Pretty good! I laughed when I got through the first goal and realized I had to keep the ball. It's surprisingly fun and addictive for a simple concept.

Pretty good! I laughed when I got through the first goal and realized I had to keep the ball. It's surprisingly fun and addictive for a simple concept.
The graphics and sound effects is really good. And the idea for the game is super fun, but playing it is very difficult.
Can I keep the ball after I shooted? Sometimes, the ball is fallout in the beginning. The graphics and sound is good, but the game is very difficult. Good job!
This is nice, though I really wish I could move left and right so I can catch my ball easier!
What a wacky concept and it is surprisingly fun! I think the game is a bit too punishing - if you miss, you are out. I would hope that the ball would respawn after a short amount of time.
But overall, nice twist on a pretty boring genre - making it surprising and fun for a while again.
Man, I thought regular Flappy Bird was hard, but this... this is just brutal. A fantastic demonstration of incompatibility, and somehow it makes you want to keep retrying even when 60% of the time you miss the very first goal. Nice job!
I am wondering, how can I score a goal? I've tried so many times and haven't yet succeeded.
It didn't seem to work in Firefox, but worked just fine in Edge. I like the game overall, the slight twist on Flappy Bird. I didn't realize you had to catch the ball first! I made it to 4, which I guess is good enough!

Thank you all for reviews!
@Ruoyu - you need to catch the ball and the shoot it using the Enter key, hit the goal, and then catch the ball again so you can clear the next goal.
@Ben Pearson - thank you much for the video review!
Hi Teo, thanks for you feedback on our game.
Really fun little game even if it is realllllly hard :)
Maybe you should put the phrase "Please for playing use Chrome, or Safari, I found out this game currently doesn’t work on Firefox." in bold because I waited 2mn for the game to start before coming back on the page to check :)
Great work !
Probably the most incompatible genre merge with flappy bird I've encountered up to now. Good job at that.
Nice game. Took me quite a while to figure out how to even keep the ball, but after that it got fun!
Solid entry :)!
It's soooo hardddd!!!!
Great game! :D
One of the most fun games I played so far, as a fan of rage games myself and flappy bird, you managed to make the game more harder than it is, I was laughing the whole time because I fail so much, this is a very interesting take on flappy bird, good job!
Here is another game in the flappy genre: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/just-one-more-flap
Sounds and the startup screen could use some work, but gosh what a great idea! I really liked it! At first I thought it was enough with getting past goals, but soon I lost the ball and failed :D
Great game and idea! Keep it up!
Nice work! I enjoyed the game quite a bit, found myself playing longer than I had planned to try and get a better score (managed to get 7 only...) I agree with others that the startup screen is a bit weird, however I think the sounds were nice. The graphics were okay, not awesomely pretty, but not the worst I've seen either.
Your game is quite a nice entry, with some enjoyable and addictive gameplay. :) Good work!
Oooh, an interesting take on the flappy birds genre!
Onto the feedback:
**Overall** Overall congratulations on your entry, it's an interesting idea, but there are some things that could have been done better.
**Theme** Funny combination actually. Good job on that!
**Graphics** Graphics are good, could ofc be better, but as you've done it solo it's quite a good achievement!
**Audio** As for audio, was nice. Only the restart each time you fall of the main menu was a bit weird, but beside that the audio felt good in place for the game!
**Gameplay** Gameplay wise it's nice! Really challenging, like alot! Especially cause u need to think not only of going high enough to passthrough but also remove the goals through scoring with the bal. While I get the idea of having the bal not go horizontal, it's just too hard other wise. If you could do it just horizontally the player would understand it much easier and it would still be difficult as hell. The other thing that's weird is that if you miss, the ball gets knocked back, and 90% of the time you'll lose it. Maybe make it so that the ball will bounce of the sreen, so that it will always stay in the place for u to get it back?
Nonetheless, I enjoyed the minutes I played the game for, and we understand the hard work needed to create something like this! 😊 Our team also worked hard to create a game for the jam. You can check it out [here](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/wizsnooks)! 🐳
Really enjoy the idea, not the biggest fan of the flappy genre, but the additional soccer element created a fresh take on a tired genre!

A very cool idea that could've used a bit more polish. However, what you've managed to put into the game is already quite fun. It's also really difficult but that's probably because I'm not exactly a Flappy Bird veteran. On the whole Flappy Soccer is a promising first LD entry. Cheers!
Very cool idea, quite hard but also fun to play!
This was a really creative idea and definitely worked with the theme. It was way too hard for me and the farthest I got was two goals but I can see it being really fun if you took the time to get better at it. With some polish and maybe lowering the amount of blank space until the first goal it could be a really nice mobile game or something.
fun game, very hard tho. My best was 4 goals :P
