Rock-paper-scissors was an interesting choice for the main mechanic of this game. I'm curious how the enemy AI worked, since there's not a lot of "strategy" either player can use, but it seems to notice and counter when I repeat one option many times. Eventually I just replayed and picked randomly until I won. The UI was quite nice and I liked the updates on the game.

The simulation aspect of the football team is very nice and the characters have solid designs. I would personally make it so that every rock paper scissors throw advances the time by like 2 or 3 minutes instead of just 1. Also a feature that I would really enjoy is some banter between the characters at halftime depending on who is currently leading and also maybe the losing player getting an extra sacrifice at halftime.
Who would have thought that witches can be football coaches. Really weird idea never seen it before, you just mashed 3 random things and the theme together to make this and it just works. I'm not a big fan of the rock, paper, scissors especially in this game it feels like there is to much rng in the gameplay. Despite that I really enjoyed it and would love to see a sequel with a different twist. Good job, keep it up!

Witch's PuzzlesVery funny premise for a game, with some really cute art, too! Playing football using rock-paper-scissors is an interesting twist, and the "GOAL" yell made me laugh!

Pls Remember MeI was very fascinated with the updates on the actual football game - I didn't expect that. A big downside is the UI though. Other than that you did well.

Bunny Bloody CostVery original game. The idea was well executed, although it took me some time to understand the gameplay (maybe that's on me). Some of the sound effects were cut off at the end. The character design looks great. Good job!

Party at Death's PlaceI really didn't see that coming! It was really original and fun to play! How did you even come up with this idea ?
The game overall just felt smooth, the UI simply feels great, really nice entry!

Sacrifice dudeThank you very much for playing the game. I heard about history of St.Mary's Stadium of Southampton FC being cursed that their team cannot win their first few game at the home ground at all to the point of hiring a pagan witch to lift the curse, which they managed to win in their next match after the purification process. I was quite inspired by theme "Sacrifice" that I use the idea to make this game. Anyway, that's for playing the game!
Fun game! I enjoyed the premise of using rock-paper-scissors to play a game like soccer. The idea of using a sacrifice for a guaranteed victory was nice too.
The only issue I encountered was that I could just keep clicking one of the options seemingly without a penalty. If you find a way to prevent players from doing that through some sort of other mechanic, that could add a little spice to the game.
Overall, great entry!

Journey to Hell [Project 2021 - 10]This is one of the most original games I've played! The concept is fantastic, mixing paper, rocks and scissors with football, and it's really fun! The art is also amazing, I loved the character designs! My only complaint would be that some sound effects feel a bit out of place. But overall, an amazing work!
I like the story, and the way you have made use of the theme is pretty good

Dungeon DashNice twist on the theme. I feel like there was a bit too much text in the beginning.
