A Bad Game Of Football (tuxdb.com)

▶

It's been two months since our last update. During this time, we have died (downsized our team drastically), gone to hell (moved to a new office space), and been reborn (reworked the base gameplay and committed to it)! Having finally landed the fundamentals of the game feels really nice. Before, we were trying to piggy-back off current events, trying to make our game appear super nice, but without a super nice game as a foundation, it felt like cheap tricks to trick people into buying an unfinished game. Halloween updates and and Qatar 2022-themed trainers sounds fun and all, but in the end it felt like we sprinkled candy on top of a cake shaped poop, not a real cake. Sorry for trying to make you eat poop. Regarding the game: Yesterday we tried playing it for the first time in many weeks, and to our relief: It was hysterical!!! The game is now a proper cake :D It was a confidence boost I sorely needed, and it inspired me to break the silence and write this update! We have worked on the game's underlying systems for so long, we had almost lost sight of why we were doing anything. Playing the game reassured us that our ridiculously violent arcade football RTS deserves to exist, and that it contributes with something new and fresh in the realm of gaming. And to all you early accessors out there, expect an update late next week featuring revamped level designs, new ball behaviour, zombies, air-drops and other delicious work-in-progress stuff. Stay tuned for more updates about the development and the soon to be announced date for the full release. Thank you for your patience <3 See you in hell. -Alex

Totally REAL reviews

“They were all blown to pieces. All of them. I now have crippling PTSD... but it was great!” - Former spectator

“No one wants me! They just keep kicking me back and forth! 0/10, I refuse to be a part of this anymore!” - The football

“I was trying to interview one of the players, but he wasn’t... all there.” - Totally REAL reporter

About the Game

Blue team takes the ball! Look at them go! But what is this?! A player of the Red team has found a baseball bat! A classic move, let us see how it plays out!

Football fan or not, having friends or not, this game is for you!

This fun, frustrating and pretty chaotic game is great to play with friends or through matchmaking. Stranger Danger

The Basics:

Each team consists of three football players.
Each stadium is different:
On our old-school grassy pitch, a violent referee awaits to punish all fouls he sees, unlike real life football there is some actual violence worth going to the ground for.
Everyone used to play football in someones backyard when they were young. Relive that experience in our garden stadium, full of annoying bugs, just like you remember it.
Always wanted to experience the highlands? We got you covered, on our Scotland inspired pitch you’ll encounter more sheep than people, just like in real life.
Have an overwhelming amount of friends to play with? Create a league with them all and battle to the last man standing.
No friends at all? Play competitively in the matchmaking ranked mode on any of our premade playing fields, all requiring different tactics for you to carry away the victory.
Leaderboards! Yes we have them. That extra bit of competitiveness for you to flex that you’ve made it into the top 10. Next to an all time leaderboard, you can hope to find your name on weekly leaderboards too.

The Fun:

Whereas in ranked matchmaking the stadiums stay the way we made them, if you play the not so proper freestyle mode you get to choose from a wide range of modifiers to make your game extra spicy. - Want landmines and sheep in the garden stadium? You got it. Three referees obliterating your teams? Sure! Want two full 11 player teams to face off against eachother? Sounds intimate.
Coaches! No team is complete without a coach. To add another layer of competitiveness (and also tacticery), you get to choose your team's trainer. Each has their own special ability for you to use to turn the game around in your favor.
See your friend in a game and want to annoy them? Be a spectator! Join the people on the ranks and mess with your friends game by throwing bottles and fireworks onto the pitch (Old-school Stadium), distract unselected players by steering butterflies (Garden Stadium), anger sheep by poking them until they attack players (Highlands Stadium)

Anyone can play a game of football, but only badasses (nope, but something like that) play A Bad Game Of Football.
So you thought you mastered it…, we have one more card up our sleeves to keep things interesting:

Introducing Pay to Loose

Sick of pay to win? We are too.
Since our football players can handle a tackle, just like in the old days when players kept going despite a broken leg or two, this game comes with the option to acquire content that will make your life more difficult.
Everything from drunk, to injured, or hypochondriac players (if you like it realistic) are possible to acquire and encounter. Each comes with cosmetics for you to show off that you think this game is "too easy".
So if you feel the game isn’t challenging enough, then this is for you. Our very own interpretation of “Hard Mode”.
