I think the idea of a football boss rush is so unique and fun.

The art reminds me alot of sensible soccer and fits the idea well.

One thing I'll say is i wasn't sure when i could or couldn't shoot, but other than that i think it's pretty fun. Good job!

Unique take on the theme! Reminds me of those soccer games I'd play on old phones... until the boss part kicked in that is. There's a lot going on on screen that I kind of wished the shooting process was easier. Took me a while to realize I needed to point at a ball around the character to shoot it, and then it was hard to focus on the power meter to kick the ball. There's def a learning curve, but otherwise cool game.

Really like that 2.5D thing you have going on here! Im not much of a soccer/sports game fan in general but i think this game was fun + a cool take on the theme spin!

(P.S.: If you're willing to I'd love it if you can rate and leave some feedback on my game! This is my first ever jam and I'd love to see where I can improve for the future!)

I like the visuals overal, the effects are nice, I specially like the transformation of the field when we enter and we think its a normal football field haha, I would advice to make the player move a bit faster, but maybe its only my personal liking, I rate graphics, fun, control and music on top, but all is great, also, if you have some time, please, rate my game too, thanks!!!

In my opinion, a very different concept compared to most jam games. One of the most fun to play.

Cool game. 

An interesting idea and a cool design of details, as well as the game, but unfortunately I didn’t understand at all what to do besides walking :( somehow I kicked the ball once and then trying to repeat it, nothing worked

playing this soccer game is fun.

One of the most interesting ideas so far and I like the idea of having a fightw with the referee. :-) Good job and definitely has a potential of becoming a roguelike football game.

Okay i really like this as a game but the most annoying part is the part i think you added for theme, the spinning to select balls haha. Also as others have mentioned first level is very overwhelming with projectiles. But a really cool concept and its really fun to score goals!

Really fun idea and really fun concept! I love the concept of dealing damage to a goalie boss by scoring. But I feel like the first boss has WAY too much going on. You have to avoid a ton of projectiles while avoiding the enemy team and also choose a ball to shoot with AND keep an eye on your power gauge. I personally feel like the power gauge is unnecessary and adds just yet another thing to keep an eye on. Still, fun and neat game!

Very funny! It's a concept that makes you want to see lots of other bosses and lots of other game mechanics.

The first boss was very overloaded with projectiles to avoid. So I think I preferred the second, which was less chaotic and more strategic.

The art is also very beautiful :D

Bravo!

Thanks! Will do!

Really great game, It took me a second to realize I had to be turned where there was a ball to actually kick it, but after I got going there was no stopping me xD also not gunna lie I spent an embarrassing amount of time just on the main screen clicking the soccer balls around. Great Job! ദ്ദി(ᵔᗜᵔ)

Thanks a lot!

I adore this game's concept, and the way it controls is so interesting and a really fun play on irl football. I love the presentation and feedback, but I honestly found that the clutter in terms of projectiles flying at you was just too excessive. I didn't feel like I had the tools as a player to deal with all of those projectiles because my dodge was limited and my shots took a while to power up, so I'd just end up getting hit by things that I didn't know were even there. That's not to take away from the quality here though, because this is still a really awesome idea that I enjoyed playing a lot. I just wish it was balanced better to be a more fun player experience, like maybe some of the shit spectators throw in while booing you can be healing items or something I think that'd maybe alleviate the overwhelming clutter.

Really great submission overall though!
