I love the idea and also how you carried it out. It is fun to watch the actual game. Good artwork at that. I had difficulties with the booing, dodn't know exactly why. But it was a glorious victory for my team.

Unique idea and big props to using SVG. My favorite part was the in game explanation of how to use shift. 🏳✈

Cactus CareInteresting concept ! Simulating a football match is impressive. However, it could be great to have more visual impact in order to know how the public is impacting the players.

Bug's DriftInteresting idea! wasn't that clear how much what the fans are doing impacts the game though.

Road DefenseVery fun, It would be even better if the effect the controls have on the game were made more clear

SCP 173 SimulatorI rated 93 games so far and this is definitely one of the most original games. Congratz.

And Roll For AdventureI don't think I've ever seen a soccer game this exciting! Great concept and execution. (My team did win 7-5 -- no doubt because of the fans -- so maybe biased opinion.)

ParkPicnicThis is glorious - what a brilliant and original idea! Of course, there are issues here (more predictable player pathfinding would help) but it's a great start for a jam game! Loved it!

Non-Player Player CharacterReally cool entry! Very impressive that the football is actually simulated - I assumed everything was hardcoded until I read the description. I think Blue would get top 4 in Serie A. Great idea! :)

Self ServiceAmazing concept, love me some sports games.
Really enjoyed this one, simple yet engaging.
Add some sort of display to the zones or the actual players that are getting buffed/debuffed i think would have help with some decision making. Sometimes im not 100% sure if I'm making an impact or not.
Flesh this out a bit and add some rougelite treasure in-between each match and I could play it for hours!
Great Job!

Battle Royale CleanupThis is clever, and a solid entry. The theme comes together and it reminds me of going to stadiums and feeling the crowd.
Frankly, building an entire football sim on a "no u" gamejam is very impressive. Good work :)

Nursery ManiaI found this quite fun actually! Not seen this concept done before and this is very impressive in the short timeframe. Only improvement would be if there was a replay button after a game to quickly start a new match. Good job!
