Power Play by reuno
PowerPlay lets you play as the last rugbyman in a world overridden by robots. To save mankind, you need to defeat an army of rugbybots in a match of the old gentleman's game. No need to know the rules, these bots don't know them either.
Your power will keep running out though, and you'll need to pick power-ups on the field to get a temporary boost and be able to kill some of those pesky robots. If you let your power level run too low, you'll get slower and probably die an horrible death soon enough.

It features 3 (or maybe 4?) types of enemies, 40+ levels, and a lot of stupid ways to die.
Just like for all my other gamejams, the music is my band's, Uniform Motion, check us out!
I coded and designed PowerPlay from scratch, on my own, in around 60 hours, using Unity, Photoshop, After Effects, Cinema4D, AssetForge, XSplit and Github. And Spotify all along.
Here are a few screenshots:

The controls of the game are good and the particles give a good touch to the game.
By the way, the game over seems to take so long to appear, maybe shorten it a little bit. ^^
Maybe you need to work on fun site of the game, do some motivation to player.
But overall
I's great game. I hope you will continue on working on this.
Best regards.

I almost forgot to add.
# The visuals are so fu---ng awesome !!!!!!
If anything, sometimes the random enemy placement can be a bit unfair (e.g. one of the speeding ones just behind you at the start of level 3), maybe the stronger enemies could be placed further in the level to counter the RNG (by giving the player enough time to adapt/react to the enemy positioning).
Nevertheless, the game plays very smoothly; the controls are very polished, and it is very fun to run just between two enemies.
I don't know why but I like to see blood in the game. I'm not telling you to change the core gameplay, but while playing, I really wanted something to hit the rivals with. I like to hit them in respond.
but totally, the gameplay felt so good.
Btw I couldn't reach level 6. It got so difficult.and that was my fault. the difficulty was ok.
I do like to have some more abilities, like a jump or just to kick the ball :)
All in all one of the very best entries i have played so far!
The graphics are amazing - cohesive colors, simple shapes that let me know what's going on - I know your post-mortem said you're not really good at modelling but I think the graphics are one of the best in this LD. Music is really great; I think it fits the calm/minimal art style well; I think the BPM could be sped up a bit to match the action going on. Regarding the gameplay, it's at a perfect difficulty for me. The only thing I'd add there is that I'd like to know more about the powerups/ different types of enemies. I'd rather play the game than try to figure out what those things are. Again, awesome work, especially for one person; my advice is nitpicking. Looking forward to your future work.
- AI of this game is very well balanced
- +5 For graphic's
