Nice game! It became really fun once I got the hang of it. My best score was 824 points! One small thing that confused me at the begging is that I got the "game over" message without touching any of the red zones, then I realized that the way to lose in this game is to not have any pieces left. I would suggest putting a "you ran out of pieces" message below the "game over" or making the pieces number flash when it gets to 0, so that you know why you've lost.

I really liked the idea for this game, but I think that there are a few confusing things that with simple changes could improve the game even more.
- Sometimes it's hard to tell how far your robot is inside the football field. This is probably because the camera is placed on the side. To improve this you could try placing the camera in a more top-down fashion, placing it on your goal and facing the opponent's or adopting a 3rd or 1st person camera.
- It can be difficult to tell at which height the ball is at. To improve this you could make it cast a shadow downward or show an indicator like Rocket League does. I think they probably had to deal with similar problems so it can be a good reference to look into.
In general, having different lights that illuminate the objects would also help to spot where they are and to make everything look even better.
Thanks for making this game, it was really fun to play!
