This game's great! I have no idea how you did this CRT effect but it's amazing Also love the sound design, especially for the last puzzle. Gives me pony island + wario ware vibes.
Thanks for playing. Yeah, I really like this idea. Definitely playing around with it in the future. Working on the patch to upload as soon as the jam judging period is over, and I already have a some ideas for additional units and puzzle mechanics. Sadly this very small prototype, already eats up all of pico8's cartridge space. So only way to expand is make a sequel or use a different engine. Maybe it's finally time to learn godot. . .
Yeah, I always use Pico 8 for Jams. Good way to keep things simple and focussed (He say's after feature creeping so hard that his submission is an unfinished janky mess. 😅)
You just made someone who doesn't care about football play a gain all about it and actually have fun.
Only thing I'd say is that the colour contrast of the players to the pitch and the opponents in some of the puzzles could be clearer. E.g. first one I did, players were green and it was a bit uncomfortable.
I'd say stick with Black, white, pink, purple, red and blue.
They are all fairly distinct from one another but also contrast the green pitch nicely.

Sadly didn't have time to add the audio code to the cart before the deadline. Forgot to put that in the known bugs section. Thank you for reminding me :)
Thank you for playing. Yeah, I learned about the jam the day of deadline and just threw this together for a laugh, Dunno how long the review period for the jam is but I'll try and patch it once that's ended :)
You don't suck! This game was made in about 2 hours so the difficulty climbs very quickly. I might come back to this project and fix after the gmtk game jam, which is my priority right now. :)
Thank you for playing. Yeah, I threw it together in an afternoon so the difficulty curve hasn't been tuned all that well lol.
Basically because the notes appear faster as measures are completed, the measures then complete faster which means the notes move faster which means the measures finish faster . . . Etc etc. It's an endless feedback loop of increasing speed causing it to spike exponentially.
Currently focussing on my submission to the GMTK Game Jam so this will be on the back burner for a while but may come back once that's done to tune it up a little bit. (Easiest solution off the top of my head would be to just get rid of the measures um . . .measure entirely.)
Took me a couple goes to understand the anger mechanic but once I did I had fun. I think the game could benefit from a tutorial page on the start menu or tutorial levels. Otherwise it's very interesting game.
Sadly my laptop can't run it but I will definitely play when I get back to my PC. What I'm seeing kinda reminds my of Glyph; a game that I really like despite being awful at it.
Yeah, pico 8 animation and I do not get on well . . .
I just started working on the full game inspired by this prototype and have fixed the animation bugging out by changing how the timing is done and adding a cool down for actions to prevent spamming. Also polished up the animations by correcting minor art errors and adding extra frames of animations. It's gonna take a while but it's looking so good already!
Yeah, I've since learned how to do pico8 animations in a way that prevents the glitching sprite animations. In pico 8, animations are notoriously quirky. Sadly not in time to update for the jam but I really like the concept of this game and want to work on a more fleshed out version when I get the time.
I tried running your game but couldn't get it to load. It's an issue with my hardware not your software. I'll be sure to check it out when I get back to my PC :)
