About Punt The Ref
You control the kicking motion. The core action is a rapid alternating tap of two keys, often Z and X, to build up power in a meter. Timing is everything. Once you've charged up, you hit the spacebar to execute the punt. The referee tumbles through the air, and you watch the distance counter climb. The game is quick, built for short attempts where you try to beat your last score. It can feel frantic during the button-mashing phase, then satisfying or slightly disappointing based on the arc of the flight. The experience is a mix of immediate physical effort and watching a silly physics outcome.
