I enjoy this, it took my a while to get used to the controls but I did it. I don't think I ever got back the enemies lead though.

ludum1118 2018-04-23 02:48

It's really missing a minimap

shoj92 2018-04-23 12:28

Like the aesthetic and game idea! Just had trouble with knowing what character was selected and dribbling.

spelos 2018-04-23 12:55

I love the specificity of Russia winning the Cold War, it gives it a subtle backstory. The gameplay was quite fun, though I'm really bad at this sort of games.

**Nice work!**

supertibbles 2018-04-23 14:59

THe controls were kind of weird, but once i got used to them the game was fun. good Job!

aaronacus 2018-04-23 15:29

The controls are a mess at the beginning and there are some players buged, but at the end was fun. Nice work!

fa 2018-04-23 15:55

Haha! I didn't get why you need a pass in this game. Kick, run, smash! KICK, RUN, SMASH!

akanthaur 2018-04-23 16:38

Player : Referee ! Someone is dying Referee: It's the war, buddy !

Cool game and great story ! Difficult at the beginning because of controls.

nash 2018-04-23 16:44

I like the theme, I would have definitely loved something like this as a kid! Aesthetics and story are also very cool.

The game plays a bit clunky. Controls are ok but everything seems a bit buggy and it is hard to control the ball. It is also hard to realize where you are in the playing field.

But overall, nice theme and mood. Some polishing and it could be a fun game!

selftitled 2018-04-23 17:27

I "beat" the opposition, actually I lost. Not really sure how to run with the ball. Nice idea.

matthew-roelle 2018-04-23 17:27

Took me a second to get used to the controls, but I like the beat-em-up sports mash up :) I had a weird graphical glitch where the characters would all start flickering but other than that I didn't notice any bugs, so great job there!

fashionbatman 2018-04-23 17:32

Difficult to know what is going on at the start, eventually got the hang of it though. Good job!

derek-volker 2018-04-23 17:56

@pahlsoftware, @shoj92, @supertibbles, @aaronacus, @akanthaur, @nash, @selftitled, @matthew-roelle, @fashionbatman sorry for the messy controls, i did what i could with the time given in order to deliver something. I really apreciate your feedback!

derek-volker 2018-04-23 17:57

@-FA- : That's the spirit!

ditzel 2018-04-23 18:11

Hi! Looks very nice. The Menu Screen is awesome. I got stuck in the wall after some time.

derek-volker 2018-04-23 18:32

Thansk @ditzel, im not quite the artist.

john-darrington 2018-04-23 18:32

Finding where I was on the field was pretty hard. I wasn't able to move diagonally with the ball very fell, and because of that my actions where pretty clunky. I liked the song, felt like I was playing Contra Soccer or some such. At the title screen/name I'd hoped you'd added some more humour or played on the Russian no rules soccer some more.

derek-volker 2018-04-23 18:34

Thanks for the feedback @john-darrington and sorry for the messy controls.

colin-misbach 2018-04-23 18:40

Love the graphics and music!

I didn't really hear any sound effects (maybe cause the music was too loud), which would have helped in my opinion. The game play is a big jagged, but I don't think that's a big concern considering it was a compo submission. With a little work it could become a go-to soccer game!

The animations really sold it for me. It felt very nice to just move around.

Nice work!

derek-volker 2018-04-23 18:42

Thanks for the kind words @colin-misbach. It does not really have any sound effects, only the music. At first i though in narrating and adding sounds for kicking and attacking but due to time limitations it was not possible.

odd1in 2018-04-23 20:10

The controls were confusing at first but afeterwards it was fun.

zanhava 2018-04-23 20:48

This has a lot of potential.

morphine 2018-04-23 23:02

ha ha ha - I love the description, I'm not sure if it was just me but sometimes the controls appeared to not work and then start working again. Maybe it's just the web gl thing.

paulo-brunassi 2018-04-24 00:54

It reminds me of a little game that kids here in Brazil play called "FUT-PORRADA" fun game and the track is amazinng!

drludos 2018-04-24 01:32

Wonderful idea, it reminds me of World Cup on NES!

Like others here, I had to struggle a bit with the controls at first, but then I managed to win by beating all the opponent players before kicking the ball into their goal!

The music is wonderful, and I like the overall story / mood.

To improve controls, maybe you could try to have the ball follow the player (for now it follow him for a few seconds only. It forced me to use Pass a lot instead)

jungle 2018-04-24 04:03

Nice entry. It should be called "another normal day in Russia". Very funny game. Congratulations for make it by your own.

call-me-nutty 2018-04-24 13:48

Still needs some polishing. The controls like most other people said are a bit rough around the edges. I liked the art and the music was pretty fitting (though not my thing). I found it nearly impossible to actually lock on the ball and do some actual dribbling.

A passing and shooting sound would've given the game a nice juice that I feel is missing. With some work this can become a pretty fun sports game. It's just a bit rough.

derek-volker 2018-04-25 00:50

Thanks for the comments and suggestions @drludos and @Call_me_Nutty . I am figuring out yet what to do from now on but i appreciate you taking your time to play this game.

tomeks 2018-04-25 06:52

funny game, sometimes I was just lost, would love to get arrow indicators on where my players are, Liked the throw in with one guy popping there. AI a bit buggy at times. Overall nice idea and good effort.

belowparallel-ian 2018-05-01 23:48

You made two really hype retro video game style songs in less than 48 hours (while also creating this game in that same time frame). That alone is something to be proud of. The graphics I like a lot. The game concept I like a lot. The gameplay mechancis need some work to make the game more fun, but this is a terrific start and a great LD entry.

macdoom 2018-05-04 04:51

HAHAHA! Cool game! Reminds me a bit of Tecmo's world cup and arcade's "arch rivals". Controls are a bit funky but you can get used to it after a while. The best defense is a strong offense! Super fun entry! Congratulations!

Come and try mine! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/tactical-hydra

elhombrebanana 2018-05-15 09:51

I felt so lost xD The players bugged and I was off screen most of the time.

The concept is good, and the gameplay feels nice tho, congrats!

Many football fans very often decide to apply their knowledge about this sport in order to earn some money. I'm talking about sports betting. But very often people fall into the traps of scammers who do not pay them winnings. To warn football fans from scammers, I would like to advise a private bookmaker [https://1xbet.info.ke/](https://1xbet.info.ke/). It pays out winnings honestly and gives amazing bonuses. Glad to share this with you.

I’ve always enjoyed gambling, it’s always been a fun activity for me and it’s really brought me a very good income. I suggest you give it a try if you have never done it before.
