Have you ever dreamed of being a football superstar? Football Journey is a game about a boy who decided to become the best player in the world.

He has no skills, no coach and he doesn't even have a ball! What lay ahead of him? Will he reach his dream?

Let's follow him on his journey!

GENRES

Sports + Platformer

USEFUL INFO

Use Left Control to stop the ball. It really helps.

Try to press Space after victory screen.

I got most of my graphics from the internet, I hope didn't steal anyone's property. Let me know if I did.

Controls felt quite hard first but when you got used to them they were ok. I still would have hoped that kicking the ball did not reguire going to "kicking mode". That made game feel a bit clunky in my opinion.

I got really surprised about the teleport mechanic and how well it actually mashed with the other controls. Also the goals scattered around the map were a good addition and they provided a nice little challenge.

The mashup of genres made for a fun time and a unique platforming experience. The teleport mechanic was a nice addition and definitely opened up level design options for kicking. Definitely a learning curve to the controls, but not overly difficult. Very nice graphics - well done!

Thank you for a web version (tired of downloading exe files). The introduction is a bit slow, but overall a solid entry! :slight_smile:

Was the audio also taken from online or did you make it?
I liked the dialogue. It was simple but effective.
Like others have already mentioned, the teleport mechanic was unexpected but surprisingly welcome.
If there were more levels, I would've played them.

Cool concept and super entry, I like the narration, the overall artwork, mechanics & ambiance, controls could be a bit more smooth. Congratz for this very nice game :thumbsup:

The teleport mechanic is great, nice solution for adding puzzles that integrate with the sports gameplay.
Shame about the controls, a more intense, softer and bouncier pace and physics would fit better - right now it's more like (desert) golf, and I had to spend a lot of time trying to get the ball out of corners and stuck positions. Nice job overall!

Combination of ctrl and WASD just made the game unplayable.
