I think the game would benefited a lot from some "retro" sound effects, but perhaps you didn't have time. This could be fun to play multiplayer, although you might have to implement some kind of recharge mechanic to avoid players "spamming" shots.
Some sound would have been cool. Great job, so much wacky fun.
But, the game was quite fun and I really enjoyed the mechanics. also, a good idea
Too bad there are no sounds, with some sounds effect, a simple music and a multiplayer mode it would be a really good and fun game :)
You have a concept to do a very good game for phone/tablet !
I am totally speechless, this game was amazingly fun to play! I wish there was audio and incidentally you might want to opt out of it so your not judged on it.
It took me a bit to get used to dragging as I'm using a mouse but once I did oh boy did I have fun and laugh myself silly! What an amazing game for 48 hours of work. Well done!
The art style was fascinating and worked very well. Animation and UI were impressive. Mechanics worked great, and I enjoyed the sports tie-in. I didn't notice any significant errors, even in the very cool physics.
Two things I thought limited the fun of this entry. The first was the control scheme. Mouse dragging was an innovative mechanic but very hard to control in real time. Secondly, I felt like the difficulty could be scaled better. All teams seemed to have the same AI and all were objectively much better than I was, which limited my sense of achievement.
Overall a lot of fun and very high quality for a compo entry.
Fantastic entry! Congrats!
Really, just add sound and this would be a perfect super-funny super-silly toy!
6/5 fun!
I want sound and skip slow-mo moments.
Really really great work!!!
Check out ours too, peace.
I wasn't a big fan of the pixellation filter, it garbles the text and makes everything look a little muddy.
Overall a fun, simple game that controls well and has some serious joy moments. The difficulty comes from the physics rather than the AI being strong!
:soccer: :goal:
The pixel filter effect gives the game a unique look that I like. The only downside is that the text gets a little blurry. Also, the slow motion is really nice.
I would love to see a networked multiplayer version of this!
Would be a very good mobile game for sure.
I know the pixel grid will probably divide people, but I really like it. The slow-mo was perfect, it was great seeing your guy flailing into the sky after you'd just scored. I think the AI feels like it knows what's going on, which is impressive, although it's perhaps a little too hard in the first few games.
Overall a great jam game, top marks in fun and humour, congrats :thumbsup:
Great job! :smile:
Visually it looks great, but I am pretty sad it lacks audio altogether. That could've really made this a contender for my favorite games.
I SO BADLY WANT OBNOXIOUS ANNOUNCER VOICES!
Very well done, I enjoyed this a lot. Great graphics and fun score! My one complaint was the Framerate had a lot of issues, it seemed to dip down very low for a lot of the game.
Spot on, the only thing I'm missing here is audio - some fitting announcers would be the cherry on top. Either totally random, or blase as hell. Just something to add eben more humour to this.
I absolutely love how the ragdoll mechanic makes the players look like 'meh, whatever'. Oh, I'm in the air? Now i did a faceplant, who cares. Straight up spat out my coffee (yes, it's 11pm here and I drink coffe, don't judge), I'm not even kidding.
What's best, it would already be a great game to release on mobile even in this state. I haven't had any issues, so I can't really give you any constructive criticism - You chose a simple mechanic, and it just works *so* well.
I was going to say something about the pixel shader, because it's not an exact pixelation - but it looks good, and reminds me of the huge displays, so it actually buys in into the football theme.
Great job. Please, pretty please, try to add the announcers :D
Cheers, and stay awesome!
It's a shame there is no audio - it would have been great to just hear you screaming "GOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!" every now and then...but I am sure you cad add all that later!
There's really not much else to say, except...
EN-GU-LUND!...
