brand new
- Open the Getting Started walkthrough (the Next Fest demo is gone—use guides instead).
- Skim Aussie Rules Basics so goals, behinds, handpasses, and the oval stop feeling mysterious.
- Bookmark Controls—tap-versus-hold inputs are simple, but muscle memory wins party nights.
- Finish with intent using How to Score, then stack habits from Tips and Tricks.
- Compare chaos levels in Game Modes and drill calmly in Kick-to-Kick before you throw friends into a full Pro Jank match.
What each guide solves
- Getting Started — onboarding, demo retirement notes, and Normal Footy versus Pro Jank Footy.
- Controls — handpass, kick, bump, tackle, speed burst, and player switching.
- Aussie Rules Basics — sport DNA translated for players who never watched AFL.
- How to Score — conversion habits and the goal→card economy.
- Tips and Tricks — party hosting, kit readability, energy thrift, and tilt control.
- Season Mode — absurd opponents, single-run ladder reality, and deck growth.
- Multiplayer — couch versus, online wait-state, AI practice, and hosting etiquette.
- Game Modes — Normal Footy, Pro Jank, Watch Mode, Kick-to-Kick, and when each shines.
- Kick-to-Kick — backyard practice mode for kids, guests, and aim drills.
- Watch Mode — AI versus AI spectating for comedy breaks and card study.
The desktop Guides dropdown shows at most eight entries plus View all—this hub is the full map when the list grows past the nav cap.
How to use this wiki after launch
Pro Jank Footy released August 12, 2026 on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch / Switch 2. Pair this hub with the Day-One Checklist, Online Status, and Buyer’s Guide so price, pad counts, and remote expectations are settled before the group chat melts.
Internal linking is intentional. Every guide page cross-links siblings so you can bounce from controls into Season Mode without hunting the nav tree. Continue into Teams for the eleven clubs or Tools for specs.
Depth over spoilers
We keep Season encounter themes (giants, cars, the single unstoppable menace) at a spoiler-light level while still explaining why deck choices matter. Power-up flavours developers and reviewers have described—seagulls, missing umpires, goal posts everywhere, football transformations, meat-pie chaos, dad’s-car energy, DVD logos—appear in strategy pages with a balance disclaimer.
Party-host checklist
Before friends arrive: confirm everyone understands a goal gives the conceding side a recovery card in Pro Jank rules; agree whether you are playing Normal Footy warm-ups; decide if kids should start in Kick-to-Kick; pick readable kits on Clubs and Teams; check Online Status before promising remote lobbies; and keep Codes bookmarked once. For studio news and Discord tournaments, use the Links Hub.
If you only read four pages today, make them Getting Started, Controls, How to Score, and Power-Ups Overview. That set covers first-night confusion and sets you up for Season decks without rage-quitting the tutorial oval.
Frequently Asked Questions
