    • “The beauty is in its simplicity: retro graphics (think SWOS, which in itself is a compliment), straightforward and responsive controls, and addictive challenges.”
    • “Amazing retro graphics and really good gameplay.”
    • “Great old school graphics and fun challenging gameplay; one of my favorite games. Looking forward to the new game coming out as well!”
    • “Again your graphics are terrible, do something about it.”

  • gameplay
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the retro graphics and addictive mechanics, while others criticize its simplicity and lack of depth, particularly in defensive controls and character switching. Many users appreciate the easy-to-learn controls but express a desire for more engaging gameplay elements, such as replays and character management. Overall, while the game offers fun moments, it can become repetitive and lacks the complexity found in other titles.

    • “Great old school graphics and fun challenging gameplay; one of my favorite games. Looking forward to the new game coming out as well, but have one suggestion.”
    • “The controls are easy to learn, loads of little hacks, the pixelation is cool, and the gameplay is great.”
    • “It's a really fun game with great controls and very retro gameplay.”
    • “Only the shooting portion is decent, but the gameplay is way too simplified, and you'll have 1 try when the enemy has 6.”
    • “The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because of gameplay when you are defending. One problem is that you can't tell which person you are. Second, you can't switch characters unlike other football games. Third, you can only do one thing while defending, which is slide, and that is very lacking for gameplay. Fourth, I want to control the goalie when defending.”
    • “I enjoyed the artistic style and gameplay, but it gets repetitive pretty soon.”
  • monetization

    • “No ads at all; it's the game for the best of the best.”
    • “No ads at all and good gameplay.”
    • “I accepted the monetization approach: you can pay for great teams or to remove ads; otherwise, you are stuck with bad teams and ads.”
    • “It's funny because the ads work perfectly but not the actual app, what a scam.”
    • “Too many ads.”
    • “Not able to start, because I am not able to select a manager, because it says ads can't be shown.”
