# Novus Striker > Novus Striker — a fast, arcade soccer game you play right in your browser. Pick your team, chain combos, and bury last-second screamers. No download, no install. Novus Striker is a free arcade soccer game published by Novus Stream Solutions. It runs entirely in the browser as a Unity WebGL build — there is no download to install, no launcher, no store page and no account. Clicking Play streams roughly 58 MB of game data, which the browser then caches so later visits start faster. A desktop browser with WebGL 2 support gives the best experience; keyboard, gamepad and touch controls are all supported. This site is the launcher and information pages for the game. It has no blog, no docs and no user accounts, and the 15 pages below are the whole of it. ## Pages - [Home](https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com): The game fantasy in one sentence, the five-step core loop (position, charge, strike, react, build), and eight cards describing the systems the shipped build actually has. - [Play](https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/game): The game itself. Before anything is fetched, the page probes WebGL 2, WebAssembly, device memory, storage quota and input, and reports each one — only WebGL 2 and WebAssembly can stop a launch. It also shows the controls for all three input schemes and a thirty-second explainer BEFORE the build downloads. Loading is reported as four separate stages (download, compile, initialise, cache), and a failure offers an opt-in diagnostic report that is never transmitted anywhere. - [Features](https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/features): The mechanics the shipped build actually has — dash, pass, charged shots, Power Strike, the skill-stick gesture vocabulary, challenge and tackle, and local co-op — plus which of the three input schemes each one is available on. - [Help](https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/help): The support page: how to play in thirty seconds, the controls for all three input schemes, what each of the five pre-flight checks means and what to do about a bad one, what a stall in each of the four load stages implies, what the opt-in diagnostic report contains, browser support stated as the two capabilities that decide it, what is stored on the device and what clearing it costs, and performance advice in order of how much difference it makes. - [Tool map](https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/tool-map): A taxonomy of the whole product in one page: every page on this site with the surfaces on it, every gameplay system in the build being served, the three input schemes, the machine-readable files, and a plainly stated list of what this site does not have. - [Releases](https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/releases): Patch notes for every shipped WebGL build, newest first, each with its content-addressed release id and the number of bytes a first-time player downloads, plus the roadmap of what is queued next, in order and without dates. Also syndicated as RSS. - [Status](https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/status): A HAND-MAINTAINED record of component status, the known issues in the build being served right now (each with symptom, cause and workaround), and past incidents. No monitoring system feeds it and it does not update on its own; it carries the date a person last reviewed it, and should not be read as live. - [About](https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/about): Who Novus Stream Solutions is, where it is based, and how Novus Striker is funded. - [Press kit](https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/press-kit): Fact sheet, the share cards and icon as artwork, current release id and download size, and what may be reproduced. - [Feedback](https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/feedback): Email contact for bugs and ideas, plus where Novus Stream Solutions is based. - [Accessibility](https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/accessibility): Input parity across keyboard, controller and touch, the light and dark themes, the touch-control settings, and a plainly stated list of the gaps that have not been closed yet. - [Security](https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/security): What is not stored (accounts, passwords, payment data), how the WebGL build is content-addressed and verified against a SHA-256 manifest, and how to report an issue. - [Privacy](https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/privacy): What is collected, what is not, and how consent gates both analytics and advertising. - [Terms](https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/terms): Terms for using the site and the game: what accepting them means, what counts as acceptable use, who owns the game and its artwork, and the disclaimer that a free browser game is provided as-is. - [Cookies](https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/cookies): Cookies and browser storage in detail, and how to clear the cached build. ## Notes - https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/tool-map is the same taxonomy as this file in HTML, with the gameplay systems and the input schemes alongside the pages. Read it if you need the game's mechanics rather than the site's structure. - The game binary lives under /unity/releases// and is content-addressed, so those URLs are immutable and safe to cache; they are not documentation and hold nothing worth reading as text. - Release notes are syndicated as RSS 2.0 at https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/rss.xml. It carries one item per shipped build and is the only feed on this site. - /status is written and updated by hand. Nothing polls it, so a value there is only as current as the review date printed on the page. - Licence: the game is free to play and ad-supported, the source is private, and all rights are reserved. Full text at https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/terms and in the repository's LICENSE file. - The site ships a light theme and a dark one. Light is the default; the choice is stored in an "nss-theme" cookie and resolved on the server, so the first paint is already correct. - Advertising is Google AdSense, loaded only after a visitor accepts cookies, and never on /game, /privacy, /terms or /cookies. - Contact: striker@novusstreamsolutions.com - Sitemap: https://striker.novusstreamsolutions.com/sitemap.xml
