@Dekobii many thanks for having tried my game!! You are right, I have removed it; it's my first Ludum Dare and I didn't pay attention to it!
Really fun. Excelent work, wanna check ours too?

@sandovictor17 thanks a lot! I will check as soon as possible!
Well, that was one of the funniest and most fun games I've played this jam so far. I think that the game could've been improved with some additional enemies that take more damage/higher ball velocity to kill because in the current state charging up your shots isn't very useful or efficient. That said I really like the game and as I've said before I had a lot of fun with it!
@LemonBalmGames Thanks a lot for your good words, I appreciate it!! Thanks for the advice, maybe I will improve with other enemies, when the jam is over! For now charging the shoot is useful to better score the goal and, most important, to make the enemies fly higher! ;)
I've been finding a very funny and fun game for this Ludum Dare and I have found one, I have been laughing the whole time, hahaha. I think as far as improvements, you could do waves of enemies, and then more movements for enemies to have more variety, but a very solid submission!
I think this is a shameless plug but if you have time, please also rate my game, Good job! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/beat-warriors
@von-vista I'm really happy of that! I'm not very good in creating stories, so my intent was just to create a funny game to make the player laugh!! The game is already organized in progressive waves, but it's not visible: the enemy number and frequency raise little by little.. maybe I can also raise the enemy speed and strength.
For sure I will check your work as soon as possible!!
"*Ugh.. my ball.. :laughing: *" haha I really enjoyed this game anyway, Nice work!
I saw the gif, I laughed. It's a nice minigame, the physics make it funny as hell. The audio is incredibly annoying at first, but it grew on me as time went by. I wish there were combos and I wish there was no charge meter to make the game more action packed. Still a very fun submission nonetheless.
5/5 would listen to screams again. It was really fun knocking the enemies around and trying to set up goal shots. However, it was frustrating when the ball would get stuck under an enemy since then I would just be waiting for death. If soccer were more like this I would watch more of it. Good work!
Hey guys, great submission! These are my thoughts:
**Good**
I always love voice sound effects. Good job.
I really like the idea of hitting the goal for the ball storm. I think it's creative and made the game more fun.
All the controls work well. Simple enough, which is always the best.
Thank you for not having any form of health bar, I like that it's one hit kill
The death effect is funny, and wacky in a good way
**Improvements**
When you go near the edge, the camera spans and you see like a black/empty part of the game. I'd try to expand the stadium for that part for a more emmersive experience.
I don't understand the point of the power. It seem to hit the same every time I hit it and everyone died no matter how hard I hit it. Make you could remove it.
Make it so the enemies walk on the field that the goal layer is in front of their layer. It's weird seeing them walk through the net to enter the field.
I'd add some particle effect of the ball scoring or hitting the players
Nice submission, see you in the next jam!
Nice job! It took me a while to realize that I wasn't supposed to be trying to score goals but once I started getting into it it was really funny! If you want to check our game out you can find it here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/dating-sim-hell
This is a great and pretty funny game you two've made, here! I really like the main gameplay and controls-- they're simple and a joy to play with, though with just the one soccer field it gets a bit repetitive quickly. I don't know if it's just me, but the sound effects were kind of grating and loud.
Nice work!
This is a super weird, but also super fun little game. I had a lot of fun playing it. Well done.
Good first jam! the scrolling was acting a little jerky for me (windowed mode, ultra graphics settings) but over all a fun little idea that with some refinement and some comical audio could make for a really fun arcade game! Good work :)
@Amazura @fanatrick @piscythe @travis-spuller @cole-and-jordan-studios @FarawayVision @jk5000 @hs-dave thanks to all of you for having tried our game! My purpose was right to create a weird simple game to make laugh, I'm happy that you liked it!
I will take care of all of your advices for future improvements, thanks a lot!
Hhahahah! This game is so funny ! Very nice work.
Good point for the humor!
I really liked this one, great graphics, fun gameplay and a good take on the theme!
Those sounds are killing me :) also ++ for camera shake
Very fun game. There is a strategy to find, cool game. Nice sounds :)
Nice game! I like the idea, reminds me of lower league games...
Pretty fun game, but I don't quite get why the ball doesn't bounce more, instead just stays in place of last hit enemy? I think that more bouncy ball would really add a bit of frenziness, one shot could bounce all around on multiple enemies, but also player would have been more careful about where he's shooting and with how much energy not to completely lose control of the ball. Anyways pretty nice entry, thanks for that! :)
Crazy and fun. Really liked the game
Hah! I had faaarrr too much fun with this game! :'D LOL! The mechanics were solid, the sound effects were hilarious and pinging people in low orbit with a well placed ball is satisfying AF, good job! At the end i got into sniping, rofl, where you aim just right to get a headshot.. Anyways, great stuff! Keep it up <3
Had to go back to your itch.io page to figure out how to play but once I knew the controls this was a lot of fun. Also the SFX were 100% on point!
@piller-yann @jonathan-lorenz @dan-matthews @pragmascript @krunoslav @dollarone @darkwing00duck @lost-dutchman-software thanks to everybody for having tried my game and for the good words!
@honey thanks for the advice! I started Unity in a couple of months and I haven't learned yet well to tune all the physics parameters: setting an high bounciness, the ball was jumping too high and it was impossible to play. Maybe tuning other parameters such as gravity scale, mass and friction, I could find a good balance! This is added to the refinement list!!
@utho you understand me!! It's a huge satisfaction throwing them around!
SFX , Artwork and camera shake were on point no question about it. I took a couple of headshots.
That made my day! Really hilarious!
The screen shake, as simple as it seems, adds quite a big effect to the kicks. The audio and visual were well done and fitting. The only thing that I would've like is the ability to kick the ball stronger :)
Genuinely funny game, I actually stuck with it for more minutes than I could count, it kinda... awakens something primal within you. That's the type of football/soccer I'd love to watch and play anytime. The sound design is superb, very rewarding!
Super fun game! The only thing I didn't get right is if you can make normal goals. Fun concept!
That was fun! I like the balls storm :) Good work!
Good job! Cool 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.

I had a great time playing it. Very fun, good job
Bringing the pain from above, with my mad football skills

While simple on the sides, I love how the game is straight up uncluttered action. A fun, interesting mechanics, with a lot of cheering and funny death sounds. I cracked out laughing when my character went GRAHRAGH and was send flying off the screen when they finally got to me. And the falling basketballs? Priceless.
I played a few rounds. It felt alright. A bit weird that Control cancels the shot. It could have been right click or something, I dunno. But still, this game felt very good to play.
[My team](twitter.com/whalesandgames) would like to compliment you for making use of very different themes and somehow sticking them together. Keep up the good work! :whale:
Cool game! I had a very similar concept for this jam: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/soccer-slasher
Great base gameplay, simple and efficient, still hilarious :) Maybe a sounddesign more unserious as the fun of the game
The game was good. It was a bit unclear as to what I was supposed to do. But once I got into it, it was fun, although a bit repetitive.
Way better than fifa 18. I found the game very engaging. I played the game without reading the description and had no problems. I also like the rigidbodies flying around. Its a really good base to start adding more content and polish, which i hop you will.
Great entry.
Extremely enjoyable game. Also very good sound effects :smile:
@flattutorials @guckstift @not-the-real-mark-zhang @shess @floc @cristiano-m-garcia @srabatata @gigichef @duck-games @mza @shape thank you everybody for having tried my game, I really appreciate it! As usual I'll consider all your suggestions for future improvements!
@macdoom thank you! You can score the goals only when they are red! Maybe I could change some rules in the future!
@moski thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed playing my game! Yes, now that I tried your game I agree with you on using the right click to cancel the shot!
@supernapie Thank you, I will play it!
Although I am not a football fan, I had to try this and boy it was fun to play. Really like the moment when you score the goal :) Truth is that you might consider to add some 'shouts' telling the player that now he can try to score or something. But I know that the time pressure is way to big during the jam (we are also missing a lot of things) but overall this is very good entry. Great job and I hope you'll do some extensions :) Cheers
Hi! Nice game!
Would you rate my game?
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/the-game-that-bad-that-it-is-actually-good
So much mayhem, so much fun!
Dash dash, miss :P cool combo game - I had a bit of a hard time getting into the control scheme - the base speed seemed just a bit too slow. Felt I only had one chance at hitting the ball each time. The dashes themselves were nice and swooshy, maybe just not my skillset. (I am horrible at bullet hells anyways)
Ideas for improvement: - Start off with a smaller 'own goal', which slowly gets bigger when you hit more balls (easier for noobs like me to get into it) - Higher speed, think it was a bit too slow - Life points - give me at least some margin of error :smile: - Powerups - life points, ball killers, bombs, speedups, shields for goal, etc
Nice submission. Very hard game (which is good). Achievement Unlocked: First Ludum Dare game!
Lol, this was pretty hilarious. Kind of simple, and there wasn't really much to do in the game (not too much content), and the speed at which you kicked the ball didn't really seem to matter too much, but it was still kinda fun anyways, and getting to see the rain of balls come down was definitely a highlight.
This guy sure can jump high though. Feels like he should really just quit soccer and become a basketball or volleyball player...or better yet, just do high jump and crush all the existing records. Jumping 4x your own body height is quite an impressive feat!
Finally got a chance to rate your game. THIS IS EPIC! Loved the gameplay and humour especially.
Btw, I got a high score of 30. I'm pretty bad at this. :laughing:
I open using safari browser. It shows a black screen with sound playing.
Nice game! The sound effects really had me laughing and I loved how far you got knocked into the air when you got caught. AWESOME WORK!
@oab I'm sorry but I don't have a Mac and I can't check! Have you tried with Chrome?
@jin9310 @peta @goffmog @joror @mintarcade @ddrkirbyisq @anubhav-kashyap @misterstripey thanks everybody for the nice words, the reviews and the suggestions, i really appreciate it! I studied Monogame for a while ( which is just code ) and I started Unity from a couple of months and for me was an awesome new world, with a nice visual interface and the management of all physics and other stuffs.
So I used this jam as an experiment for trying the nice features that this engine offers. I decided to create a simple game( many of you said that there is not much to do :) ), but adding some hilarious features to make it more funny and interesting. So I'm really happy that many of you enjoyed it, despite the simplicity! Thank you very much!
As a Millwall fan, I don't really see how soccer and violence are "incompatible genres".
...I jest. This is great fun! I feel like the power meter didn't work properly, or maybe I just wasn't holding the mouse down long enough? The gameplay gets a bit repetitive too, but the cheers of the crowd and the little "AAGH" sounds as the opponents go down just never got old. It's especially fun when you manage a trick shot, like firing a ball that goes over a player's head then bounces off the wall and hits him in the back. Very satisfying.
Made it to 61 before suffering my Tom & Jerry-esque demise. I really enjoyed this.
Hahahaha! This would be even better if the players ragdolled a bit more when they go flying. The sound effects to me really make the game. It may not have a great deal of depth, but I sure had fun with this one.
Holy crap, this is INTENSE! The scream they make when they die made me laugh soo hard x3
There were a few plays where the ball just dissapeared and I was like running away from a swarm of angry footballers, crying desperately.
Great job! This is a solid entry!
