Pelotazo

Ever since he was stitched in the factory, Pelotazo was kicked around on a football pitch. Why would humans do such a thing to a poor, innocent football? One day, he got so angry that he grew legs. Now, he gets his revenge.

This game was made in 72 hours for ScoreJam #37.

Pelotazo is a challenging fighting game with progressively increasing difficulty, designed to be played until mastery is achieved.

Gain upgrades and abilities as you progress, then use them to kick enemies off the pitch.

Controls Option 1:

• A and D to move
• W or SPACE to jump, hold to jump higher
• Left mouse button to attack (hold for heavy attack)
• When you unlock them, S to stomp and LSHIFT to slide tackle

Controls Option 2:

•  Arrow Keys to move
• Z to jump (Hold Z to jump higher)
• X to attack (hold X for heavy attack)
• When you unlock them, you can use C to slide tackle and DOWN ARROW to stomp

Gameplay Tips:

• Try to learn to utilise all abilities; they all have specific use-cases
• Slide tackle makes you more mobile, able to escape bad situations and quickly travel across the pitch
• Stomp is good against crowds and thrives in situations where you really don't want to stay on the ground
• Double jump makes you more evasive and lets you stay in the air, making you difficult to hit
• Heavy attack is good against enemies who need to be knocked far
