Hi!
I'm developing Sideline Shenanigans, a small browser-based football management game where you're trying to manage a semi-questionable football club while the players occasionally have their own interpretation of tactics.
The game is currently in Alpha 0.07, with 0.08 now focusing heavily on Game simulation, feedback, tactics, training, finances and making the existing systems feel more connected.
You can play it directly in your browser here:

No download required.
I'm currently looking for a few people who are willing to play for a little while and tell me where things start to fall apart.
I'm especially interested in:
- Was it clear what you were supposed to do?
- Which screen or system was the most confusing?
- Did the football matches look believable enough?
- Did training, tactics and player development make sense?
- Was there anything that felt pointless or unnecessarily complicated?
- Did you encounter bugs or strange AI behaviour?
- Most importantly: would you keep playing another season? If not, where did you get bored?
You absolutely do not need to play a full season.
In fact, this would probably be the most useful test:
Play until you get bored, confused or annoyed — then tell me what caused it.
The project is still very much an alpha and far from perfect, so critical feedback is more useful to me than being polite.
Screenshots, bug reports, weird match situations and accusations of tactical incompetence are all welcome.
Thanks to anyone willing to give it a try!
