Nice game, quite hard but fun to play.

As a soccer fan, I really like the game idea.
It lacks instructions and more options to control and edit the players actions, so it end being hard. But I like the challenge.
Notice some imprecise detection on the goal. I scored 1 goal but the game says the ball was off.

@DuduSAr: thanks for the feedback. I regretted after I submitted not having a "delete last action" button, and also a button to clear all players' instructions - I think the current method of clearing all of a single player's instructions is a bit frustrating. And yeah, the collision detection is pretty dodgy - I went for features over polish for this game!

Very cool use of the theme. It was kinda hard, but not frustrating. I think you gave good options to play around. This could be fun on mobile ;)

Gets really frustrating really fast (especially if you don't remember to right click for another player...) but the concept here is especially fun! You should really do a post-compo! Shame the difficulty apparently threw so many people from playing it :(

A really smart idea and well executed. The players were much more intelligent than I was expecting.

Took me a while to get used to playing the game. It's like trying to animate the players/ball blindly around the field. Managed to beat all the scenarios but I did have to restart the game a few times because of a random error I can't reproduce (should've added logs)

I'm a football fan and this game is really great !
In the box is to easy. Corner is ok. The two others are the most difficult. Great game again. :)

Don't know why but I like everytime I find a sports game entry!

This was insanely fun, once you get the hang of it you can create really cool strategies. But the controls are not so well executed, There need to much easier ways to manipulate the commands you give to players rather than "append another one" and "clear them all".
Now I wish there were more scenarios, but since you made it that easily extensible, I'm going to try to create some on my own.

Great use of the theme. I enjoyed it even if I don't like soccer. it remind me an indie game I played once...with similar mechanics

noddy2006 2013-09-02 23:59

Thanks for the feedback everyone! All of it is very much appreciated. Definitely considering a post-comp version now!

@klianc09: I'm glad you noticed how straightforward it is to create your own scenarios - thanks for reminding me to put that in the description too :P.

I really liked the idea, but it was a bit too hard for me. :)

I think this could be a really fun game with some more tweaking (the controls for example) as the basic idea is a fun one. :)

Great game! Some scenarios can get a bit hard, but it's fun to try new ways to make goals anyway. Very creative use of the theme.

This was really fun! I do not understand sports in the least, but I managed to get what to do eventually :D You managed to get a lot of stuff into this game, very cool!
