Footsypool by Antti Haavikko

Footsypool, like the name might suggest is a very much non-realistic arcade style football (or soccer) game that also takes some slight inspiration from billiards too. You need to keep shooting goals on an increasingly crowded field making crazy pool-style trickshots bouncing off everywhere to score big. But you gotta be careful, you can't let your opponent touch the ball at all. You're only allowed a single spare mistake and the big scores will not be gained without taking risks.

Anyway, it was fun to play. In general, it's hard to even imagine that a game like this could be made in such a short amount of time. Add a few variations, some meta-progression, and the game would be ready for mobile â I can see people playing stuff like this. All in all, good work!

Super fun game! It's very addicting to see the combo number go up and up and up. There is a bit of a learning curve, but the quick gameplay loop really makes you want to jump back in and try again. Very well-designed and polished! Music and art is top-notch as well, I especially love the cute players and their little customizations. Great game, very well done!
edit: Took a peek at what's going on there in the backend and it shows locale blank for that score. And in that case I guess it used the first flag on the sprite sheet, ie. Andorra. Maybe the next time I use this system on a game, I'll add some "unknown flag" sprite for if the locale can't be resolved.
work!
