SAFTS is out for about 3 weeks now and we are thankful for all the feedback we got ;-)
Most folks seem to have lots of fun but we also take it, that making use of the extra bars in emulator on keyboard can be tricky.
We will look into that and continue to work things such as support for four-player-adapters in :) SAFTS works great with two players simultaneously.
We will also add a smoother difficulty setting AND add a even harder (!) CPU player.
To our surprise, after only 20 days, a couple of people followed the essence of sports games and improved so much, that our AI no longer poses the ultimate challenge.
So in the name of the whole PriorArt team, we wish you lots of fun with it and feel free to continue to comment on the gaming experience you had.
Cheers,
Martin, Oliver, Kamil

| Flexman: Sounds nice - I'll give it a try! We should test it thoroughly at our next CTG, I suppose... ;) |

For judging the playability, don't forget to play this with a real joystick.
Foosball games are not easy to be done on a computer. I didn't see any that woked like a charm. However, this is the best so far and still under work. |

| Great project! totally impressed and we should all embrace indie game industry. as i was been told on fb , the game mechanic is better when the computer select the right bar in the right moment and i accept that. the concept , gfx , music and idea is really awesome. kudos to PriorArt for this one! |

Hmh, unlike critics so far, to me it's quite intuitive. I didn't read any manuals and still I can play the game, not very good yet, but that's a matter of practice I guess, pretty good one imho. Cheers 2 Prior Art guys for this whacko idea!
PS: in DirArt dude looks pretty nude xD |

Well, at PriorArt we are already discussing feedback here. Thanks in advance :)
In the beginning it might help to play the game like pong a few times - without using the kick mechanics. It is necessary to stay focused on ball direction and speed and also the movement of the own bar.
Btw the co-next-bar-function is meant for expanding the player range for fast balls for example.
The bars are automatically clipping the moment when the ball is out of reach for the recent passed bar. The problem with Grasstust' suggestion is that it might work for single player, but not for multiplayer. As said, the team is talking about these issues how to improve them and get things more intuitive. At least compo version also means first time user feedback - so critics are highly appreciated.
Strictly speaking the game and its controls are result of an evolutionary process. Who knows other table soccer games (esp on C64) might agree that it is not exactly a fitting genre for digital controls. They usually rely on compromises in things like speed or reduced gameplay mechanics how collision works for example. After the last revise in case of controls I became more and more successful (easy mode only btw), including more frequent multi-minute-sessions to receive a goal. Btw before that moment I was totally lost - never knew that I am incredibly bad at multitasking. Sidenote: About the same time when Enthusi and Jammer mentioned similar impressions. So training pays off - even though thx to your comments it is clear that work is waiting for us... |

| Pivotal bar is activated by default when ball approaches it. To that, you can always select additional bar ahead if you turn joy to opponent, or goal keeper if you turn joy to him. |

| 10/10 for technical aspect, 0/10 for me as playability, maybe i'm too dumb to control it. |

| It's a real nice game. However, I think it's a little confusing which column of players you control and when the control changes to another column. The indicators on the top and bottom aren't really (fast) enough to show me the current column, and I wonder if it would be better if you made the column blink when it gets active. And even if I understand the limits of the C64, I think it's too bad that you don't really show the ball enter the goals. |
