Interesting game. Once you get the hang of it, you can have some decent fun with this game. Also, why is the player insanely buff?

I just threw the ball offscreen and focused on jumping hahaha.

That "Soccer" player is pretty strong huh? And there are spikes shooting at him without explanation. I don't question it. 

This is unlike any other game I played during this jam. Good creating a playable and replay able game.

I guess it didn't quite work out the way you intended, but don't worry. Every beginning is difficult and we've all been through it. Your idea is good, the soccer player sprite is also OK. Continue like this and with time and experience the results will be much better. It is important that you have fun making games.

I just held the ball atop my head with the mouse and it made no difference to the score. I wish it did. Anyway, nice effort for coming up with an idea fitting for the theme!

If only balancing a soccer ball on your head was this easy in real life.... 

Anyways, nice job on your first game jam submission and your first game you've made on itch.io. If you are planning on updating this game, I would suggest that you reduce the sfx's volume and put instructions on how to play the game in the description or in the game.

Since can't score points by hitting the balls, it seems like you can just avoid the spikes.

The sound effect always sounds when the game is over. Adding a trigger once as a condition should be enough.

The audio was annoying but thee game was overall fine ! also check out my game 😉

The counter sound was kind of loud and annoying, once i figured out your game it was really fun. You could use controls in the intro or description, or even a tutorial to explain the bullets? A highscore board would be an easy upgrade ;)

Uh...Instructions unclear. The audio is way too loud.

Left and Right arrows are mislabeled in the main menu.

I really like the concept and character sprite.

I'll give a better rating if you fix those things and tag or message me to play again.
