Took me a while to figure out what is going on but I find the gameplay and controls simple enough. I think what is really confusing is figuring out what the AI is doing (it sometimes does some funny things like scoring it's own goal and constantly pining one of my guys vertically for no good reason)
I do like the idea of a football twist to the Dicey Dungeons gameplay, and I enjoyed my time with it. Awesome game, a local multiplayer mode would be a good idea.
(also you get bonus points for making axolotls as your characters :D )
