That was super fun! I liked playing it for about 2 minutes. I am afraid there's not a lot of content to keep the player for longer, but the pace and the engagement are very good! Well done!

BARKING IRONS (Jam version)Solid concept and execution, well done! The music is good but needs its volume reducing for the browser version. I got jumpscared by the title screen 🤣

Foul WritingGreat game! I enjoyed this one a lot! As someone elsed mentioned, a multiplayer mode might be great, but also hard to implement in the time frame. It would also be great if there was a time limit or some other goal like "First 10 goals" or something like this to give the player a satisfying end note (as far as I played, it just seemed to be endless mode) and being able to revive team mates (I think this is not an option as a player?). Also it was quite easy to score some goals, as there doesn't seem to be an AI for the goal keeper, but I also guess given the time limit this have been hard to implement. But as I said, great game! So far one of my favorites.

Space HunterHey! Thanks so much for your feedback!
I might try to add local Multiplayer before the jam ends (I love co-op indie titles). The code is very very messy and will need re-factoring but I might try since AI and games made it so we can do updates. I would be disappointed to take time away from my main project I've been working on but since people like it I don't see why not.
The game should end at ten goals but I believe it is first to ten not best of ten. It will just display a score saying like 10-1 or something. Then you can just restart again. I did add pseudo code to revive the player but didn't fully implement it yet. Could probably do that really easy today.
Yeah the goal keepers are pretty dumb. That's why I made the ref make jokes about them 🤣🤣. The goal keeper 'should' attempt to shoot at the ball / player. I'll see if I can get some of these things that won't take too much time away from my main project implemented this week 👍.
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaallllllllll!!!! Dude I love this game so much! I hope you make a full game out of this!! It's amazing!! This would be so fun to play with friends! The shooting was well done, snappy and satisfying! The ref was hilarious! xD The graphics were great!! Simple yet brilliant concept done very well. It almost reminded me of super dodge ball in spirit somehow but totally it's own thing. The music was awesome too! This is one of my favorites so far!! Fantastic work! :D

Wendell TankHaha. Thanks ♥️. Yeah I'm pretty disappointed I didn't get to add local co-op or local Vs mode yet. The code base is actually a complete mess (due to the time frame) but I will attempt to rip it apart and add local co-op at least for people who like it and for me to beat my kid at the game 😉. Gotta beat him at something 🤣.
Hey! Thanks for your comment!
Basically shoot the ball into the blue teams goal. Just like football / soccer but with guns. Your goal is on the left hand side and the opponents goal is on the right hand side. Shoot the ball into their goal to score a point. When they shoot the ball into your goal they get a point.
Let me know if that helps 👍.
Unless you're in the controls menu? Press escape to leave the menu and go to "start game".
Html 5 version now added so you can play in your browser! Let me know if any problems.
Known bugs:
When going to "Controls" via the menu you will be put straight into the game. This is to avoid a game crashing bug (for now until fixed). Control scheme is shown on the games page as well.
Controls menu is still useable in the downloadable pc version.
