Hey everyone,

I've been making a soccer game similar to Jumpers for Goalposts (old flash game) and New Star Soccer to learn how to code. I've recently uploaded my prototype build on itch:

In terms of feedback, I just wanted people to play the tutorial/start a career mode to see if there's something that stands out. I had been getting some feedback regarding the tutorial so I had to create a new one from scratch so hopefully this is better!

Hi ShonkyKoala,

I played your game and recorded my thoughts

Hey mate, thanks for your feedback! It's the first time I've seen someone play the game on video so that was exciting haha. On your summary:

• Majority of the aspects of the career mode have not yet been coded, so that's why you can see things like salary and chemistry, etc. They're all just placeholders until I get to code it, there won't be any team manager aspects, It's just a game about your own career. The main purpose of putting it online with such an early build is so I could get feedback from people on how it works.
• I'm looking to expand the number of chances in the game, I've got around 30 in there at the moment but obviously if you end up getting 5-6 per game then the chances will get old quickly.
• n the full game you'll also start at the lowest league and work your way up so you won't actually start with good stats and will be required to train, etc.
• I like your idea of pressing a button to move to the next commentary. Honestly I've heard mixed feedback on commentary, some people have said they prefer it not to be there at all so I'm still thinking about whether or not I want it in there.

Also the target is mobile so I'm glad you thought it would work well there! Thanks again for playing!
