A fast-paced action game reminiscent of athletic competition.

What players say

Players describe it as a Hotline Miami-style action game where limited tackles per level force tactical planning. The story about a former football pro rescuing his daughter gets praise, and the synthwave soundtrack is frequently mentioned. Some players find the difficulty mildly infuriating, and one notes a potential softlock if coins are missed.
