Link leads to 404 :/

ditzel 2018-04-22 19:59

It's not done yet! :smiley:

spthiel 2018-04-22 21:11

oh okay. well then HYPE!

ditzel 2018-04-23 04:55

Should be playable since the end of compo.

pixelhurricane 2018-04-23 05:14

Hey man, both links are still dead. I'd love to give you game a go though. think you'll have it up soon?

rodel77 2018-04-23 05:14

Looks interesting, you get the "battle royale with cheese" thing from Jonathan Blow?

habeeb-mohammed 2018-04-23 05:40

HTML5 link is dead :(

pandademic42 2018-04-23 05:53

@ me when HTML is live

ditzel 2018-04-23 07:17

@Pixelhurricane @rodel77 @pandademic42 @Habeeb Mohammed @spthiel Sorry, did not set it to "public". I could see it on itch.io. :smile: Now you should see it as well!

pixelhurricane 2018-04-23 07:21

@ditzel yep, that did the trick. playing it right now!

pixelhurricane 2018-04-23 07:29

overall it's pretty fun to run around and kick balls at people, but i think the thing that hurts this the most is that without a way to protect your own goal (aside from puppy guarding it) it can feel fairly random and disappointing to just all of a sudden be dead.

other than that though I had a pretty good time overall 3/5

fashionbatman 2018-04-23 08:26

This was amazing! A really good take on the battle royale genre. The circle felt a bit too big for me, but that was my only issue. Great job!

thezingthing 2018-04-23 08:43

Great concept, if this was multiplayer it would be... interesting. Anyway, great game. Well done!

tutti-ankka 2018-04-23 08:46

The concept was truly interesting, not your usual battle roayle! I had problems trying to kick the balls to other people goals (maybe i was just bad). Fun little game anyway!

andreadbx 2018-04-23 08:53

Intresting take on football actually, fun to play, ofc a game like this would be truly fun in multiplayer rather than single

gemberkoekje 2018-04-23 09:31

Interesting little game, though I'm not sure what the right tactics are. A post-compo multiplayer version of this would be hilarious!

yohoho-games-2 2018-04-23 10:26

more balls, more soccer! great idea of ​​combining football! we also tried to combine football with Battle Royal but eventually changed our mind and made a football shooter one on one) you can see the game) but your game is certainly fun

apace 2018-04-23 10:34

I had a few problems running it on my machine, as it was really laggy, especially as soon as the AI players reached the middle of the field. It ran at about 3 FPS. But you are not to blame, as my laptop is quite old already and there's not a lot of time for optimization during LD. :D However, I really liked the idea and concept, as well as the graphics. :)

ditzel 2018-04-23 10:42

@Apace The executable runs way faster than the browser.

robinbyzhou 2018-04-23 11:14

OMG I love this!!! The concept is really fantastic. Also making different AI in 48h, really good job! Only one small thing is the control and camera can be better. Anyway, really enjoy it~

ditzel 2018-04-23 12:04

@RobinbyZhou Yes, there is an AI that just runs to the closest ball and a different one just try to keep their goal clear.

call-me-nutty 2018-04-23 12:49

Wow, what a great silly concept! I was following your blog posts expecting something pretty ok but this is just stupid fun. It's a bit rough with some of the animations and AI but it's a very entertaining little time waster. Just some tweaking needed to make it even better. Also, the web version does indeed lag quite a bit, which seems to be a common problem.

sheehan 2018-04-23 16:39

Ha great concept! It would have been cool if the circle updated in real time instead of just reloading the level

ditzel 2018-04-23 17:00

@sheehan I wanted to keep it as "Battle Royale" as possible.

derek-volker 2018-04-23 17:08

Really nice concept!

2018-04-23 17:26

Haha, that was fun! I loved the concept. Sad that it wasn't Multiplayer because me and my mates saw your post on the front page and were dying to play against eachother! Still, good job! Thanks :)

jesper-k 2018-04-23 17:32

Pretty cool, had fun playing it :-D Tried impossible mode and all came storming towards my goal :-o The mouse camera controls could have been a better though, maybe a bit faster :-)

jiri-one 2018-04-23 17:32

Very fun game, would be super if it was multiplayer but that (I think) way too hard for a jam.

ditzel 2018-04-23 20:04

@Jiri_One Yes, I got a lot of other stuff to do this weekend. It was smashed together in 13 productive hours.

loosegoose 2018-04-23 22:09

What a hilarious concept! the gameplay is good, but would benefit from an actual online setup with two member squads but there's obviously no point in getting something like that together for a game jam. Maybe a more elegant camera control system would help it but as is it's super playable

rodrigo-denubila 2018-04-24 02:27

Great concept for the jam theme... I had a lot of fun playing this. Great job!

ludum1118 2018-04-24 03:11

Only thing missing is for player to have a machine gun.

landosystems 2018-04-24 07:02

That's a neat way to make a soccer based battle royale. It could develop into something fairly cool with multiplayer. Nice job!

sanjeev 2018-04-24 13:05

Pretty funny take on the battle royale genre. This could be pretty fun if you had teammates to play with. Also, the impossible difficulty was hilarious. Nice work!

radmccool 2018-04-25 14:49

just seen this on rockpapershotgun lol https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2018/04/25/soccer-battle-royale-is-obviously-the-future-of-the-genre/#more-537343

jfraser314 2018-04-25 17:58

Pretty funny, even on easy I wasn't very good. I wish there was a sprint button.

derlassehenrich 2018-04-25 18:14

That's a pretty cool idea and really funny.

captainpilot 2018-04-25 20:28

Really great concept and execution, not exactly sure how I die, it just seems to happen in the middle of action

hi-im-greg 2018-04-25 20:40

Great mix of two genres, fun but not overly well explained at first. Would love to see this in multiplayer!

fil089 2018-04-25 21:11

Gotta say that you nailed the theme of the jam. Football is suppose to be you trying to score goals against your opponent while a Battle Royale sees you trying to avoid confrontation so you are the last man standing. Offense vs Defense.

But I gotta say I don't like elimination style games, so... I have nothing for ya. Sorry.

Maybe tank style controls for a soocer game are obnoxious, but I don't know if you have done a soccer-style game before, because I expected ball-player magnetization and better kicking controls but all I got was "nudge" forward and kick the ball...

lost-dutchman-software 2018-04-26 03:07

I saw this one on my Google news feed and knew I had to play it! Very fun, Please PLEASE make a multiplayer version of this.

toulou 2018-04-26 11:45

The controls are very weird, it's quite hard to shoot the ball somewhere. But aside from that, that's one of the best game I've played so far ! The idea is so crazy yet so fun, I love it ! Congratulation for your game, definitely one of my favorite.

sinemual 2018-04-26 12:56

Good idea! But a lot of opponents, as for me)

velocity7 2018-04-26 13:03

hahahaha Nice idea. Impossible is cheating dude. Everyone is scoring in our goal. That's 1v99

r4ndomthunder 2018-04-26 20:59

Good mix! Now the world need an online multiplayer version of this game!

If you want you can try my game on this link: [Scarry](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/scarry)

dan-matthews 2018-04-26 20:59

Fun game, quite difficult though!

mau 2018-04-26 21:06

Funny game.

aerosavior 2018-04-26 21:25

It's difficult to hit the ball, which leads stagnant gameplay as im just afk in my own goal

bluemirror 2018-04-27 10:31

I think the playing field is to big, with goals to close to each other. Sprinting would help to play aggresiv, and then sprint back to your goal. But usually you have to stay in your goal. Maybe less balls to keep track off => Making it possible to know that you can go aggresiv, since there is no ball close to your goal. Maybe way less people, so that everyone knocked out feels like a great achievment. For the sake of the theme you did it like this and it was really fun. So the list above is just for "if you drop the theme" those are things I suggest trying out. Who knows which one of these makes the game the best it can be.

Well done!

mariosmaniatis 2018-04-27 19:46

Easily on top 5 of this ludum dare!

ohfiddlediddle 2018-04-28 06:18

Love it, please continue working on it. The gameplay is super fun and the "Mouse Look" option made it even better again. Well done, keep up the great work.

roaderful 2018-04-28 06:42

Nice game, both graphics and audio could be improved but being a compo :clap: :clap: :clap: sure is great that you have it working on many platforms

nickmarcha 2018-04-28 13:36

Amazing combination, impressed with the AI.

frozencow 2018-04-28 20:04

Haha, nice idea. Played well. Fits the theme greatly. The jumping controls were a bit fiddly, but still had a good time. This should really be an addition to Fifa or something similar :P

ditzel 2018-04-29 09:11

@NickMarcha It's not magic. They have only two strategies. 1. Run to the next ball => shoot if you're close to it 2. Keep between your goal and the next ball => shoot if you're close to it

[Edit] And the impossible one: Go in line with the players goal and the ball => shoot if you're close to it

goat-toaster-games 2018-04-29 11:38

Haha this was nuts!! Great submission :)

sharks 2018-04-29 13:20

Solid!

masterkrepta 2018-04-30 23:30

This was a lot of fun. i think it might have played better if you had a way to strafe as you run up to the ball, it might have been easier to control my aim,

kromeboy 2018-05-03 16:38

Funny concept. It may need a little more polish in the sound department, and also in player control but the idea is solid. With multiplayer this could be a great game!

loudrasiel 2018-05-03 20:44

this is amazing

anagf 2018-05-06 06:40

It's a great combination. Actually it's working fine in Android. Simple but funny! Well done!

mr-chocolatesalmon 2018-05-08 05:01

Awesome. Some sound would have been nice, especially with the feel-good soundtrack in the trailer, but the game was fun regardless. Clean and simple, and the impossible difficulty put on a smile on my face. Good job :)

cristiano-m-garcia 2018-05-11 23:05

Very fun and funny. I found it very difficult to know where my goal was to try to defend. Congratulations for the game.

I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.

I hope you continue with the project.
