Flappy Soccer by Teo SK

Please for playing use Chrome, or Safari, I found out this game currently doesn’t work on Firefox.
Combining the challenge of the Flappy genre, and the joy of scoring goals in soccer, Flappy Soccer offers quite big difficulty and fun experience. You need to score a goal to be able to pass through the gap, and of course catch the ball again, because you're gonna need it for the next gap!

But overall, nice twist on a pretty boring genre - making it surprising and fun for a while again.

@Ruoyu - you need to catch the ball and the shoot it using the Enter key, hit the goal, and then catch the ball again so you can clear the next goal.
@Ben Pearson - thank you much for the video review!
Really fun little game even if it is realllllly hard :)
Maybe you should put the phrase "Please for playing use Chrome, or Safari, I found out this game currently doesn’t work on Firefox." in bold because I waited 2mn for the game to start before coming back on the page to check :)
Great work !
Solid entry :)!
Great game! :D
Great game and idea! Keep it up!
I enjoyed the game quite a bit, found myself playing longer than I had planned to try and get a better score (managed to get 7 only...)
I agree with others that the startup screen is a bit weird, however I think the sounds were nice. The graphics were okay, not awesomely pretty, but not the worst I've seen either.
Your game is quite a nice entry, with some enjoyable and addictive gameplay. :) Good work!
Onto the feedback:
**Overall**
Overall congratulations on your entry, it's an interesting idea, but there are some things that could have been done better.
**Theme**
Funny combination actually. Good job on that!
**Graphics**
Graphics are good, could ofc be better, but as you've done it solo it's quite a good achievement!
**Audio**
As for audio, was nice. Only the restart each time you fall of the main menu was a bit weird, but beside that the audio felt good in place for the game!
**Gameplay**
Gameplay wise it's nice! Really challenging, like alot! Especially cause u need to think not only of going high enough to passthrough but also remove the goals through scoring with the bal. While I get the idea of having the bal not go horizontal, it's just too hard other wise. If you could do it just horizontally the player would understand it much easier and it would still be difficult as hell. The other thing that's weird is that if you miss, the ball gets knocked back, and 90% of the time you'll lose it. Maybe make it so that the ball will bounce of the sreen, so that it will always stay in the place for u to get it back?
Nonetheless, I enjoyed the minutes I played the game for, and we understand the hard work needed to create something like this! 😊 Our team also worked hard to create a game for the jam. You can check it out [here](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/wizsnooks)! 🐳

A very cool idea that could've used a bit more polish. However, what you've managed to put into the game is already quite fun. It's also really difficult but that's probably because I'm not exactly a Flappy Bird veteran. On the whole Flappy Soccer is a promising first LD entry. Cheers!
