RBK-Kick - Another football game

Hi guys!
We just finished the second game for Rosenborg Ballklub, a local soccer team. This time the main objective is to kick the ball as far as possible by pressing the space-button. The higher the ball cleaner the hit, the longer you will shoot the ball.

Try it out here by clicking “start spillet” – http://dev.rbk-dns.net/rbk-kick/

Great game. Great look and appearance.

Positive:
I really like the way you did the spectators. 2d “cutouts”, but layered gives it a very good look and feel, rather than just a flat image.

I was also pleased that the spectators’ cheering increased in volume relative to the power of my kick. This gives me an instant feeling of success, knowing the kick was good, before I even see how far it actually went.

Negative:
I really wanted to kick the ball. Just kick it over and over and over.

I found it frustrating that I couldn’t. After every kick, I have to click two buttons to try again. Why not just keep track of the current “best distance” and allow the player to submit it when they’re ready, instead of asking them after each kick?

Also, The first couple of kicks did very well, because they were allowed to roll and get a bit of extra distance. After five or six kicks though, there are too many balls in the way and it causes my latest kick to end early (especially if it happens to hit/bounce off another ball). Maybe have a way to “clear” the field without having to edit to the menu.

I second everything that Tempest said. Really fun, my best is 104.13, which puts me on the daily top scores. :smile:

But I’m still playing.

Oh, and to reset without clicking or anything, press R.
