Supernatural Soccer: Mini
Influence soccer matches with your supernatural powers!
Game-play
- All soccer players for both teams are controlled by the A.I.
- Game-play occurs on a single screen soccer field.
- You interact with the game by moving your cursor icon across the field of play and pressing buttons.
- Hitting select changes your selected ability.
- You as the player have abilities (listed in the Abilities section) to change the course of the match.
- All abilities have a recharge timer. This timer is longer the more powerful the ability.
- Interactive non-game-play elements surrounding the field of play:
- Clicking fans in the stands will cause them to stand. Thus players can create a "wave" scenario.
- Clicking stadium lights will turn them on and off.
- As a soccer player nears the opposing teams goal, the crowd's cheering grows in volume.
- Each side has the following AI-controlled soccer players:
- 1 x Goalie
- 2 x Defenders
- 2 x Wingers
- 1 x Striker (maybe not if we have too many actors on the field)
