A simulation of Fusball / Foosball (“table soccer”) on the computer, but with more variation/freedom to make it better and more fun. (For a digital game, at least.)
All players are stuck in their lanes. You must try to play a game of soccer from that.
What are their “lanes”?
- Only vertical movement
- Only horizontal movement
- On a fixed (randomly generated or handdrawn) path
- A radius around a point
- A fixed distance/interval from another point
- Connected to other players, can’t get too far away, or can’t get too close.
IDEA: A way to change your lanes. Or switch with another character. Or maybe it changes anyway after each goal.
ALTERNATIVE IDEA: More specific clone of Fusball. You only have players attached to some staves. You can press a button to rotate at a given time, your joystick to move up/down. Multiple players can be attached to the same stave. Play!
Input
Movement
But, because you have a lane, it will depend on that what really happens:
- Paths? LEFT + RIGHT to move along it => what do the other keys do?
- Restricted Radius/Area? Normal movement
Maybe there’s a button to snap to the other side of your path? Or some way to actually use this instead of just feeling like an annoying restriction.
Objective
Score more points than the other team(s)
