Ballsy! World Cup 2020

Edit after some more matches: it's still top notch. Here is a video for you who are on the fence. I'm playing with total zoom out and on hard difficulty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zD9N6eM9U0&ab_channel=S%C3%A9rgioFl%C3%A1vioMCF The wait is over: I've finally found the soccer game I was looking for -- and in the least likely of places. Do not be fooled by the Sega Master System visuals or the very minimalistic presentation. This game is tough and addictive, because it has an almost perfect AI. Try to play against hard or progamer difficulty and you will understand what I mean. An intense and fair challenge, something the mainstream franchises fail to achieve (if they're even trying) year after year. More than that, the gameplay mechanics are strongly based on physics; inertia makes one-on-one duels really interesting and clever. If you're defending and keep pressing the run button, AI will easily drible you and have the open path to score. If you're attacking, you have to exchange passes to keep the ball possession and cautiously gain terrain until the opportunity to reach the net shows up. That's the essence of football captured by a humble indie game. Amazing. If you're looking for real life graphics and licenses, you know where to find. But if your thing is gameplay, pure and simple, forget FIFA and PES: this is, surprinsingly, the real deal. I hope the devs keep improving the game with new features, or even create an evolved sequel. Fingers crossed.

Ich bin mit Spielen wie Kick off und Micropose Soccer aufgewachsen und kenne auch die alten Oldies. Das Spiel bietet zwar nicht diesen Umfang, aber als kleines Indie Spiel hat es einige eigenständige Gameplay Elemente, die wirklich Spaß machen. Der Soundtrack weiß auch zu gefallen für ein paar gemütliche Spiele im World Cup 2020. :)

Great little footy game, enjoyed it so much so far. If you are fan of Amiga's or C64 football games, retro look will warm your heart. Ballsy! plays smooth and after recent update, without any issues on Linux. I highly recommend this game.

WORDS CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS GAME

A simple, addictive and fun football-like game although it really lacks variety. There are only two playing modes: a friendly match and a world cup play-off stage. A training mode would come in handy. The game would also benefit from a more in-depth world cup mode, e.g. qualification stages, tables, match statistics, extra time with penalty shootouts (or something similar), home/away matches, more teams from each continent. The game has great a soundtrack and runs perfectly on Linux btw.

Of course Ballsy would be a gem! The developer is Baz! Search for Gameplay Football to see for your self what this guy can do all by himself. As for Ballsy: Instant buy from me. Unique soccer based game with many essentials present like momentum and good AI Easy to pick up and play, hard to master. Of course i recommend it. Well done again Baz. Hoping for future updates.

Хорошая игра в стиле футбола, отличный геймплей, топ за свои деньги Жалко что она не популярная.

Many arcade games use the phrase "easy to peak, hard to master" but this one do exactly this. AI is great and very challenging. Great passing game, great inertia on players. Baz you did it again! Thank you for this great game which based mainly on something that really matters. Gameplay. I wish you made an update in the future with clubs and Career mode. When you watch videos on YouTube you can't see what this game is able to offer. Definitely I recommend it!
