I think that if the character rolled during the movement it would be very funny :D At one point the enemies are getting too much!

Wow those enemies ramped up quite quickly. Would have loved to see more of the 'sport' theme in here mechanically.

What did you enjoy doing most when making this?

Interesting game. It's too difficult as vision is limited so enemy will appear all of a sudden

Enemies ramped up so quickly! And I was shocked when the game sayed "Wave 2" I thought I was on the 12th or so!

At first it was very easy. I was like: okay, crimsonland on the weekend! But then I got a machinegun and some things got really intense :) the screen in shaking, the enemies are coming much faster, the hp bar is dropping faster that medkits appears. And I'm not a newbie in this type of games. Niiice! Damn, I'm intrigued about what's going to happen on the wave 90 :) GJ!

I like the animations and the general style to the game! Along with that the sounds were well done as well.
I did run into this bug where the gun was over the wave text. I would also lower the screen shake a little, I love screen shake but if it's a lot for an extended period of time it starts to get nauseating. Once again nice job!

I'm not sure how this plays into the theme (then again, it was a pretty terrible theme) but the game is nicely coded and I know exactly what to do based on the elements presented.

Good job!

Very polished game. Enemies ramped up so quickly. It would be interesting if you fight against soccer player instead this zombie ball. But it's a nice and fun game.

Really nice game, but it is a bit too difficult. Even the first two waves are hard.

Great game! The graphics are simple but elegant, as is the gameplay. It would be nice if you zoomed the camera out a bit, though. Still, fantastic job!

Very clear goal, it was actually quite hard (I had like 20 enemies following me at some point). Somehow I still managed to survive to the second wave... :clap: The gun looked a bit weird, was it pixelated at runtime?

Nice job, but in the description: Don't you move down with S and move right with D? :D

Pretty nice game you have there! I like the visual style. As many others say, the enemy spawner gets crazy too quickly, maybe you should tweak it a little bit!

Congrats!

This plays really well, but I think it's more sports-themed than a sports game. The top-down shooter mechanics are on point though. Great Work

I kept trying to find a goal I could put myself into. This is really fun, but it felt like something was missing. I hope you continue to develop this!

Decent entry! I think it could benefit from a more zoomed out camera and some polish, but a cool idea!

This is a well made game. It's fun to play but I kept dying because I was running into enemies. I think the game would benefit if the camera was farther away. I love the animation on the soccer ball. It gave him personality. Good job.
I would appreciate if you tried my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/vrnt

Neat game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 41 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrZuBymYcB4

Fun and satisfying, I think it would be better if it was zoomed out a bit though.
