: Up/Down for menus | Call a Team mate (hold or it will forget you)
+: Action/ Select

Tools used:
Framework: Phaser (javascript)
Art: A combination of Photoshop and a cool sprite taken from spritedatabase.net
Music and Sounds: None this time, lack of time :(

Really fun! I'm blocked at the 6th or 7th match but overall pretty good :)

Okey, cool little game.. but it was still relatively easy, I mean I could use one person to run through the field almost without touching the keyboard... then I lost the ball once and it said you lose(?) football match shouldn't work like that.. :D but on the other hand, this looks so big project that I would not have finished those features either.! :) cheers.

very nice entry. I can't help but think it could be a lot more fun without the 2 buttons restriction :)

took me a couple of tries to get the hang of but good use of 2 buttons. A bit more ability to speed up dialog would have been nice.

Good game, the graphic style is nice and consistent, and the visual aids make the two button controls enjoyable. The intro was a little long and it would be nice to be able to speed up dialogue, though.

This is one of those games that I'd really love to see a post-compo version of. You obviously had many great ideas, too bad the allotted time wasn't enough to fully realize them. And don't get me wrong, I still liked it. :)

I like the humor! Also like the concept of a soccer game played only with two buttons. I think this game could be better explored if you have more time (mobile maybe?).

Interesting concept, though I think that the power bar takes way too long too charge. I'd like to see a post-jam version of it!

The game was a bit difficulty, and it took way too long to get into the action, but I liked the overall concept. I think the execution could have been a bit more polished, but it's far better than what I could have done.

It took me a while to learn the controls but the idea is pretty interesting. The difficulty of the levels should be more gradual. Good job!

I really like the idea and it's a very creative use of both themes.
I have to agree with other players that it's very easy to just use one player and run to the goal. Also I wanted to use more then one player but couldn't really get that to work. Also my 'Z' key is not next to the 'X' key so that was a little confusing

That was pretty cool! I loved the backstory though the intro seemed a tiny bit long! Some music would have helped! The soccer mechanic work great with 2 buttons once figured out :)

I like the soccer mechanic, and the player stats... I could really see the difference the speed stat made on the field... It took a few matches before I had to do anything more than run to the goal, then it got challenging...
Good work..!

It's nice to see other Phaser games. I also tried your previous game. Good work ! Thanks for your comment.

Interesting concept! I'd like to see what this could have turned into with more time...

An interesting game, but it takes quite a bit of getting used to. Especially the rules.

Nice graphics, and cool idea for controlling the players and shooting direction!

Awesome concept! Could use some more control over team members placement. An instant-restart-match button could also be nice, so the player don't have to wait through the game over screen when it's obvious that match is already lost. Game is also incredibly difficult! I did my best, but this stage seems unbeatable:

Nice game, and fit themes very well. I miss a soundtrack but you did a great work.

P.S: Happy to see Phaser development.

This game really suffers from the two button controls-- you really want more motion than you have here. On the other hand, it's very funny, and I appreciated the random name generation. (I played football with Charles Bukowski! He's better at sports than he is at writing, unsurprisingly.)
