Great visuals and gameplay. Took a few tries to get a feel for the controls but still fun

I have current gold. 😎

This was a really well made little game, the controls were really satisfying and the difficulty was perfectly mixed between requiring both skill and luck. If I see someone grabbing my gold trophy, I will be back to defend it! :D

Amazing job!

Very chill and smooth game play, I kind of wish it was just a tad more intense though, like having a diving feature that gives the goalie a speed boost but needs time to recover after, so if you mess up the dive it's a for sure goal but you get a speed boost that can make some clutch saves , and with those clutch saves  the crowd could go nuts! so the gameplay can be a bit more exciting this way but its a 3 day project  and this is a clean submission ^^ great work!

The controls are great and simple.
I like your menu and your art style (very cute) :)

The game is very well polished. Loved the controls & the simple art style. It's a simple concept but the execution is fantastic. Great job!!

Very fun game and (maybe that's just me because I've never played a game like tis) but I think it's pretty original! Good job!

Hey! Incredible game there, willing to play it since I saw it on Twitter. Got 40 saves! The game feel is on tune and engaging. The aesthetics are good, but I am missing pixel-perfect design (the goal and the character has different pixel sizes) and I think that everything has to be outlined. Good job!

i liked it alot! i love how the movement is quite punishing so you cant just spam jump, and love the lil' animations that go with it!

This is actually really fun to play. Everything including controls is polished

Submitted(+1)

Wow! Very well made! Everything is tight and responsive. A good example of keeping the scope down and polishing it! The game just has a good feel to it. The ball behaves well, the hitboxes are well oiled and the speed of the ball, frequency of shots and difficulty curve are all very well tuned it. One of the best I've tried so far!

Very satisfying, and you tuned in the movement just right. 

The controls felt really good.

I liked the art style as well. Were you working by yourself or with a team?

Awesome game :D

Hi, I am working alone :)

For me it was the most important task the "feel" of the player movement

Thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed!

Hello! It is a very fun game and adjusted to the theme, good job. I liked it a lot !!

Submitted(+1)

Really fun! I love the graphics, sound, controls! It was not super obvious at first which balls were on the ground, and I felt it was too easy to block the ones in the air since it seemed to be based on a 2d collider that wasn't adjusted for a simulated 3d space. (Ie, as soon as you jump you block it even if the ball SEEMED like it was gonna still go over your head if you jump what seems to be too late.)

I would recommend ramping the difficulty as time goes on, and maybe add a crowd cheer sound when you block, and maybe a boo when the AI scores.

Overall, really fun well done entry!

First, thanks for the feedback and ideas!

  • About the colliders I am planning to do a fix in future, I did not have time and it was a low priority for me, it also happens when the player is dropping in the ground, he still can catch air balls :)
  • The difficulty slowly ramps up as the time goes on, there is an information about the difficult level in the bottom, It gets harder about the 15 level ~60-70 saves, I just didn't want to be too hard in the beggining

Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback again!

Style really reminds me of the glory days of Newgrounds/Miniclip

really liked this game, good job!

The animations and movement make the game very intuitive to contol, it never feels like the goalkeeper is out of your control. I also really liked the theme aplication
