Done playing fair? Time to mow people down, just don’t forget the ref is watching, and he's not cool with it...

Game interrupts for power ups way too often and that makes pretty weird difficulty curve, instead of difficulty increasing, it deacreases. Gameplay needs a lot of work.

Fits theme quite well, leaderboard, soccer field, no goals nor ball itself but it's ok

Game has primitive style and this bloom (glow) effect looks like I forgot to clean my glasses (I HATE THIS EFFECT)

Sound side of the game is quite good, especially SFX.

I made referee blind

Got interrupted every 2 second for an upgrade, that made the game unenjoyable :(

unique and cool idea! like many others have mentioned, I also feel like the upgrades system needs a rework. not just with the amounts, but they also become so frequent as the multiplayer grows that they interrupt the game-play after every tackle.

We were balancing the game but run out of time.. we will update the game asap! Thanks for playing the game :)

Now this is a unique game! My only feedback for this one is to make a system where player get punished by playing safe, maybe create a special enemy where it has objective to score a goal and player have to rush preventing it from happening

Developer

Thanks for the suggestion and for playing the game!

Had fun with the game eventually became impossible to lose. Took out the referees eyes and became a speedster flying through the field.I think scaling the amount of points needed to get an upgrade could help make the game a slight bit more difficult. After like around 5x multiplier i was getting upgrades after every kill, which was fun but made it impossible to lose after blinding the ref.  I need to see fifa hold a cup where the ref is blind after this. Good job on the game!

Developer

Yes we were balancing the game but run out of time :(
Thank you for playing!

It was fun to take away the referees vision and then make everything giant lol.

The game is fun but I think it needs more variety elemnts to make it pop even more, some kind of combo system prehaps, overall pretty cool premise.

AHAHHAHA, join the club!

Big Boys Club best feature of the game!!

Other than being a bit too easy and the song repetitive, it's fun. (☆▽☆) Art is simple and cute which I like 👌

Developer(+1)

yes, right now the buffs are not so balanced, so overtime you'll get stronger than them and it makes the game easy.
appreciate that you like the art! thanks!

Developer(+1)

Yes we need to balance the game for sure! Thanks for the feedbacks!

Submitted(+1)

I think that enemy is a little bit underpowered, but overall this is a good game

Developer

you think so? did you take some powerups?

Submitted

I've tried to die on purpose , it was hard :D

Developer

ah sorry i red "overpowered" ahhaha. yes the problem is the powerup system that is not balanced

Submitted(+1)

It's okay, I firstly thought that this is comments for a my game where "red is a little bit overpowered" so we're in the same boat :D

Submitted(+1)

Great game! A lot of depth for such a short jam, great job!

Developer

thanks! i think we missed a bit on the balancing of the powerups, if we had that done i think this would have been even funnier!

Submitted(+2)

cool game to play, i like the simplicity of it 

Developer

Thank you so much!

Submitted(+2)

Game was fun and hilarious, the ancle break sound gave me chills xD

Well made!!

Developer

pure satisfaction right there. thanks!

Submitted(+2)

Game was fun but at some point it becomes impossible to lose. If the amount of points required to get an upgrade increased exponentially i think it would be more balanced. At this point the ref is blind and I cant even find a way to end the game. The sound effects and visuals were really nice tho. W game.

Developer

You’re totally right, the upgrade curve is too forgiving right now, so it’s possible to reach a “god mode” state. An exponential cost would definitely fix that. We will sure balance the game.

Really happy you liked the visuals and sound though, thanks for playing!

Developer (1 edit)

Yes, you are totally right. 
The real challenge is to be good in managing the buffs to not become overpowered and be able to submit a score, hehe.

But c'mon, look at those cute giants
