Very nice! Hey, I screwed up the link on mine, so you couldn't play it. I've since fixed it. Mind taking another look? http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-25/?action=preview&uid=15134

Pitch-perfect 8-bit style, and playing as the referee is everything I'd hoped for.
Nicely realized, doctor.
Pretty funzos I would say. Love the cutscenes.
Nicely done! Great music, graphics were nice too. I had a blast playing, especially as the Referee.
Loved this game. Had a good laugh playing as the referee.
That's cool, I found the controls a bit tricky though.
I ejected all players out and get called, ha ha. Playing as an referee is pretty good idea.
Great work on creating sport simulation game within the range of short time frame.
Terrific idea! Playing as the ref was very funny. Found it tricky to shoot on the normal game though.
Wow! Really impressed that you could put together such a good sports game from scratch in 2 days. Not to mention a really fun third mode. Awesome work! Really love the chiptunes and graphics.
The flames were a nice touch.
Very refreshing to play this type of game in Ludum dare. It really brought back some memories. It was definitely buggy, but I had a lot of fun playing.
Woooow Nice :) That's amazing and the AI is nice :)
Good: Nice hockey implementation and nice to be able to play as the umpire =)
Improve: i never felt bad (theme?)
Cool! I really enjoyed playing it! Really nice graphics, especially the drawings when you score etc. Could've used something more original for the gameplay maybe.
Blades of steel! Amazing work! Superb audio effects and music. Great job!
Oh god this was great. I can't even say more.
This is AMAZING! I love how open-ended it is, so I can steal another player's stick or have my goalie suddenly leave the net and score on a breakaway :) Every sports game should be like this.
Absolutely brilliant! Hahaha Great 8-bit fun compounded by a the ref gameplay.
This is amazing. Nice work. Playing as the referee was awesome!
This is fun. A couple things seemed odd to me (goalies being opposite colours of the rest of their team, for one) and you could score by sliding into the net from behind, but that aside, it's a lot of fun.
I found it really hard to arouse suspicion by just /playing/ but if you kick people out who didn't do anything wrong, well...makes it easier. You'd think once the referee scored a goal everyone would stop and go "hang on a second..." Nope. Didn't even TRY playing as an actual hockey team; ref was too fun.
Some of the players started getting REALLY mad at me though.
So hilarious! Playing as the ultimate villain... a totally biased ref! Great art and sound. REALLY good stuff!
Scoring from the back of the net is a bug (fixed in jam version) but the goalies shouldn't be opposite colors..? Did you really see that?
Quite amazing. After all the players were gone I kind of wanted to eject myself. :D
I'm impressed that this was built in a weekend, but it's not as good as NES Ice Hockey. One major difference I noticed between the two is that in Ice Hockey, you can switch instantly to the nearest player to the puck, while in this game it seems to pass through a predefined ordering, which is less helpful. It's a tough play, I couldn't score a goal.
pretty tight game, really reminiscent of days of yore. great audio.
Playing as the referee is a great idea for the "You are the villain" theme ^^
Really enjoyed the music, but found the game pretty much impossible to win... I liked the ref game though, it was pretty funny! I'm assuming that all of the players having a 7 on their jersey is a reference to your username?
Yes sorta. :) It's actually my name as I am literally the VIIth, but also, it's not like I was gonna draw a different graphic for every player, so I had to pick something! :)
I really liked the concept but I didn't fully understand what was going on in the first time I played (kept being knocked over as a player, also played randomly as a referee and eventually won the game even though I wasn't certain of what I was supposed to do)... Maybe it's because I'm not so much familiar with hockey.
I love the NES Hockey reference though :)
#7 nails it yet again. Pro skills.
Hehe, nice one. I enjoyed being the referee and screwing with both teams, but couldn't really find out why I'm the villain...
Beautiful music!
