Woah, this is an awesome game!

Well done!

Developer

Thanks Deynum! :)

This was a fun game. For some reason when I saw the cover art I didn't realize there was a soccar (football) ball there so I was little confused at first but that's just me forgetting for a second that football is the original and correct name. Other than that mix-up on my part it was a very fun game with an interesting core mechanic.

Developer

Thank you! Yeah, I knew that there would be some misunderstanding when I named the game that, but as most of the world (including myself) say football I figured it was best to use that name. I do know that many countries like USA, Canada and Australia say soccer/soccar, but it looks weird to put a ”(soccer)” in the middle of the title. Anyways, I’m glad you liked it!

really nice!!

This game is amazing! This is by far one of my favorites from the jam. The art style is great, the controls and mechanics are really smooth, and the levels are just hard enough to take some time but not to much so you get frustrated. Overall great game and keep up the amazing work!

Developer

Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Great game! 

Developer

Thanks!

I'll be honest, I didn't expect something this good from a game jam. The controls were easy and responsive. I absolutely adore the art. Great job!

Developer

Thank you!

I couldn't quite finish it, but very smooth and responsive controls as well as great art (Any art tips? my submission "Distant Home" is only squares and triangles with different colours).

Developer

Thank you! I am very far from being a professional artist, but I am very happy you liked it. It took a lot of time to make. As I said, I'm not a professional artist, so I can't really give any good advice. I just figured it out as I got along, mostly, and I have some experience I guess. I did use a color palette so that the colors would look good together, which is important.  

But anyways, thank you for playing my game!  I have also played and rated your submission.

Interesting, many people I have asked have said just do it and that it will get better over time. Thank You for your time and advice!

The controls are wonderful and I LOVED the way you introduced the double jumping off of the ball mid-air. really interesting movement there. I got stumped on level 12. couldn't manage to beat it even after putting in 25 minutes to that level alone. overall real fun tho!

Developer

Thank you! To put 25 min on one level requires a lot of dedication. The last level is very much beatable, and leads to a small little ending as well. That level isn’t particularly  hard from a puzzle standpoint, but it requires knowledge of how to use the different moves the player character has at his disposal. Once one figures it out it shouldn’t be particularly hard to do the rest, but the level used mechanics in a new way.

Submitted(+1)

I'll have to come back again and try and beat it after I go through the other entries. I'd really like to see the ending!

Developer

That is really, nice of you, but to play something that took so long, just for that tiny ending probably isn't worth it. I did describe it as "little", and the only real reason to why you would want to beat the game is to, you know, have beaten the game. Anyways, I am happy that you liked the game :D

Developer

Ehm, I just realized that the 12th level is unbeatable in the current state due to platforms moving faster than they were supposed to. On a very slow computer it might be possible, but not with any modern computer sadly. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, I might fix it in a little after jam patch

Submitted

If you're referring to the one on the right hand side, it's possible to jump on top of it while it's moving upward. It's very difficult and I had to use the slow motion to do it, but it's definitely possible with some perseverance (that's why I spent so long on it lol). The problem that I had was I wasn't sure where to get the ball after I got it out of the initial area. there wasn't a clear exit like the other levels

Developer

Wow! It is really cool that you managed to do all that! The exit is the ladder in the roof, behind it are the same blocks as in the other levels exits. You just have to shoot the ball up the ladder and then climb it yourself

Submitted

AHHH!!! I BEAT IT!!!!

the ending is cute :) Im glad he escaped

Developer

This is insane. You have mastered the game’s mechanics! :D

I really appreciate that you recorded it, it is cool to watch. That jump is crazy. You also used the hidden mechanic of kicking and jumping at the same time and you also shortened down the puzzle to only have to do the platform twice. Insane! Never thought anybody would put that much time into this game! Thank you :D

This was a blast to play! Thank you for making it!!

Really Fun Game! I enjoyed the cute cut scene at the beginning. Really smooth controls too  

Developer

Thanks! I worked a lot on the controls :D

Submitted(+1)

Fun game! By the way, pressing R to restart works for me (Firefox, Windows 10)

Developer

Thank you for playing! Weird that it worked for you, I tried on both chrome and edge, so it’s either firefox that made it work or my computer that is weird. 

Submitted

yeah, not sure, I ran it on chrome, and the R button worked perfectly for me as well.

Impressive amount of stuff done for the amount of time! awesome job! really fun!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Very humorous! I had some trouble figuring out the kick mechanics and got stuck on one of the levels. Could use some music or something too.

Developer

Thank you for playing! I just didn't have time to find any good music/make any, that's why. Also, I thought that I explained the kick well enough in the tutorial, but I guess not. Guess I gotta focus even harder on tutorials.

Submitted

Don't sweat it too much. It's also very possible I'm just bad at the game haha!
