Hey this game is cool! The pitch looks nice and clean and love the art. I also like how friendly mode of difficulty made the game much harder.
Pieces of feedback:
- Maybe being able to change your team or at least your opponent's team to be some team other than Italy would be cool
- I think a tutorial or something that makes the option to change difficulties more obvious could be helpful
- I think creating a starting screen will make the game feel less abrupt to begin with
- Maybe you could step it up eventually by making sprites that have walking animations and running animations and kicking animations so it feels less static
Anyhow I look forward to seeing more games you make!
