Your unconventional weapon is your football. You can use it to attack your

annoying neighbours, and even (not so) innocent birds. Beware - they fight

back with their own unconventional things. If you're hit, you'll be stunned

for a brief moment.

Use the left and right arrow keys (or A and D keys) to move around, and kick

the ball with the left mouse button. Use the mouse pointer to aim your shots.

Graphics were mostly hand-drawn on Infinte Design - as you can see, my drawing

skills and at the level of a 5-year-old (with lousy drawing skills). At least

I tried.

Music was done with Fake Music Generator (amazing piece of software), and sounds

were either recorded with my phone or generated in jfxr.

Enjoy! Or at least give it a try longer than 15 seconds :-P

hehe. kicking football to the face!.. spot on. :D with some UI work it would have made a big difference to this game. :)

That was really fun to play! I like the bounce physics on the ball. The sound effect really made it feel like a real soccer ball. Well done!

Great little fun game. I can imagine it being on one of those old handheld devices (like Nu Pogodi was) with fixed angles. The difficulty progress was great. Sometimes I missed that I can't jump though.

Can I kick it? Yes I can! This was a lot of fun. Love the old school feel and the music sits well with the action. The kicking mechanic is simple but really satisfying and once I worked out how to head the ball I became pretty skilled at it. Nice work!

It was a very basic game, but I legitimately had fun. :D
I thought the falling blue things were some kind of powerup, so I found out the hard way it was a bad thing. :p

Ooh, footballs to the face hurt :( Great idea and interpretation, think the audio and graphics could have used a bit more but that just comes down to time. Good effort, the mechanic works! :)

Minimalist but fun to play :) Reminds me the Game and Watch games. Good concept and nice realization.

Really fun! Love the music too especially when I died and listened to the piano section for a bit. Good stuff. Loved when the birds started coming down and getting combos. Nice work!!!

Really fun game! The use of the graphics was really good. Your theme was good and music was great too!

Hahaha! Hitting stuff with the football was surprisingly satisfying and a little addictive.

Very fun game! I honestly did not expect it to control well, but it really did. The soccer ball went where I wanted to, but with enough of an arc that you had to think around it.

The baddies were annoying, once the birds and policemen started appearing. If you keep working on this, I DEMAND that you add a jump button. Just enough to get out of being cornered by a policeman when you don't have the soccer ball.

Also, being stunned while hit was really frustrating. The main difference between your game and others is that you can get hit when you're stunned! Mercy invincibility would've gone a long way in the anti-frustration factor.

Ha, fun game. Smooth controls. Cool!!!

So funny to use the ball as a weapon, heh!
My only concern is to remain stunned when I'm ambushed by a lot of enemies. There should be some invincibility time so I can get the heck out of the way.

a lot of fun even. the theme was fun and the fact that the birds are enemies also left even more fun. Congratulations
