Cool game! I liked that the style of the game is similar to a notebook sheet.

Developer

Thanks! :)

Submitted

Nice game, I use to play something similar when I was a kid . 

Developer

Glad you liked it :)

Submitted

Nice game, it was very fun!

The graphics are simple but good, maybe just making the text or explanationg a bit better looking, but everything else is very good. The audio was good, but the winning noise was a bit deafening acutally, but it's just a little detail.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, appreciate it!

Nice little game, the concept is well implemented :)

I think better sound effects & a background music would make the game a bit more alive. The buttons were a bit confusing at the start, a play button instead of restart would be more appropriate.

As of the theme, I’m not sure if it fits well since the game itself isn’t based around an idea of rewind. Although more importantly I can see it’s something that matters to you which is awesome, great work on implementing this concept :)

Fun game! I finally one after a few tries. Could play this for a long time, might even make a good app. Good job!

Developer

I plan to add some extra polish and make it a mobile game in near future, thanks! :)

Submitted

Great Little Game, enjoyed playing this very much and a unique idea/ implementation,

If you would be kind enough to try my game out it is also about going back to child hood.
Cheers

Thanks for your review! Glad you left the comment otherwise there was a chance I would never try your game out (just too many submissions to go through them all) - thanks!

5 starts on theme for not making a "things go back" interpretation xD

1 star on audio for making me deaf

10/10 would play again if i figure out all the rules xD

Developer

Haha sorry for the sounds, it seems to be a consistent feedback across all the players :D
Appreciate your review, thanks!

A super cute idea, I really enjoyed this one, I am not very good though and I couldn't get a single goal aha! Very well put together!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your review! :) A few more games and you will figure out the magic on how to make use of the combos ;)

Submitted

This game was a lot of fun and I can't believe I have never heard of it until now. I thought I was going to lose every time to the computer but then some massive combo would open up and I'd get it close to my goal. Very fun game, I really enjoyed it. A two person mode would be really cool too! Nice job :)

If you have time please check out my game!

Developer

Thanks for your review :) I will definitely work on multiplayer and native mobile version in upcoming weeks. Just played your game - it was soooo fun!

Submitted

Nice game, very relaxing. However, the noises weren't very good

Developer

Appreciate the feedback! :)

I remember playing it a few times in primary school and I remember disliking it because I was never able to win. Now I think I have redeemed myself with my glorious victory over the A.I first try with a max combo of 7

Well done

Developer

Thanks for your review! I'm glad I managed to make you like paper soccer more than at school haha :)
Also - your game was so fun to play, love the vibe in it!

Submitted

The design of your game screen is very satisfying to play on. I had trouble understanding when why some dots would give me combo moves verses others, but I was able to win once and it was very fun!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it! I would surely need a bit of tutorial for these who aren't familiar with the "back in the days" version of the game. Thanks for reviewing my game, really appreciate it!

Submitted

Really interesting interpretation of the theme. It's a fun game overall with simple graphics, but I had to turn down my volume for this one due to the high pitched whistle at the start of each round. Overall, well done!

Developer(+1)

Scarping sound has been added to my TODO ;)
Thanks for your feedback!
Just played your game too - what a gem! Good job!

Submitted

This is really cool. Like the idea of rewinding to your childhood. I would recommend not using high pitch sounds. Other than that, there is no other problem that I can see.

Developer

Thanks for the review and really appreciate your feedback - will make sure not to use such sounds ever again ;)

Submitted

I really liked that concept of a game. Its not just another platformer. I didnt won one match against your AI xD. However pls dont use such high pitch sounds for Death and Start. :D

Developer

Thanks for your feedback :) will make sure not to use such sounds ever again :D
Appreciate your review!

Submitted

I like very this idea of making a game that "teleports" back into your childhood, and i also like the game, and the execution. Good job!

*also, check my game*

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your review :) Just played your game too - good job!

Submitted

I played this for the first time and I LOVE IT!

Developer

Thanks for your review! Glad you liked it :)

Submitted

Interesting! Would love this as a board game

Developer

Thanks for your review! The board game is literally drawing the pitch on a piece of paper and using color pens to draw your moves ;)
