Easily the most controversial moment of the World Cup thus far was that of Uruguay star Luis Suarez biting Italian player Giorgio Chiellini. While many might want to forget that moment, it has now been immortalized in the form of a [mobile game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squid-game-unleashed) called ‘Suarez: The Biteman Returns.’

In this free game, players take part in a [virtual soccer match](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soccerverse-boasts) in which they have to do everything they can to prevent Luis Suarez biting them, while also scoring as many goals as possible. The most hilarious aspect of gameplay is that players collect anti-rabies shots to refill their health bar. Players must also help the character of Chiellini collect a muzzle that will ostensibly be used to prevent Suarez from biting him.

This funny, timely and slightly disturbing game was developed by a group of [Dutch indie game developers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cold-justice).
