Cool idea but the AI just wrecked me haha. Felt like the gun should have some more power on the ball and was pretty hard to get around. Movement a bit too slow I think.

Unique Idea, fun to play. I like the idea of using Landmines and Grenades at your disposal to score a goal.

2018-04-23 06:32

Awesome game with an unique concept .

avinash 2018-04-24 15:00

@Fanttum Thank you for the feedback. We have uploaded the new build with changes in gun power and AI difficulty. So do play the game again. Have fun!!

arzi 2018-04-25 14:45

I like the idea, but the game was way too difficult to be enjoyable. 1 vs 5 doesn't seem very fair?

nuthen 2018-05-01 14:50

I have to admit I couldn't score a goal. It was still really fun. Though I dig the western style, I think some other gadgets that are more immediate could have helped.

ted 2018-05-02 01:17

You're onto something, for sure. Some of the prescribed mechanics seemed impossible to pull off -- mines, for example: who has the time when 5 bots are chasing you? -- but other emergent behavior (trying to juggle the ball with bullets) was super fun. Would have loved to be able to shoot up the robots and take them out of the game while they were repaired. Might have leveled the playing field a bit!

phearbot 2018-05-02 01:18

Very nice! I didn't think it was too difficult personally, having the five robots I felt like was a decent way of dealing with the fact that multiplayer fps is extremely ambitious for a game jam.

I think it has some of the typical Unity pain points that also aren't easily ironed out in a game jam. (Things like the first person controller Unity provides out of the box is a little clunky).

I probably would have also positioned the guns off to the side slightly so you can see more of the model, but there's not anything necessarily wrong with the doom style gun coming out of the chest. ;)

Intresting idea,fun to play. Waiting for additions with opponents

I would be very glad if [you review my game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/last-stand-1) :mag:

This is an awesome combination of genres, it's really, really fun! The AI is a little too strong for me, but I could imagine this being an amazing (local) multiplayer game. I laughed to much when the ball hit a mine, there's just so much potential in this idea. Great job overall!

ratherjolly 2018-05-04 23:58

Awesome! You have some really well looking mechanics in this. Very Polished :) I wanna see where you take this! Good Job!

nicso 2018-05-05 12:42

The really high Sensitivity made it really hard to play (i bet you are on mac :) )

With a little more polish, i would totally imagine myself play this game with friends.

ballin 2018-05-05 13:25

Cool concept! Playing on a macbook air, the game was a little laggy, but the mechanics are great. And AI opponents are OP, pls nerf :(

wdebowicz 2018-05-05 19:44

That was a lot of fun! Looks like we had similar idea :-)

shivur 2018-05-05 20:46

What a fun game. Hard but when you start to master dribling with the ballon and make it go where you want the asymetric gameplay become in your favor. I think we have our next rocket league.

mr-madcat 2018-05-06 18:59

Cool idea.

Very hard to get into, but it is working qite well. Also the western atmoshpere is pretty neat.

Well done.

invader 2018-05-07 12:14

At first, I've considered making a turn-based soccer game. Now I'm happy I've chosen another concept - this game shows that soccer looks so much better when mixed with FPS genre. Good job! :)

goffmog 2018-05-11 18:30

Such a fun concept, this is so much better an idea that driving cars into balls ;)

corbak 2018-05-11 18:55

Really fun concept. i felt a bit sad that it was only 2 minutes and put me back always in my cage when it restarted. But anyway great game !

behenate 2018-05-11 19:24

That's a great game! Idea was great and it worked out really well. Gameplay is really fun and graphics are pretty good, definitely good for a Ludum Dare. I'm actually quite impressed how much you have packed into the game!

arbosis 2018-05-11 19:42

Well done. It's missing some colliders and I fell into nowhere, but overall it's a nice game.

tero-pulkkinen 2018-05-11 20:13

Looks like football game. I managed to throw some granades, and the ball moved a little, but never made a goal. Controlling the ball was more difficult than I expected, since I only found granades which allow moving the football. But the graphics responds nicely and explosions look nice.

captainpilot 2018-05-12 18:20

Really like the concept. Four bots on one seemed a little harsh, particularly when they all ganged up and shot is fast across to my goal.

geckoo1337 2018-05-12 19:43

Nice gameplay - some Rocket League with weapons. On-line mod could be really fun ++

magicera 2018-05-12 21:55

Damn! Your game is much cooler than mine(RTS+FPS)https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/rts-shooting.

ursagames 2018-05-13 06:32

Interesting concept! The two genres definitely have a satisfying synergy. I liked the western theme, but the weapons felt a bit out of place. Then again, shooting a soccer ball is out of place anyways from our norms. I think a little more impact from some of the bullets would felt a little better, but it was still fun! There's a lot of potential here that could be polished, good job!

mic-matrix91 2018-05-13 08:10

Very hard game! The mechanics and the AI are very polished, cool idea to use also the grenades and bombs, they add some interesting features to the game. The graphics are nice too, I like expecially the robot models! Very good job!

haharo 2018-05-13 18:56

I just played the JAM Version: I liked the choice of colors, the shadows are pretty too :3 My biggest problem (personal, not a game problem I think) is that I was walking around so I stepped into a gun and the game auto-pick the gun, I wish I had a button to do it

yaniv 2018-05-13 20:34

really fun!!!

oxygenium 2018-05-13 21:05

Fun game and nice idea. I think multiplayer will be fun for 2 vs 2 players.

mau 2018-05-13 21:33

Really fun but hard to play. Was like rocket league with guns.

glimaleite 2018-05-13 21:50

I'm so curious about how you implemented the AI! I got my arse handed down to me multiple times, lol. Even with bigger guns, I couldn't do a proper job, but I did manage to score once. Luckily, but no matter.

Congratulations! I's a fun, good looking and challenging game. As others said, multiplayer could be incredibly fun!

If you have time, please take a look at my entry here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/last-stand

teklarit 2018-05-14 15:28

Please update version on win (postjam). Fun game! Good work!

epb9000 2018-05-14 18:37

You managed to combine the two things I am the worst at: Sports and aiming. I liked the western ambiance. Pretty challenging. I lost a couple of games before calling it quits. The AI was pretty decent. (And I'm pretty terrible.)

hybitous 2018-05-14 19:36

Very fun idea! Though it is quite hard. Maybe an option for 1 vs 1 would allow players to have an easier start.

joe40001 2018-05-15 03:51

I streamed myself playing your game. You can watch the vod of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeVofreh9pA

(Starts at 31:40)

atridas 2018-05-15 14:55

Cool mix up. Makes me thing of rocket league (wich I've never played). Good work!

chriiis88 2018-05-15 16:50

Quite fun to play, although having no mouse sensivity slider makes it almost unplayable for me. Also it's kinda unfair that you play against 4(?) robots who can shoot a lot harder than you.

And, please, for the love of all that is holy, STOP SPAMMING THE FRONT PAGE with your game.
