Football stack beta

I am working on this game and malte thought its finished enough to show it publicly.

It's supposed to become a game similar to football-o-saurus (windowsgames.co.uk), but right now it is only a 1 on 1 match between two dots

You need ArcadeEngine to run this stack!

Download it here

any comments are welcome.

This stack is so much fun B! Maybe you could use some easing after tackling.

All the best,

malte

wow! that's cool.

but i think the black player should become a better player

if he has the ball he always runs against the border

Yeah, it is a fun stack. I also noticed that the black player isn't a very clever guy. When will you replace the dots with little dinosaurs, BvG?

Best,

Mark

Took me a bit to figure out that this was what we call soccer and not football, as in American football!

Well, the author of the football stack, the producer of the Arcade Engine and yours sincerely all come from Europe, where we usually call it football. I consider it a compliment for BvG that his stack is actually recognized as football :-)

Hehe

I did not accidentally call it Football...
In Soccer, you don't tackle anyone, there's no end zone (but a goal), and normally you don't carry the ball.
In American Football, there's less running, and there's a lot of breaks in the Gametime.

The end product should feature some of both worlds...
