Short and thrilling
Every match lasts 90 seconds. Still level? A 30-second golden goal: first to score wins.
No pay-to-win
All eight characters share the same speed, jump and kick; only their Kudret differs. Nothing you buy changes a match.
The Palace Cup
Six rivals, one cup. Plays without internet; every rival you beat joins your roster.
Online duels

No ads, no loot boxes
No ads, no random reward boxes, no energy timers. Play as long as you like.
Match and controls
Striped green grass, two gilded goals, one ball. You and your rival take the pitch; the rest is feet, heads and a little Kudret.
Regular time
Whoever scores more in ninety seconds wins.
After every goal the ball drops again in the middle.
Golden goal
Level at full time? A 30-second golden goal follows; the first goal ends the match.
Still no goal: a draw.
Run and jump
Run left and right with your left thumb, JUMP into the air; head the ball or stand on your rival's head.
On a computer: arrow keys or WASD.
Shot and Kudret
KICK to shoot; when the Kudret bar is full, press KUDRET to use your character's power.
You can swap the buttons' sides in the settings.
Four Kudret powers
The Kudret bar fills over time and with every touch of the ball, turning from blue to gold when full. Each character has one Kudret.
Ateş Topu
The fireball: a flat, blazing shot. A rival in its path staggers and the ball carries on.
Kavisli Şut
The curler: the ball lobs over your rival and drops just inside the goal.
Yıldırım
The thunderbolt: the ball rises to the sky and strikes down on the goal. A rival in line staggers, but the ball rebounds.
Dev Kafa
The giant head: for six seconds your head grows huge; it even stops a Kudret shot dead.

Fair and responsible play
North Sultan: Saray Topu is a game of skill and sport: matches carry no virtual-chip stakes, no chips are paid to the winner and no real money or prizes can be won. There are no ads, no random reward boxes, no energy timers and no power sold for money. The North Sultan account is for adults 18+.
Online matches are run by the server: both players' buttons go to the server, which computes the ball and the players under the same physics for both. If no opponent is found within about 7 seconds, a computer-controlled house player takes the other half of the pitch; it plays by the same rules and never wins anything of real value. In the app, Profile › Settings › Responsible Play lets you take a break or self-exclude.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay to play?
No. Download and play right away; the Palace Cup, Quick Match and online duels are free. Characters are unlocked by playing the Palace Cup. In-app purchases are made only through the App Store and Google Play and never increase your power in a match.
Can I sign in with my account from the other North Sultan games?
Yes. North Sultan games share one account: your chips, VIP membership, level, profile, friends and messages are the same in North Sultan: 101 Okey, North Sultan: Batak, North Sultan: Satranç, North Sultan: Okey, North Sultan: Tavla and North Sultan: Pişti. If your account is linked to Apple or Google, just sign in with the same account.
Can I win or lose chips in Saray Topu?
No. Saray Topu matches have no chip stakes: you receive no chips for a win and pay none for a loss. Your shared North Sultan chip balance is not affected by Saray Topu matches.
What are the rules?
1v1, 90 seconds; whoever scores more wins. If the score is level, a 30-second golden goal is played and the first goal ends the match; still no goal and the match is a draw. You play with run, jump, kick and Kudret buttons. Details: Saray Topu Guide.
Are some characters stronger than others?
No. All eight characters have exactly the same speed, jump and kick; only their Kudret (Ateş Topu, Kavisli Şut, Yıldırım, Dev Kafa) differs. We measure and balance the Kudret powers over hundreds of computer-vs-computer matches.
How do I unlock characters?
The Sultan, the Janissary and the Wrestler are open from the start. Bostancıbaşı, Sipahi, Kaptan-ı Derya, Haseki Sultan and the Grand Vizier join your roster when you beat them in the Palace Cup. VIP members have the whole roster.
Can my opponent be the computer?
In an online duel, if no other player is waiting after about 7 seconds, a computer-controlled house player may take the other half of the pitch so you don't wait. It plays by the same rules and never wins anything of real value. The computer never joins a private match you set up with a friend.
What happens if I lose my connection?
Your place is held for about 20 seconds; come back within that time and you continue where you left off. Otherwise the house player finishes your half and your opponent plays the match to the end.
How do I delete my account?
In the app: Profile › Delete My Account. If you cannot reach the app, use the web form. The account is shared by every North Sultan game, so deleting it also deletes your progress in the other games.
