Game concept, mechanics and design by Jonathan

Game engine is my own made in the LibGDX framework.
I used claudecode to do the gruntwork making the game mechanics i wanted for this game.

Art, animations, music and sound effects by Jonathan (temporary stuff whilst working on mechanics!)

A few sound effects like cat and car are from free sound banks online

Matchday Neighbours

You're a fan of your local non-league club. Walk the streets to the football clubhouse on matchday. Help neighbours, reform loudmouths, dodge propaganda - for the Smash The Fash jam, in partnership with Clapton Community Football Club.

It's mostly an action scroller, but there's minigame sections to kick a ball around cones and into a goal, road-crossing classic arcade section, and boss fights of course!

Controls:

  • On PC/Browser it's WASD and IJKL for controls (and Spacebar + Escape)
  • The buttons should work when a controller is plugged in too! See ingame controls in the game menu.

What to do:

  • Use 'Help' to assist civilians
  • Throw footballs are ruffians to stop them in their tracks!
  • Use 'Reform' after hitting enemies to make them less extreme! 
  • Pick up litter and use recycling bins
  • Fill in potholes and dodge roadworks
  • Score a goal on the local pitches
  • Rescue cats from trees
  • Defeat strawman arguments, tabloid articles an the big TV boss in duels
  • Shop local
  • And use the underground to go back to earlier parts of the map so you don't miss anything!



Score goals on the pitch when you go past!

 

Powerups (buffs) explained:

You get these when taking litter to the recycling bins, there's a preset powerup for each bin.

Running shoes - you move faster for a bit!

Rugbyman - you can charge into most enemies to reform them instantly

Speakerphone

Speakerphone - you can help all civilians with a radius of you!


Trickshot - you throw 3 footballs instead of 1 (multi-shot)


Stand your ground - when you jump you stomp and stun enemies in a radius around you
