HackerBall by Switchbreak

[raw]
made by Switchbreak for LD28 (COMPO)
You have five agents, and one virus. Use the agents to block security and run the virus into the endzone.

If the agent carrying the virus is hit twice, the virus is dropped and it's game over.

Controls:
- WASD to control the agent with the virus
- Number keys to pass it to a different agent
- Mouse to draw blocking routes
- X to run routes

This game certainly requires quick thinking to set up routes before the blue enemies start moving.

Good mechanic, I like being able to draw my player's routes, instead of just picking preset ones like in standard football games (ie. Madden)

If you pass the virus right after you hit, it doesn't take away a life and you can just continue right into the goal.

Really cool and fast-paced mechanic. Expanding this with more types of attackers and defenders could make this a great game. Good job!

cool mechanics, need some quick thinking, especially since it's hard to tell how your setup is going to work out for you

Good game. Innovative and intuitive. Difficult, but rewarding when a level is complete. I just wish there was some way to skip levels you have already completed.

Really great entry. :) Seemed to ramp up in difficulty quickly, but was fun.

This was pretty cool. I wish it was a little bit more challenging though. I died once on the first level, but then I realized that I only really needed to use one blocker and run along the edge of the screen. That worked for every level, which was somewhat disappointing, because the mechanic is cool. Good job!

You need to think routines quickly, it's hard the first time... but anyway interesting mechanics! Congrats! :)

Very fun little game!
The difficulty curve is a little weird tho.
Some levels are too hard, some too easy, in no specific order (apparently).
Also, the lack of audio is kinda annoying.
Overall 4/5.

I like the mechanic. I might have liked it if you could plan your routes in timed phases - real time is kinda tricky, too much to do at once, but maybe that's part of the charm. I got to pass once and it was awesome, I did a victory dance.

This is a wonderful game, really - in a quite unexpected way! Imagine a game like this w/ better graphics and touch controls. Good job!

interesting strategy game. Would be neat take on football, with the draw route mechanic. Dont think i’m seen that before. Nice entry.
