Bugfixes

• Muting all audio now persists.
• Fixed header not moving character up to make contact
• Fixed bicycle kick being flipped at the end of animation
• Fixed z order on back horizontal post

XP Soccer is a love letter to the classic soccer games from the NES era!

We wanted to use pixel-art in a way that is faithful to the 90's console limitations, only breaking those rules sparsely to enhance the player's experience and customization.

Simple and tight controls will give you a variety of moves with a combination of the classic A and B buttons!

56 National Teams:

Play Modes:

■ Exhibition Match (P1 vs CPU) (P1 vs P2)

■ World Tournament (P1 vs PC)

Features:

■ 56 National Teams

■ 4 Grass Patterns
■ Formations and Substitutions
■ Curve Shots
■ Fouls, Free Kicks and Penalties
■ Simple controls
■ Language Menu (English and Spanish)
