How did you interpret the themes?
The game fuses three genres:

1. Rhythm game (the "Dance")
The ball bounces on the beat. The main challenge comes from there. Every input is beat-locked, you press it in time with the music. Miss a beat, break the streak, drop the ball.

2. Sports / football (the "Dribble")
The core loop is juggling and passing: a body part lights up, you hit its key to keep the ball alive, then aim a shrinking crosshair and pass to a teammate. The game uses classic soccer strategic structure (5-4-2, 4-4-3) and of course theme.

3. Horror shooter (the "Die")
House-of-the-Dead DNA and wolfstein. Zombie soldiers charge from the horizon, glowing-eyed and relentless. You have three lives. Lose them, and the game-over screen is a monster swallowing you whole. We wanted to make on rails like house of the dead, and incorporate the crosshair into the rhythm .

The idea is fabulous, but i feel the UX does not support that. Also, i was bitten by zombie too many times before i can finish my juggling. Give it a lot of polish and this game will shine! Rythm and soccer juggling is a natural fit.

What a WILD genre collision! Football + Rhythm + Horror Shooter = genius! Dribbling to the beat while the horde tackles you is so intense! The green/red crosshair for pass vs shoot and the streak shrinking the crosshair is such a clever mechanic. Return of the Passenstein haha! Love the Berlin Samba vibe! Three lives and I ALMOST got the big moustache man! ⚽️💃💀
