Inspired by the upcoming World Cup in 2018, play as the world's greatest players in a 1on1 football face-off. Choose to play single-player, against an AI controlled opponent, or challenge your friends to a local 2 player match-up.

*THEME:* The two "incompatible" genres used were football/sports and 2D platforming.

*DISCLAIMER:* I did not make the audio.

*CONTROLS:*
Use *A* & *D* (Player 1), or *LEFT* *ARROW* & *RIGHT* *ARROW* (Player 2) to move left & right, and *W* (Player 1) or *UP* *ARROW* (Player 2) to jump. Run towards the ball to knock it forward towards the opposition's goal. Jumping on your opponent will freeze them for a short period of time, and they will not be able to touch the ball during this period.

*You must have java installed in order to play.*

game was to glichy to play... had 2-3 copies of my player on the screen at random locations, all flashing. camera went haywire a few times.

A very fun game to play and the idea can be purposed into a fun sports game with a bigger time period. A 1 on 1 football game could be lots of fun.

@Yippiez Do you have java installed?

Jaychitectsauthor23 Apr 2018, 19:02

@aarre-entertainment Thanks!

Yippiez23 Apr 2018, 19:39

Pretty fun, has potential to be even funnier with a bit of polish.

I found the camera the be quite frustrating. Maybe zoom out a bit and make it smoother?

The characters and animations are fantastic. Absolutely hilarious!

I hope to see even more players in the future 'cause i see potential for a very fun game :)

@drikdrok Thanks for the feedback! I definitely agree that the camera needs work, and I do plan on expanding the game with more characters and modes.

Nice Game, I like it ( Except for the camera ).

Platforming and football is a cool concept, I look forward to see where you're taking it in the full release. The best feature is the players jumping on each other's heads, they should add that to the real 2018 world cup.

Platforming football game is a great idea, but it's hampered by the terrible camera. I can't see what I'm doing. Also, you need to instruct the player as to how to play.

Gregor24 Apr 2018, 18:27

Good idea, as other comments have said the camera needs work and there is a bug where multiple characters appear. Well done though!

Congrats on completing and uploading your game! What did the spacebar do? Everytime I pressed it the ball would fly in the air, almost looked like the game was resetting.

Jaychitectsauthor25 Apr 2018, 00:08

@KunoNoOni Thanks, and yeah - the space-bar was used to reset the game when I was testing it, and I forgot to remove it from the game before uploading.

I laughed a lot playing it! hahahaha this kind of games are the best and you guys are the number one! PD: Maybe the camera doesn't make the vision much easier, but I don't care because I enjoyed a lot :DD
