Brilliant. I especially love that I could kick the ball through the net sideways. I'm already cheating, so what's one more little exploit? :D

I had an unhealthy amount of fun spamming the interfere button (on everyone :>) while trying to score a goal by myself. Funny and fun to play!

Mouse n' Key!Nice job! Happy to see other soccer themed entries lol. Only comment I'd have other than the text bug you already mentioned is that I was able to get the goalie stuck in the "interfere" state and just push him off the field leaving the goal open. Otherwise everything seemed to work as intended. Nice art and sounds too!

Goalpost StrikersNice job with this one! I love the artstyle and music. The game itself was a lot of fun too. However I did feel like as the ref, I should be helping them win by like giving out red cards to people who don't deserve them instead of just being another player on blue team, but still a fun little game!

Chaotic ChessLove the take on the theme! The art and music is also really good - fits the game well. And I love that there's more than just one way to influence the game, really gives it some depth. Nicely done!

The Night WatchLove the presentation, the animations look good, the music as well, my team also thought about doing a ref simulator of some sorts haha, but ended up scrapping the idea

Golfberg MachineGreat idea! I really like the game, the art is very nice and the sounds are great. I could barely read the text though, it looks fine in your screenshots but in the game its all blurred! The referee shouldn't be able to constantly use his abilities, it could be cool if has a cool down or a suspicious bar that goes up. Other than that it's a fun game, well done!
Could you rate my game? I would really appreciate it, thanks!

Wired WondersLove the art design and aesthetics, and having the reset function be diegetic feels really great.

Insecticide: Bugs vs AliensI love everything about this game, it's so much fun to just cause chaos in the middle of the match with zero consequences to your character. The aesthetics are fantastic, the animations are really nice and snappy and the programming is really impressive. The music is perfect for the game and the sounds fit perfectly. Also fits very well within the theme of the jam. Very enjoyable experience!

The Last Stand of the Lich KingEchoing that the font was hard to read. Like the concept though, and really love the art style!

Dungeon MasterI enjoyed a lot, very good game! The text was hard to read and the skills are not that useful, but very good game for a 48 hours jam!
